Blogger Comment: Canada is now euthanizing more Canadians who are not classified as terminally-ill than those that are terminally-ill and where when legislation was passed in 2016 for Canada to start euthanizing their people, only terminally-ill people with less than 6-months to live were eligible and allowed to end their lives…now it appears that anything goes in Canada after 10 years and where this is not what the Canadian people voted for and now fear for their own lives where more and more Canadians are now with what is going on in Canada health service, going abroad for their healthcare as they do not feel safe anymore being treated in Canada’s hospital healthcare system…a sad indictment for a country that was once a symbol of freedom and wellbeing to all others around the world where they gave tens of thousands of lives during WW1 and WW2 for peace for humanity…but no longer it appears when it comes to their political class and leaders making Euthanasia the 3rd largest reason for Cnadians dying nowand increasing by the year…

Canada’s expanding “assisted suicide” regime has taken an alarming new step after the government euthanized a man with a lethal injection because he had poor eyesight.
The Canadian socialized healthcare system’s taxpayer-funded “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) program is facing renewed scrutiny over the killing, raising serious ethical and moral concerns.
John Maloney, an Alberta man who was not terminally ill, was euthanized after being approved under Canada’s “Track 2” MAiD category.
Track 2 allows individuals with non-terminal conditions to qualify.
However, Maloney was euthanized because of poor eyesight caused by congenital cataracts.
Although he could still see, the condition meant he was visually impaired and classed as being partially blind.
Man Approved for Euthanasia After Multiple Assessments
Maloney reportedly suffered from congenital cataracts, partial blindness, and Charles Bonnet Syndrome, a condition that can cause visual hallucinations.
After a previous suicide attempt in 2024, he was put forward for euthanasia through Canada’s “assisted suicide” system.
His first assessor denied his request, but a second approved it, with a third reportedly concurring following what was described as a “quality of life evaluation.”
“If someone else in my exact same position can live their life, I say, ‘Go hard,’” Maloney said.
“If you have a right to choose to live, then I have the right to choose to die.
“It’s about autonomy. It’s about choice.”
Maloney also acknowledged religious concerns.
He stated that while suicide is traditionally condemned, he believed God “gets it.”
Media Coverage Praised Decision as ‘Autonomy’
Corporate media coverage of the case emphasized Maloney’s personal reflections in the days leading up to his death.
The reports include his choice of music and his framing of euthanasia as an act of personal autonomy.
One of Maloney’s acquaintances stated appreciation for what was described as his “altruistic” decision.
The reporting framed his decision as a matter of individual choice, highlighting his belief that he was not “vulnerable” despite broader concerns raised about expanding euthanasia eligibility.
“We can all be vulnerable relative to the situation we’re in,” Maloney said.
“I think vulnerability is such an emotionally charged word.
“It’s just a blanket, like, ‘Okay, all disabled people are vulnerable.’
“No, they’re not. I don’t consider myself vulnerable.”
The reports also noted he was undergoing testing to determine eligibility for organ donation before his death.
As Slay News has previously reported, organ harvesting has boomed due to the surge in euthanasia.
The healthy organs of people killed by euthanasia can be worth millions of dollars.
In one recent case, a young, healthy woman’s euthanasia was fast-tracked by a hospital because her organs had already been sold before she died.
Critics Warn of Expanding Euthanasia Criteria
The case has intensified debate over Canada’s MAiD program, particularly its expansion to include individuals who are not terminally ill.
Critics argue that the system increasingly allows individuals experiencing mental distress or diminished quality of life to qualify for assisted death, raising concerns about safeguards and potential pressure on vulnerable individuals.
The fact that Maloney initially failed to qualify but was later approved after additional assessments has also drawn attention to how the system operates in practice.
Legislative Debate Continues in Alberta
The case comes as Alberta considers new legislation aimed at tightening restrictions on euthanasia eligibility, particularly for vulnerable individuals.
Disability rights advocates have expressed support for such measures, warning that current policies may place at-risk individuals in danger.
However, critics of the proposed restrictions argue they could limit personal autonomy for those seeking control over end-of-life decisions.
Growing Concerns Over Direction of Policy
Maloney’s case has become a flashpoint in a broader international debate over assisted suicide laws and their expansion.
The incident underscores ongoing tensions between individual choice, medical ethics, and the role of government in regulating life-and-death decisions, as policymakers continue to grapple with the long-term consequences of increasingly permissive euthanasia frameworks.
