I fully support being able to choose to end your own life with dignity. But in Canada there were reports of people encouraging the homeless and severely ill to do it, simply because it was cheaper and easier for the institutions if these people killed themselves.
Within a capitalist society, where the lives of those who do not produce profit are not valued, it can lead to some sickening discriminatory behavior from profit-driven institutions.
The first literally says there is a RISK of that happening (and the why’s of that risk being utter nonsense), yet the title sounds like doctors are just sitting and waiting with a syringe to stab any random patients that come by. It’s bullshit
The second is exactly the same with one difference: it has a link to an article talking about a SINGLE doctor at veterans affairs apparently suggesting it, and veterans affairs basically punishing the doctor for that.
So I’m sorry, but both articles make it sound like the Canadian government can’t wait o murder you while in reality there was one single doctor who didn’t follow protocol.
I’m sorry, but the argument isn’t supported by facts, this does not happen

Sources on that? Serious question
I’ve heard multiple people claiming this yet haven’t read anything about it
