“Slippery slope” no longer adequately describes what’s happening when it comes to the medically approved killing of Canadians. We’re standing on a cliff edge that’s being eroded with a fire hose.
Let Canada’s euthanasia timeline serve as a lesson for any other country so naïve as to think that legalizing assisted suicide will remain limited to a few compassionate cases and not turn into all-out assault on every vulnerable citizen – babies and children, the depressed and lonely, the homeless, and even those who fear they might be homeless one day.

And the tide of death keeps rising. As Terry O’Neill writes, the federal government is now clearly intent on offering euthanasia to Canadians suffering from mental illness.
