In Canada, woman goes in for mastectomy surgery and is offered euthanasia

They [italic]offer[/italic] it? Like, hey, have you considered death instead of surgery? Just want you to know all your options before you make a decision.

I'd like it to be an option, as long as they don't make in mandatory. It's not even an option in most US states if you're terminally ill.

I know you can run into legal hassles if you don't go through the better agencies, but I've never had any problems with youth in Asia.

Au contraire!

I would check that box for sure

I'm sick of existing

She shouldn't whine about being offered something.

No I agree. I’m not at all against the option to exit this earth when you want. Aging can be brutal and expensive. It’s just the idea that the doctors bring it up as a possibility before you do that strikes me as a little odd.

A life without tits is a life not worth living?

I would LOVE to have it offered. The last thing I want to do is “fight cancer” at my age.

Do they make you pay for it? That just seems like a slap in the face.

Geez that’s insane. I think it’s ok if you’re looking for it but not offered unsolicited.

Justin Cunt Trudeau's Final Solution.

I've been telling you assholes that Canada has descended into a dystopian nightmare, and have been called a magat in return. Believe me now?

As Armando Iannucci once said: "With abortion at one end and euthanasia at the other, eventually the only people left on the planet will be thirty-four-year-olds."

do you have to be Canadian?

This is awful. Just plain sick. Fkin immoral.

At least she was "offered" suicide as a choice, we didn't have an option to live.

There's a huge difference between letting a patient know what their choices are, and "pushing" something on them.

If it’s not legal where you’re at, just buy a one-way ticket to Switzerland.

No, immoral is your behavior 24/7, whitey.

Is Carousel an option?

r17 naw. I'm just going to buy a ticket to New Jersey and live there for 2 months.

Boobies, boobies, boobies. Nothin' but boobies. Who needs em?

The natural direction of government run healthcare.

I don't think I believe this. Sounds too dystopian and pushing a conservative agenda.

R23 Yes. This article and entire thread has conservative "moral panic" written all over it. "They're trying to kill our cancer patients!"

Will add that anytime the federal government tries to give citizens autonomy over their own bodies and health decisions, conservatives start fizzing at the mouth and bleeding out of their whatevers. I knew it wouldn't be long before the "they're executing infant babies!" variety of propaganda hit the world stage when it came to voluntary euthanasia (see R11).

so what

It sends the wrong message that nobody wants you when you’re old and cancerous. I do think people are a little too involved with personal media these days. I know when I’ve been escorted by medical personnel to treatments, it’s been by dull eyed, cud chewing texters.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Is it that simple? I’m considering my options since I don’t think I will be able to afford care when I’m too old to live 100% on my own. Aging in America is really expensive.

I'd much rather they execute the adult babies.
