Former paralympian tells MPs veterans department offered her assisted death.

Retired corporal Christine Gauthier

You made it sound like Paralympians were being killed by the Canadian govt. One paralympian veteran who who had a request into Veterans affairs received an inexcusible, tone deaf, and stupid offer of MAID services in response. That’s due to incompetence of her case worker, not malice. The paralympian is obviously alive and doesn’t claim to be coerced to her death.

I was enjoying reading this thread initially but now I'm just deeply disturbed by the deluded fanaticism. Excuse after excuse after excuse in order to justify some very questionable behaviour. I'm blown away that people seem utterly unable to analyse or acknowledge their own rank hypocrisy.

Almost seven years after Canada passed an assisted suicide law, it has become the leader of the world in transplanted organs harvested from its citizens it has assisted in killing

https://cbn.com/news/world/canadian-govt-program-leads-world-harvesting-organs-assisted-suicide

Some call it Eugenics.

Your source is the Christian Broadcasting Network, a US based, right wing publication. Their target readership includes huge amounts of fundamentalist, independent Christians, most of whom are wary of organ donation because it was not specifically mentioned in the KJV bible and they are worried that not having all your innards will make them ineligible for eternal salvation. Publications like this prey on this fear.

Reading this article without a fearful lens, all it’s saying is that some people choosing MAID are also choosing to donate their organs, and that these donations have resulted in a small increase (6%) in viable organ donation. There’s nothing shocking there. A large % of people choosing MAID do so due to cancer, so these people would likely be uneligible. But those with terminal heart failure or neurological illness who want to donate corneas or non affected organs now have the opportunity to do so. If they had been left to suffer against their will to the bitter end, those donations would not have been viable.

Even this article doesn’t mention the money making scheme you claimed earlier. In Canada, organ donation is voluntary and can be revoked at any time. These donations are these people’s final, voluntary gifts, don’t turn it into something ugly.

Catholics aren't interested in the King James bible.

The study was published in the American Journal of Transplantation in September 2022.

Data shows Canada as having 49 cases of ODE in 2021 alone, with 136 cases since euthanasia, or medical assistance in dying (MAiD), as it is called, became legal in Canada in 2016.
Between Canada, the Netherlands, Spain, and Belgium, there were 286 cases of ODE.
According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, 6% of all organ donations for transplants in Canada come from a person who died from MAiD.

You just want to make this seem as if it is nothing, smear me so you can push your agenda... roll up roll up for the trio of Eugenics. Abortion, puberty blocking and assistance suicide, it's fine, it's all good 👍 trust the lovely lefty who is very angry that Trump got in and this has been stopped.

Apparently this is beautiful gifting now, where as earlier it was just people who had a week or so to live, it's Eugenics as far as I can see.

Liberal euthanasia laws make Canada the world leader in organs harvested from assisted-suicide victims

Liberal euthanasia laws make Canada the world leader in organs harvested from assisted-suicide victims - LifeSite

Data shows that since MAiD became legal in 2021, over half of the world's organ transplants from those who were euthanized were done by doctors in Canada.

Organs worth ‘millions’

According to some estimates, a heart is “worth around $1 million in the U.S. Livers come in second, about $557,000, and kidneys cost about $262,000 each. Not to speak about human skin ($10/inch), stomach ($500), and eyeballs ($1,500 each).”

While selling one’s organ for money is illegal in most countries, Ireland warned that Canadians tend to be “naïve.”

“The price the market is willing to pay for human body parts is astounding,” Ireland said.

Ok.

This is a Catholic source, whereas your previous one was fundamentalist Christian. They are not the same, especially in the states. The types of Christians your previous source is geared to don’t consider Catholics to be Christians and assume they are going to hell.

As for this source, you’re right that the Catholic Church is cool with organ donation. However, it’s irrelevant because they are not cool, and have never been cool with suicide and consider it a mortal sin. MAID is technically a type of suicide, so not rocket science that the Catholic Church wants their followers to not do it.

If that was true, it would be a good thing, saving many lives. Based on your source, it's probably not true and I could find no other source which reports this.

It's not eugenics if it's done because people are sick and want to end their suffering. It's only eugenics if it's done to improve the genetics of the population.

