The oft-mocked "slippery slope" arguments from conservatives with regard to euthanasia are terrifyingly coming to fruition in Canada.
Last month, a group of medics from Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children outlined their plans for administering "medically assisted suicide" for patients under the age of 18 in the "near future." The paper, published in the British Medical Journal, asserts their commitment to "patient confidentially" with such hypothetical children, stating that there will likely be cases where a "capable" child patient could undergo the "assisted suicide" without parents being informed first. ...
And parents might not be notified about their child's "decision" to have doctors kill them.
"Usually, the family is intimately involved in this (end-of-life) decision-making process," says the paper. "If, however, a capable patient explicitly indicates that they do not want their family members involved in their decision-making, although health care providers may encourage the patient to reconsider and involve their family, ultimately the wishes of capable patients with respect to confidentiality must be respected."
Canada has been glamorizing euthanasia for some time now. ...
