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 the French Revolution, where assisted dying was having your head “humanely” removed from your shoulders.
The origins of the French guillotine date back to late-1789, when Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin
proposed that the French government adopt a gentler method of execution. It became the symbol of the revolution during the Reign of Terror beginning in 1793.
What passes for modern-day France is in the throes of being conquered by third-world thugs invited in by the progressive elites to replace or displace the actual French, suppressing any outrage opposing the plan with laws that punish people who oppose Muslim rape gangs and rising sharia with intentionally vague hate speech laws.
Oh, and they’ve passed laws allowing you to kill yourself instead, which makes it a crime to try to prevent that. Yes, it’s true. It is a crime to try to talk your family member out of ending their own life (assuming they are doing so with the State’s permission).
France’s proposed law on medical assistance in dying (MAID) includes provisions that criminalize attempts to prevent a person from undergoing assisted dying. This law allows individuals suffering from severe and incurable illnesses to choose to end their lives under specific conditions.
Those found guilty could face up to two years in prison and a €30,000 fine.
It does not, as far as I can tell, criminalize public and mental health professionals from wrongfully advising MAiD as a resolution to whatever ails the state. There is also this.
Under the revised text, a person may be eligible for assisted dying if they experience “constant physical or psychological suffering” linked to a condition that is either “resistant to treatment or considered unbearable by the person concerned”, when they choose to stop receiving treatment.
Unlike the initial version of the bill, the revised text no longer includes the explicit sentence stating that “psychological suffering alone could never justify access to assistance in dying”.
Proponents insist that under no circumstances does this text allow for MAiD for anyone suffering solely from mental health issues.
“I want to say this very clearly: the text does not open access to assisted dying for anyone presenting psychological suffering,” he said during a committee session.”I will not repeat it five, 10 or 15 times. I do not know how else to say it other than by reading what the text actually says. Let us avoid sowing confusion where there is none.”
It hardly matters what your intention is. As with Medical Assisted dying laws in Canada, opponents rightly expect the guardrails proponents claim exist to disappear or collapse. The Great White North, which has much closer political ties to the EU and the same sort of elites, fell rather rapidly down the slippery slope into the world of wonderland. As in, I wonder how much money the National Health Service might save if it could convince an increasing number of people to let us medically assist them in dying.
Even in the US, the same sort of progressive elites have worked to make it more accessible and to shorten the time from yes, I want to die to the dramatic pulling of the sheet over their vacant eyes.
Controls, guardrails, whatever you want to call them, get subverted, rerouted, or removed. Agencies tasked with ensuring the integrity of the law get corrupted like all the others, as health professionals, once required to do no harm, find ways to invite it with terminal consequences.
They won’t be lining them up to fill baskets full of heads, nor will it be the ruling class on queue. And you won’t find any Muslims volunteering for it either. They can kill themselves if it advances the cause of the global ummah, but this ain’t that. Instead, the State, in the name of mercy, has just authorized the systemic euthanizing of ordinary, everyday Frenchmen and women. Citizens who might just invite mission creep because they want to be liberated from the dumpster fire decline of their nation before the Islamists take control and revert to the less gentle method of removing heads than the one devised by Dr. Joseph Guillotin.
The slippery slope is real, and France is already on it.