If you only knew how hard it was to get assisted death you would likely not be concerned about this at all. I have a relative who has been trying for five years. You have to jump through a long list of hoops, exhausting all other options before it will even be considered. It's actually too restrictive if anything.

"Grab em by the pussy" is so ridiculous on its face that it is blatantly a joke.

Can you explain why this is funny?

Interesting how @CoatRack was insistent that this was a joke but is unable or unwilling to explain why it's funny 🤔

I just skimmed it. Majority of that was in retaliation to them saying horrible things about him. He doesn't just insult people for no reason. The view for example with Whoopi and Sunny, the women on that show are vile about him. Maxine walters, I remember a clip where she encouraged her supporters to harass trump suppprters whenever they see them.

Surely any politician with half a brain knows that if you want to look and indeed be statesmanlike you ignore personal insults?

Someone once grabbed me by the pussy when I was in a nightclub. I'm curious as to why I was supposed to find that funny. Or why someone saying they do that is funny?

You might think I'm dull but that's a million times better than finding comments about sexual assault funny. That makes you a dick.

When this first came to light, it was possible to think that this could be meant as a joke, or more likely in Trump's case, some 'locker room' boasting. Obviously it wasn't even funny then.

Now that Trump is an adjudicated sex offender found guilty by a jury of his peers, that 'joke' sounds more like a boastful confession.

CanadaNotAMum · 07/11/2024 00:30

Everything you’ve written here shows that you are part of the problem. Using “Locker room talk” to defend sexist behaviour is pretty dated and disgusting. If those are the locker rooms you hang out in, sounds like your gym caters to jerks.

Also, you seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the basics of consent. I’m not sure if it’s ignorance or you don’t really care, but maybe sit this one out.

Uh huh. It’s as if you’ve not spent time outside your echo chamber. Locker rooms are full of the stuff.

Also, I’ve no misunderstanding. I just question why people come out of the woodwork when there is a payday to be made? Stormy Daniels as the prime example of consensual to payout sought to keep quiet.

When people like Lammy throw around insults like nazi sympathiser and psychopath. I think it's valid to call them on it. Silly presenters on sofas, however, I wouldn't give any headspace to. Although their bosses should.

The source is linked in the article and you are sounding obtuce as a result in my opinion.

You seem to be in favour of abilest behaviour, abort the disabled, sterilise the autistic and kill those who have slight health issues like diabetes.

It sounds like you and Harris had your death cult rejected by the American public. 52% of white women aren't fussed if abortion is banned, they don't want to sterilise and mutilate autistic children or kill the sick like Canadians with MAID.

It was said that I made up via AI the paralympian along with human organs are harvested in Canada and there are other sources.

Labour didn't have assistance suicide on their manifesto btw.

I am laughing at Hulk Hogan and George Clooney 🤣 who takes any notice of celebs? They may be a form of pleasant entertainment, you aren't going to take any political notice of them reading their scripts after being paid out (were UK Labour also?) of that million dollar campaign fund with a $200,000 debt left for Harris. That's some mighty spending in about 3 months.

You can enjoy Taylor Swifts art and merch yet dismiss her political affiliation. It must sting the ego somewhat for someone like her that she has a limited reach.

And white women and Latino men are being scapegoated also, as if their only concern was woman/race/abortion not economy/safefuarding.

Would it make it right if the women were saying grab him by the penis? As I’ve heard a lot of stuff that goes on in the ladies locker room and I’d argue it’s worse. So to summarise, locker room talk is justifiable.

Jimmy Kinmel just said it very well today,
He said that:

Their older children must feel scared each time they get sick or have an accident, that they will be sent to Canada and given MAID.

As you keep whining 'what about the children', what are your views on the Second Amendment and school shootings?

Are you in favour of gun control or do you think that civilians should be able to buy military weapons such as AR15s? Are you in favour of background checks?

A lot of anti-abortion zealots absolutely love their guns and just offer 'thoughts and prayers' platitudes when once again children are murdered at school.

What is your position?

Sandygoldenbeaches · 07/11/2024 09:36

A lot of people I was chatting to today said that they feel really sad that we are stuck with Trump for another four years.

And more than that, they're sad that the USA has not evolved in any way in 8 years.

That they voted in a buffoon again
