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 resolve the burdens by convincing people to commit suicide. In the case of China, they don’t like to ask, but so-called Western Democracies, on the way to becoming China, like to put on airs.
We made you get the vaccine that injured you, and the cost to treat that is very high. Wouldn’t you instead just let us help you end your life? It’s the patriotic thing to do. No more pain, no more covered costs, and you’re liver is still healthy. We could use that to save someone whose life we’ve yet to ruin. Probably someone important or one of their family members.

In China, replace important or family with Party member.
The entire system is increasingly geared toward using Assisted Suicide to resolve issues as diverse as injured veterans, mental health, sick children, poverty, homelessness, and the disabled. Engaging with the state health system increasingly lands you in consultations where the pain from your botched surgery can get you bullied into letting them suicide you. Vaccine injury? Have you considered MAiD?
We’ll need to run sme tests in case you’re kidneys, lungs, eyes, liver, or heart are still in good shape. And after guilting you into letting us kill you, we’ll guilt you into coughing up some organs.[Related: Canada Would Like Your Organs Before They Kill You]
Organs being harvested from freshly euthanized patients are becoming more common; while this is the first heart transplant, there have already been liver, kidney, and lung transplants, and “at least 155 people in Canada have donated their organs and tissues after receiving a doctor-administered lethal injection” since 2016, although a “number of doctors are concerned that some Canadians receiving medical assisted death don’t actually meet Health Canada’s criteria for the procedure.”
The heart donor reportedly had ALS and “indicated his desire to donate his organs” after his assisted suicide was successful, but we don’t know other details. What we do know is human nature, the nature of government, and the likelihood that this has become an opportunity the state can’t pass up.
A recent study published in the American Journal of Transplantation found that Canada now has the highest number of organ transplants from people who underwent assisted suicide. The study, according to the Epoch Times, is the first international review of Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD).
It is not a stretch to suggest, because we have testimony from patients who refused to be killed by the state to avoid treatment, that they will bully you into thinking you are a burden. A burden to your spouse, or family, or whomever they can conjure up, true or not. And yes, there are guardrails, but they’ve gotten soft, and no one to my knowledge has faced criminal prosecution as more doctors line up to add MAid to their list of cures for what ails Canada.
It is this very predictable end that continues to fuel my opposition to every effort, every year, to pass an assisted suicide bill in my state. As I noted in April of 2024, in a post titled, “Assisted Suicide Will Start Out Well-Meaning, Then Gradually Revert To Its Eugenic Roots,”
Once passed, ideological descendants of the original Progressive Eugenicists who inspired Hitler will, in successive legislative sessions, remove safeguards, lower barriers, and soften restrictions.
The future of HB1283 is laid bare before us. Compassion will shift from those “near death” to those with chronic but tolerable illness, to the autistic, the homeless, the economically advantaged, and inevitably, people who ask. (but never imprisoned murderers; that would be inhumane).
You can agree or disagree on religious grounds, human rights grounds, equity, or whatever motivation moves you – but what you need to fear is State power to manage the general terms of human demise.
You can’t, nor should you, trust them. Not with your children’s education. Not with police power. And certainly now with life in the balance. Much like freedom, there will always be messy, uncomfortable, and even painful side effects, but the alternative is always worse. And let’s be honest, while I would disapprove, personally, if you really want to die, and I wish you didn’t, there are plenty of painless ways to do it that don’t put human liberty or the Republic in jeopardy.
By the way, I think China is probably the world leader in organ donations/transplants after “assisted suicide.” Canada is just better at reporting it for now.
