Canada’s euthanasia programme is flirting with eugenics
by Kevin Yuill, spiked:
The plan to expand medically assisted dying to drug addicts is utterly barbaric.
A few weeks ago, I accidentally toured one of the awful tent cities in Vancouver, Canada. At the corner of Main Street and Hastings Avenue, homeless drug addicts spread their few possessions out on blankets and cover the pavement for blocks on end. It is only a short distance from the restaurants and attractions of this fairly affluent city and is easy to stray into.
So long as they are not violent, homeless addicts are generally ignored across the city. Vancouverites, in that polite Canadian way, accept their presence and do what they can to be kind. Nonetheless, everyone I met spoke about the ‘crisis’ of addicts in Vancouver, where drugs have effectively been decriminalised.
Now, the Canadian authorities seem to have come up with a novel, frightening solution to the crisis: euthanasia.
