I don’t think kids should pay taxes or have jobs. Some kids aren’t interested in baseball or poetry. Some aren’t ready to date, others don’t want to. Some need assistance with everyday things. Let kids be kids.
In all seriousness though, this is the same kind of rhetoric which lead the Nazis to categorizing neurodivergent people as Untermenschen and killing us.
Canada has delayed expanding the euthanasia program to people with mental illness until they can come up with a satisfactory definition for mental illness. It should happen in about two years. At that point I imagine applications will skyrocket, because mental health care in Canada is basically non existent.
Until then, you can apply if you’re terminally ill, chronically suffering, or just poor. In fact poor people suffering from disability are often pushed into applying.
Currently, someone can request MAID if their death is “reasonably foreseeable” under what’s known as Track 1, or if they suffer from a “grievous and irremediable condition,” Track 2.

Looking at Canada suggesting euthanasia to anyone with a minimal problem, this rethoric is probably not a coincidence
A system’s function is what it does

Allowing assisted euthanasia? Sure. Pushing people towards it? How is this not considered outright murder? Or attempted murder?
I have no idea. Even threats are illegal in Canada.
Good lord someone stop that shit for fuck sakes
