Misplaced compassion
This topic extends to several other subtopics. But let's talk about a specific one:
Medical aid in dying (MAID) which is effectively modern euthanasia / killing / putting someone to sleep
of course the slippery slope was real and obvious from day one of MAID being proposed. Let's pyts (put you to sleep) if you're severely disabled and don't want to keep on living. Of course this was claimed to not extend beyond a specific set of people who qualified for MAID.
Did it include more people later on? Yes of course, the goal post moves and includes even more people to pts.
So apart from my obvious disapproval in killing disabled and poor people, let's state the meat and potatoes of this subject here.
the entire point of MAID is eugenics, but also the Canadian government saving money.
If you're disabled, the gov doesn't want to help you, that's why you're next in line to die. Thsts why they push you to die.
Your disability is a nuisance to your government, who is implementing eugenics all in the name of good faith. Because people with misplaced compassion actually fall for the propaganda of promoting the euthanasia of their disabled, their old, or their poor. In other words, the people that need the most help in a society.
The argument being that: actually, many people want to die.
Why not give them a clean way to to it? Let them go on their own terms?
Rather than helping a person NOT want to die, you're encouraging self suicide in the name of grace.
At the same time, many people approving of MAID will disapprove of the death penalty for criminals.
So mercy to the criminals, but not to the disabled? But what did the disabled do to deserve to die? I guess they should have been born in an able body.
All this to say: MAID is about killing disabled people, but simultaneously, we are calling it grace and welcoming it as modern medicine.
