Euthanasia as Healthcare is here to stay…and it is frightening! comments by Lorna McLaughlin
Canada’s Assisted Suicide program (MAiD) now euthanizes more people than it does animals.
Compare the two articles below, even just the headlines, to the article that follows those taken from Encyclopedia Britannia about the Nazi euthanasia program that started in 1939. They killed anyone they considered “unfit” and called it “merciful.” In fact, according to the Britannica article the extermination camps were initially set up and designed to enable this killing of its own citizens. Once perfected, the same design was later used for exterminating the Jews and “undesirables”. They estimate that from 1939-1945 as many as 200,000 German “undesirables” were exterminated. Many of the doctors who were willing to kill the crippled and poor and mentally ill German citizens became the doctors who later manned the concentration camp death machine. They had lost all moral direction and natural affection.
Do we really believe that man can avoid that same inevitable path when now we are being trained, as the German people were, to believe that euthanizing “undesirables” is morally good and indeed righteous? Even the UN has condemned Canada’s MAiD program! Do we need any more proof of how evil it really is? Man’s heart becomes hardened to evil very quickly because of our sin nature. How else can we explain the complicit participation of the German populace to Hitler’s genocide during WWII?
Be aware folks! New York State and other states are already moving in this same direction and between abortion and assisted suicide, death as medical care is becoming normalized! Once a conscience has been seared only God can bring it back. Once a culture has rejected God and accepted evil as legitimate and righteous it is done.
Here is what google’s AI Assistant says: ”As of 2026, physician-assisted suicide is legal in fourteen U.S. jurisdictions: Illinois, California, Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Montana, Maine, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington.”

How did the Nazi government frame euthanasia to get citizens to buy in? Here is what a simple AI Assist search revealed:
Propaganda and Deception
Nazi propaganda portrayed the euthanasia program as a means to conserve resources and improve the health of the nation. They claimed that the program would relieve the financial burden on society caused by individuals with disabilities. This narrative was reinforced through state-controlled media, which aimed to garner public support.
Conclusion
Through a combination of ideological justification, manipulative language, public persuasion, and propaganda, the Nazi regime was able to frame euthanasia in a way that facilitated widespread acceptance and participation in this horrific program.
Here is the latest from Dr. Makis on the situation in Canada. It is a chilling report!
NEWS: Canadians Forced into ‘Choosing’ Euthanasia After Being Denied Treatments
William Makis
Canada’s spiraling euthanasia system is once again under fire as heartbreaking new accounts reveal that a surging number of patients are being forced into “choosing” the government’s “assisted suicide” death program after being denied actual medical care under the nation’s collapsing socialized healthcare model.
An alarming number of Canadians are reporting that they have no other choice but to agree to be euthanized by the government, despite the supposed availability of treatments for their conditions.
As Slay News has previously reported, the government’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program is now saving tens of millions of dollars a year.
In 2024, the government saved over $136 million by euthanizing patients instead of treating them.
The latest chilling case to emerge is that of 84-year-old Cleo Gratton, a retired diamond driller from Chelmsford, Ontario.
Gratton’s story is sending shockwaves across the country.
He died earlier this month of natural causes, but only after being approved for the government’s “assisted suicide” scheme.
His family says the approval came directly after an appalling hospital experience that left him convinced death was preferable to returning to the facility.
Gratton suffered from heart disease and kidney failure.
But instead of receiving dignified care during a recent hospital stay, the CBC reports he spent a night in an emergency room, only to be transferred to a hallway on the seventh floor.
The taxpayer-funded doctors refused to give him the care he needed and convinced him that euthanasia would better serve the greater good.
“There were no lights; all the bulbs in that hallway had been completely removed,” his daughter Lynn said.
“Patients are passing by, nurses are going by, no privacy, no compassion, no dignity.”
She added that nurses had to use headlamps just to examine his feet.
The conditions were so degrading that Gratton told his family he would “rather die than go back.” Days later, he applied for MAiD — Canada’s euthanasia program now infamous for replacing care with chemical death.
Before his natural passing, Gratton pleaded with his family to expose what he endured: “Push, push, push for change… Make people aware of what’s going on.”
His family is honoring that wish.
A Pattern of Patients Being Denied Care — but Approved for Death
Gratton’s story is only the latest in a staggering pattern: Canadians who want medical treatment, home care, or palliative support are being told the only available option is assisted suicide.
Slay News has been tracking these cases for years, and they’re accelerating:
• Norman Meunier (Quebec): A quadriplegic man who developed severe bedsores after being left on an ER stretcher for four days without a proper mattress. Overwhelmed and denied home care, he “chose” MAiD last year.
• “Mrs. B” (Ontario): An 80-year-old woman denied hospice and palliative care. After her spouse became overwhelmed, she was assessed for MAiD and lethally injected shortly after.
• Sathya Dhara Khovac (Winnipeg): A 44-year-old woman who repeatedly begged for home care resources but was refused. In her obituary, she wrote she “could have had more time” if she’d been given help. Instead, she was euthanized in 2022.
• Sean Tagert (B.C.): A 41-year-old father who battled the system for years to receive home care that would allow him to remain close to his son. Unable to secure the support he needed, he felt he had “no other choice” but euthanasia in 2019.
• Canadian veterans: A recent testimony revealed a surging number of veterans are being offered MAiD instead of the mental health support they requested.
These aren’t isolated incidents, however.
They’re a systemic feature of a government-run system using euthanasia as a cost-saving pressure valve for an overstretched and underfunded healthcare bureaucracy.
A Healthcare System Pushing Vulnerable Toward Death
Even as Gratton’s family praised the individual doctors and nurses, who they said are overworked and stretched thin, they warned that the system itself is failing.
“Why are they still taking in patients if we have an overcrowding issue and they have no place to put these people?” Lynn asked.
The answer is becoming clearer:
The system has an escape hatch after legalizing euthanasia.
Rather than investing in long-term care, home care, mental health support, or palliative medicine, Canada’s government has built the world’s most aggressive assisted suicide regime.
And it is increasingly used on the elderly, the disabled, the poor, and those simply unable to access basic support.
With the government pushing to expand MAiD to include mental illness, critics warn the system will shift from crisis to catastrophe.
Euthanasia Has Become the Default Option, Not the Last Resort
In a civilized society, assisted suicide would be a tragic last resort.
In Canada, it is becoming a routine substitute for care.
The chilling reality is that the Liberal Canadian government now sees “assisted suicide” as:
- A cost-saving mechanism.
- A release valve for a failing system.
- A quiet way to disappear the vulnerable.
This is not compassion.
It’s coercion through neglect.
And unless Canadians demand change, the stories will only grow more frequent and more horrifying.
