  1. Would you prefer Child Protective Services be called because the child is clearly afraid to tell their parents they feel they are a different gender?
  2. That's absurd to embrace suffering to simply embrace the sanctity of life until the very last minute. I notice no one commented about my example of killing ones self quickly as opposed to, say being burned alive. Are these dogmatic principals used for that as well?
  3. Giving someone a lethal dose of Morphine to ease a person's pain is not some new practice. https://www.mypcnow.org/fast-fact/morphine-and-hastened-death/ As an aside, Google thinks want to kill myself looking for cites on this issue ?
  4. The proof? https://www.cdc.gov/measles/elimination.html Measles has actually been making a bit of a comeback because anti-vax lunatics thinks it gives people Autism. . . without any proof.
  5. So you're cool with those drugs being used to prolong a life that's going to end imminently anyway, but not to end their suffering completely. You understand that using opiates to control pain is not natural either.
  6. You understand the quibbling nature of this though don't you? Drugs to sedate someone for the rest of their natural life. . . Good! Drugs to end someone's suffering . . . Mortal Sin!
  7. Then God would be a sadist. For example, would it be a mortal sin to shot yourself in the head rather than burn alive. Were the people whom jump from the Twin Towers on 911 committing a mortal singe because God has decided they must either be burned alive or crushed under the weight of a building. Regardless the idea of a mercy killing being a "sin" should not play a factory in the legality of MAID.
  8. So you're denying death by diseases like ALS or Cancer are objectively unpleasant? Speaks to my point about simply being sedated for the rest of your short life. The same drugs that are highly illegal for recreation are perfectly fine for keeping someone alive longer than, perhaps, they should be. It's weird how people of faith believe that people should live as long as possible even to subject people to medical intervention and drugs when there could be a much better existence beyond death. So present your own evidence that scores of people were pressured to end their lives early. That's a worthwhile debate. And I mentioned it in an earlier post. People who aren't terminally ill probably shouldn't look to the government to help them off themselves. But that doesn't mean MAID isn't useful to someone who is terminally ill an incapable of ending their own lives.
  9. Be real though, regardless of how good the palliative care is, doesn't negate the fact that some people are destined for a painful and prolonged death. Why shouldn't we spare them the suffering? We do it for animals. What type of life is being sedated until you finally succumb to an illness. The same could be said for dementia, if someone has no memory of the life they once lived, how valuable really is the life they have?
  10. I just find it it like a bait and switch that an honest debate about Pronouns often gets lumped into this. I would as you, how many instances did the person regret the treatment? Because that detail important as well. It seems you are opposed to any minor getting Gender Affirming Care.
  11. So teachers are taking students to the doctors to get their tits cut off? Like is this something that happens all the time? It sounds like people are using fears of this to fan the flames of the pronoun debate. Because that's all these laws are focusing on, not people taking minors to get their tits cut off without parental consent.
  12. Why? Some would call the idea of Universal Healthcare Socialism. That would include all sorts of healthcare. Again I'm not opposed to is, but it's the bulk of the costs we shoulder as a society related to healthcare costs. This is a particularly pathetic use of Godwin's Law. You say "many" provide some stats before you accuse the service as Nazi. I've already highlighted the intent of the program. If people are being euthanized without their consent, that's murder.
  13. Then this should be corrected. But the idea of MAID is sound, saving people from the pain they might otherwise experience from an inevitable painful death. But to your OP, how much money should we devote to End-of-Life treatment, because it already accounts for a gigantic amount of our Healthcare costs. https://www.cdhowe.org/media-release/canadas-sky-high-costs-end-life-care-need-solutions I'm not opposed to funding going to more palliative care. But you should concede it's a socialist venture.
  14. I guess it becomes problematic when it's seen as condoning suicide. Ultimately MAID is a substitute for suicide, but in cases where the death is going to happen, it's seen as a mercy. Killing someone because they're unhappy with their financial or social fortunes is not something out government should dabble in.
  15. This would only be valid if MAID is mandatory. If someone will eventually die from a disease like Cancer or ALS, and would prefer not to endure the pain and suffering the death from such a disease would entail, who are you to say that shouldn't be allowed?
  16. Vaccines for respiratory viruses like the Flu and COVID are tricky because they mutate so frequently. Annual Flu shots have been a thing for a long time. Nevertheless they're a tool to reduce sickness even if you do get infected. I guess unless you feel Viruses are a tool to control the populace, which seems odd seeing they aren't mandatory. Now childhood vaccines for very serious diseases that don't mutate are a completely different story, they should be mandatory to use public institutions like schools.
  17. Is it Valid? What's the appetite for this? There were a lot of things that happened during the pandemic that, in hindsight, seem super heavy handed. I know, here in Ontario, there's absolutely no appetite for government's to mandate masking or vaccination. Some Hospitals have brought back masking, but in a healthcare setting, that doesn't seem so crazy and unreasonable. But we're not talking about making people wear masks to the grocery store anymore.
  18. If we didn't get Mask mandates last fall, I seriously doubt we'll see them again related to COVID. Teresa Tam was asking people to start masking a few weeks ago, not for COVID necessarily, but all respiratory viruses. As for vaccines. They aren't a bad thing. If you don't want to get sick they help against that. If you think your immune system is rock solid, don't get them. There's no harm in promoting them.
  19. Buried in this article: And EV people seem unbothered by the ecological issues presented by the continued burning of fossil fuels. There are already alternatives to the many metals required for battery production being developed.
  20. So should the CPC be able to bring down a government without sufficient votes?
  21. Because the Magazine probably makes money. They can force suppliers to advertise for better shelf space.
  22. Just conceding they exist and have rights isn't having the ideology being shoved down our throats though.
