Topic: Canadian government study finds way to save $1.3 trillion: euthanize the elderly

Should this be done so the youth can flourish, or should the next generation live in childless poverty to support late life medical care for seniors?

From the link:

> Finally, indigenous communities in Canda may also be viewed as good candidates as they are particularly marginalized (Allan & Smylie, 2015; Kirmayer et al., 2014; Smye et al., 2023), with high rates of substance abuse (Firestone et al., 2015), suicide (Kumar & Tjepkema, 2019), and poverty (Anderson & Collins, 2014). Historical practices, such as elders sacrificing themselves for the community (Spearim, 2020; Stegman, 2022), indicate a complex relationship with end-of-life decisions

lol, never change Canada.

> Canda
You know you can trust a study when it misspells the name of the country it's investigating. Quality pro-death advocacy as usual.

This has to be an elaborate joke or something.

"For a conservative estimate, this scenario considers MAiD eligibility for individuals with severe mental health conditions—such as major depressive episodes, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, and substance use disorders including alcohol and cannabis use disorders—accounting for 72.4% of this group (Fsevere-mental = 0.724), without imposing additional restrictions."

Assisted suicide for alcoholism? Really? I’ve heard some stupid things, but that’s pretty dumb!

I have an idea. Euthanise everyone when they are discovered to be autistic.
