Subhead: Seniors heading to the hospital for pain management are now being offered lethal injection instead of real care, as the ‘last resort’ becomes routine.#

Despite promises that Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) would be a compassionate last resort reserved for the most exceptional cases of unbearable suffering, it has become routine in Canada.
State-sanctioned euthanasia is now offered to seniors in hospitals and doctors’ offices in lieu of genuine care.
Most recently, on Vancouver Island (now widely recognized as Canada’s euthanasia capital), one such senior arriving at an emergency room was met with the offer of death instead of a treatment plan.
The @cpso_ca reiterates its policy of falsifying euthanasia death certificates.

As Amanda Achtman, founder of Dying to Meet You and ethics director for Canadian Physicians for Life, put it: “It is really devastating because personally I am hearing from seniors constantly about how they are being met with suggestions of death rather than offers of health care… Seniors who, even upon arrival to a hospital or upon going to see their family doctor were met with the suggestion that maybe they would be better off dead. And who can trust their doctor in that climate? It’s just crushing.”
