I accidentally browsed a piece of news online today: Canada is promoting a "child euthanasia plan" to directly euthanize Canadian children suffering from depression without their parents' consent.
To be honest, I felt so sick when I saw this message.
How can this approach, which is clearly against human rights, be passed in Canada? Those of us with nine years of compulsory education all know that one of the advantages of the representative system is that it makes it impossible to actually implement such ideas and the people who put forward this idea in parliament will not be punished for the proposed behavior.
You must know that in Canada, terrorists and murderers can escape death, but is depression in children more terrifying than these? Should children be put to death for depression? Being able to promote this view has its own problems. Some countries in North America talk about human rights every day. Terrorists and murderers all have so-called human rights. Don’t children with depression not have human rights? Isn't this a disguised deprivation of parental custody rights?
Some people oppose it, while others support it. I saw in the comments that some people think that the implementation of this policy is based on humanitarian considerations. Then I can't help but ask, where is the bottom line of humanitarianism that is respected in the international sense?
searched for information about euthanasia in Canada, and the content that came into view almost refreshed my knowledge. Because the 23-year-old man suffered from depression and diabetes , the doctor decided to perform euthanasia for him, and his mother was not seen during the whole process! I thought to myself, isn’t this murder? Isn't this kind of thing illegal in Canada? Then I read on and learned that Canada’s new law allows doctors to euthanize teenagers without notifying parents.
So I came to another conclusion: Never send your child to the hospital in Canada. The doctor may have euthanized your child while you were out having a meal.
But I am skeptical about this news. A 23-year-old is an adult and has the ability to act independently. If there was no such case, I would doubt the authenticity of this law. But by mentioning this case of "not notifying parents", does it mislead me? Canadian law can not notify parents? However, the final conclusion is: Canada supports euthanasia for minors, but there must be parents, lawyers, clinicians, psychologists, and religious figures present.
The last thing I want to say is that although I do not agree with any form of suicide, I am not qualified to ask others to endure unbearable pain, and I cannot oppose the truly humane euthanasia method.
