Blogger Comment: Just one of the Globalist’s killing fields and nothing to see here but death as usual, as the Globalists get nearer to their golden year of 2030 and then the real killings start from 8.3 billion to less than 500 million by 2050….as they have said so…in Davos several times…but you have missed ity every time…
“WEF: ‘Big Winners’ Reduce Populations, ‘Substitute Humans with Machines” https://world-freedom.co.uk/2024/05/07/wef-big-winners-reduce-populations-substitute-humans-with-machines/
.
The Canadian government’s euthanasia regime has taken a chilling new turn after taxpayer-funded doctors were given the green light to euthanize a healthy woman because she had “lost her ability to cook,” arguing that the lethal injection was the only appropriate action because she had “lost her value.”
Canada’s socialist healthcare system approved a woman in her 70s for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) after she began believing that her role in her family had become diminished.
The woman ultimately chose to live after counseling helped her understand that her family loved her for who she was.
But approval to die had already been granted, and she was on track to be killed.
The chilling case was exposed by two psychiatrists who helped implement Canada’s assisted dying system.
They are now warning that people are being approved who should not be.
Gary Rodin and Madeline Li detailed the case in their October 5 New York Times opinion article, “We Implemented Canada’s Assisted Dying Law. We’re Concerned.”
Their warning comes alongside a separate family’s devastating accusation that an 83-year-old Christian grandmother was euthanized against her will while pleading for her life.
Approved to Die, Then Discovered Her Family Still Valued Her
The woman described by Rodin and Li had loved preparing large Sunday dinners for her family.
When she started to struggle to cook for large groups, she felt she no longer had anything to offer them.
“She sought and received approval for assisted dying after she lost the ability to cook,” Rodin and Li wrote.
“She felt she had lost her value to her family.
“Through counseling, she came to understand that her family valued who she was, not what she did for them.
“She decided not to go through with ending her life, at least for now,” the psychiatrists wrote.
“That Christmas, her family gathered and she sat proudly at the table, while others did the cooking and serving.”
Counseling changed her decision.
Instead of receiving a lethal injection, she lived to celebrate Christmas with the family she had feared she was failing.
The case exposes a disturbing failure: a woman who needed help understanding her worth had already been approved to end her life.
Doctors Who Built the System Sound Alarm
Rodin and Li support assisted suicide in principle.
Both have “counseled patients about the procedure and assessed whether they were eligible,” the psychiatrists wrote.
One has “administered the drugs to end patients’ lives,” they stated.
Their involvement extended to building the system itself.
Rodin and Li wrote that “together, we created an institutional framework that determined how one of Canada’s largest medical centers would respond to requests for assisted death.”
Now they are warning about its consequences.
“But Canada’s system for assisted death is no longer an option of last resort,” Rodin and Li wrote.
“Too many people are receiving the procedure without the opportunity for careful reflection about it with a health provider.
“In some cases, patients are being approved who should not be,” the psychiatrists wrote.
“Reports have emerged of people seeking assisted death in the context of poverty or loneliness, raising concerns that they may feel they have no other options.”
Even among cancer patients, Rodin and Li warned that “there’s a risk of rushing into it and shortening what can be a meaningful period in patients’ lives.”
These are warnings from doctors who participated in assisted dying, not merely critics observing it from outside.
They describe patients facing death without adequate reflection, inappropriate approvals, and requests shaped by poverty or isolation.
Euthanasia Accounts for Approximately 5% of Deaths
Rodin and Li described Canada’s regime as “one of the most permissive in the world, allowing assisted dying for almost any form of subjectively intolerable suffering that has a medical basis, or even for medically unexplained physical symptoms.”
Assisted dying now accounts for approximately 5% of Canada’s annual deaths.
In 2023, the Medical Assistance in Dying program accounted for 4.7% of deaths nationwide.
The psychiatrists argued that assisted-suicide activists have largely driven policy and said other medical professionals share their concerns.
The woman who chose to live illustrates the stakes of those concerns.
Her belief that she had become worthless was not permanent. Support helped change it.
The approval to end her life had come first.
Family Says Christian Grandmother Begged to Live
A separate case involves Brigitte Stegemann, an 83-year-old Ontario grandmother whose family says she was euthanized against her will.
Stegemann received a lethal injection under Canada’s taxpayer-funded MAiD program on July 10 at The Pearl care home in Canifton.
Her granddaughter and longtime caregiver, Brigitte Kranendonk, says Stegemann was confused, failed a cognitive assessment, and did not clearly consent on the morning of the procedure.
Stegemann had been diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer in February.
Doctors were uncertain whether she had six months or as long as two years to live.
Kranendonk said her grandmother had previously rejected assisted dying.
“No, I don’t want that,” Stegemann said, according to Kranendonk.
Her granddaughter said Stegemann’s Christian faith and fear of displeasing God were central to that opposition.
Nevertheless, while Kranendonk was away on a 10-day road trip, the care home informed her that her grandmother would undergo a MAiD assessment.
Confusion and Tears Before Lethal Injection
Kranendonk said she later witnessed a cognitive assessment during which Stegemann gave incorrect answers about her family.
Her grandmother said she had no siblings despite having 13 and incorrectly said none were still alive, according to Kranendonk.
The doctor still declared her eligible for MAiD.
Two days before the procedure, Kranendonk confronted her grandmother with what was scheduled to happen.
“Do you know that you’re going to die on Friday?” Kranendonk asked.
Stegemann cried for 45 minutes, according to her granddaughter.
“I’ve made a mistake,” Stegemann said, Kranendonk recalled.
Kranendonk repeatedly told her she could refuse.
“The doctors are coming on Friday, and you just say no,” Kranendonk recalled telling her grandmother.
Kranendonk described Stegemann’s distress by saying “she was bawling. Inconsolable.”
“I Don’t Want the Death Shot!”
On the day of the procedure, Kranendonk says her grandmother repeatedly removed a medical port intended to provide access to a vein.
“I don’t want the death shot!” Stegemann screamed, according to Kranendonk.
Her granddaughter said Stegemann was unresponsive when the doctor arrived.
According to Kranendonk, the doctor described the injection as medicine and asked whether it was acceptable.
Her grandmother did not open her eyes, nod, or speak, but the doctor proceeded.
Stegemann was pronounced dead within 10 minutes.
The account is the family’s allegation of what happened.
Kranendonk says the experience destroyed her trust in the institutions she expected to protect her grandmother.
“I was flying blind,” Kranendonk said.
The two cases deliver a devastating challenge to Canada’s euthanasia safeguards.
One woman was approved to die because she felt worthless after losing the ability to cook, then chose life after counseling.
Yet, doctors sought to euthanize the patient before treating her.
Another family says their grandmother’s pleas to live were followed by a lethal injection.
And doctors who helped establish the system are now warning that patients are receiving approvals they should never have been given.
