College of Physicians Reccomends MAiD for Children Up to a Year Old

My apologies for revisiting this topic so soon, but this was impossible to pass—the grotesque institutionalization of post-birth abortion as a kindness. Ethicists have long proposed letting parents end their young children, but ‘experts’ are asking permission to call it assisted suicide.

Sort of – from Igor Chudov.

 

I apologize for using the oxymoronic term “assisted suicide for babies” in the title. An infant is not self-aware and cannot “commit suicide.” Infants want to live, eat, and be held by their parents. And yet, the Quebec College of Physicians wants to expand the Canadian “Medical Assistance in Dying” program to infants.

Chudov notes plenty of issues, not just the fact that infants -even one-year-olds – are capable of understanding what life is such that they could request someone end it. And how no one knows how they sense or perceive pain, not really.

He also has details about characters who appear to love the idea of encouraging approving requests to die. These angels of mercy death must be beside themselves over such good fortune. Not only are governments embracing assisted suicide – medically assisted dying – but they are also broadening its reach.

And, as we’ve noted in several pieces, this newfound love of medically assisted death has done wonders for the availability of healthy organs for transplants. Despite being equipped with a growing DNA record of the populace, a political enemies list, a surveillance state, and the legislative authority to convince almost anyone they need to die, no one should be concerned. Noting inappropriate could possibly happen when the compassionate state needs a heart for a ranking party member or one of their children. Sorry, did I type that last part out loud?

Nothing to see here. No slippery slopes as far as your donated cornea can see.

Note: Experts in Quebec have also suggested that assisted suicide is appropriate for the homeless and the poor. What’s next, people who don’t speak French?

The voice is (obviously) the translator.
