Just a quick post to show you how the slippery slopeslip slides away.

Canadas Supreme Court imposed a nationwide regime on the entire country. An obedient Parliament passed enabling legislation, including safeguards to protect against abuse.

Now, these supposedly vital protections in actuality, they are loosey-goosey are increasingly seen instead as hurdles that interfere with the right to be made dead.

Heres an example from a journalists opinion column out of London, Ontario:

Canadians should be forewarned that the road to a medically assisted death is paved with speed bumps and potholes: that the law and its regulations were hastily devised and are imperfect; that the supply of doctors who are both willing and competent enough to safely assist in a patients death is severely limited; and that the pathway to release from suffering can take unexpected and sometimes inexplicable detours.

Our parliamentarians should look to improve the legislation sooner rather than later.

These improvementswill likely include such culture-of-death agenda items as alegal mandate for MDs to participate in killing even if they have religious or moral objections an expansion of eligibility to specifically includenon-terminal conditions, and authority to kill Alzheimers patients who asked to be killed in an advance directive.

We need to think about this as the assisted suicide argument unfolds here: Accepting euthanasia changes a societys collective consciousness. The impetus to protect life soon morphs into a drive to embrace death.
