MACDONALD: When You Think About Assisted Dying in France…

February 24, 2026 Steve MacDonald

France is one of those Western-style democracies that, after being liberated from the Nazis, began a long, slow decline toward the very tyranny they had escaped. A sort of Neo-monarchy with a protected political class capable of stopping populist uprising (ask Marine Le Pen about that), and increasingly like the one they shirked off during … Read more

MACDONALD: And They Call Us Fascists

November 4, 2025 Steve MacDonald

I’m not sure how many readers remember Heavy Metal (the cartoon art mag, not the music). They released an eponymously named movie in 1981, which I recall liking. In one scene, someone in charge of something tells the hero, Den, that he “must steal the Loc-Nar from the Queen in order to save Katherine.” I … Read more

MADONALD: Canada’s “Organ Business” MAiD to Succeed!

October 11, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Off and on for two plus years, we’ve been pointing at Canada and saying, they’re going to “suicide” people for their organs. The entire government-assisted suicide project is one big slippery slope to begin with, so making it more like China wasn’t a hard call to make. The system creates the problems, but it can … Read more

MACDONALD: How Long Until They Find A Reason To Kill* You?

August 16, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Those familiar with the slippery slope series have kept up with my years of observation and commentary on the question of state-sanctioned assisted suicide. At its simplest, the only obligation a state might have is to ensure contracts with health care and insurers are honored in these circumstances. The bills are paid and survivors get … Read more

MacDonald: Before We Give Them Our Permission to Die …

May 18, 2025 Steve MacDonald

The UK’s Royal College of Psychiatrists (RC Psych) has taken an unusual position on an Assisted Dying Bill before parliament. Unlike many in the US and Canada, the RC Psych has chosen to be cautiously neutral while disagreeing with politicians and advocates that this is the ultimate expression of empathy. When people are miserable, particularly … Read more

Killing You Softly

February 26, 2025 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire is taking another shot at state-supervised suicide (HB 254), and I admit to not having paid nearly enough attention this time around. It is true that we can’t cover every bill or focus on what may be important to you or your group, but I’ve written extensively on the pitfalls of what the … Read more

If The State Isn’t Welcome In Your Death Bed, Don’t Advocate To Let Them In

February 25, 2025 Lori Safford

Rebuttal to Steven Gordon: The state isn’t welcome in my deathbed Like Steven Gordon, I spent almost five hours at the State House earlier this month listening to testimony supporting and opposing HB 254. Two of my three children who have experienced suicidal ideation testified. Supporters like Steve call this bill “the End of Life … Read more

Testimony In Opposition to NH’s Latest Assisted Suicide Bill

February 1, 2025 Steve MacDonald

The “death with dignity” folks are back with another wordy piece of legislation to get the State into the business of supervising self-discorporation. While we have more than demonstrated how dangerous this course is, those obsessed with death and depopulation continue to seek paths to state-managed suicide. The first hearing for this year’s “effort” (HB254) … Read more

Canada Would Like Your Organs Before They Kill You

January 15, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Canada is ready for a political change. Justin Trudeau is at the end of his political leash and has promised to step down as soon as his tyrannical party agrees to a replacement. He has no chance of winning the upcoming election (sounds like Biden), and they need a plan B (like Kamala) who will … Read more

Slippery Meet Slope: Another COVID Vaxx Injured Canadian Gets Suicided

October 31, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The Can in Canada looks increasingly like, “Can we find a reason to kill you?” and “What hoops are here to jump through so we can?” It’s not a new problem. The Grok has followed Canada’s ride down the slippery slope for a number of years. A path littered with bodies as assisted suicides rise … Read more

Is the Answer to the Housing Crisis Assisted Suicide?

October 21, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Like most of what the government tries to do, the goal is never what you see on the surface. The patina is meant to suggest compassion, but at the end of the day, the government’s role has become a question of how it survives on a dwindling resource (you or your labor). It robs you … Read more

Slippery Slope: Assisted Suicide Will Always Be Cheaper Than Treatment

June 14, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The Assisted Suicide Bill in New Hampshire got benched for the time being, but not the topic. And we’re not saying you can’t choose to kill yourself. We’re saying the government will inevitably abuse it to the detriment of people and public health.

ICYMI – NH’s Assisted Suicide Bill Has Been Benched: 17-7 Vote to Send it To Interim Study

May 19, 2024 Steve MacDonald

In case you missed it, the New Hampshire assisted suicide bill got benched this week. The New Hampshire State Senate, in a rare roll call vote, voted to send the bill to an Interim study. They didn’t kill the bill, but by suggesting it needs a deeper, longer look, they sidelined it indefinitely.

A Long List of Problems with New Hampshire’s Assisted Suicide Bill (HB1283)

March 18, 2024 Op-Ed

Proponents of HB1283 argue that, per a UNH survey, 71% of the people of NH were in favor of assisted suicide. After obtaining the survey and speaking with UNH, I found out that the NH Alliance for End-of-Life Options paid $1800 for the survey.

Slippery Meet Slope – Doctors Recommend Assisted Suicide to Woman Paralyzed by COVID Jab

February 28, 2024 Steve MacDonald

I’ve been writing about the government-assisted suicide slippery slope for a while, so seeing this particular aspect of my predictions for the practice is not surprising. It is, however, still alarming, or it should be.

Slippery Meet Slope: Colorado Assisted Suicide Bill Drops Wait Time To 48 Hours

February 17, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Medically Assisted Dying, which used to be a war crime and opposed by the American left as a form of Capitol Punishment, is the Depopulation Prog’s new Hot Ticket. With too many of the wrong sort of people on the planet, why not normalize suicide and then give them a reason to want to kill themselves?

Slippery Meet Slope: Medically Assisted Suicide Could Save Millions in Health Care Costs

January 23, 2024 Steve MacDonald

NH’s “Assisted Suicide” Bill is Alive. ALIVE!

December 18, 2023 Steve MacDonald

In early October, we alerted you to a service request from a New Hampshire legislator for a proposed Assisted suicide bill. Marjorie Smith was fishing for co-sponsors for her “ACT relative to end-of-life options,” and she found some.

Slippery Meet Slope: When You are Worth More Dead Than Alive

November 7, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The specter of the assisted-suicide-to-orga- donation pipeline has again raised its unethical head. A story out of Belgium has people lining up to take sides and ask questions after a 16-year-old girl approved for euthanasia had her organs tested and then harvested.

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

October 23, 2023 Steve MacDonald

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.
