I hate euthanasia. They are now, in Belgium, killing people with depression. Something I have a personal response rate of well over 90% because I do not give up. Where there are guidelines. Where there are new biological treatments coming online to supplement cognitive therapy, medications, and ECT, such as TMS, Ketamine, transcranial electrical stimulation, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness…

Molech does not care. Slip them some poison. Belgium has only one use: to show us how far a nominally Catholic country can descend into evil.

Between 2002 and 2013, a total of 179 cases with a psychiatric disorder or dementia diagnosis only were identified. The proportion of euthanasia cases with these disorders was 0.5% of all cases reported in the period 2002–2007, increasing from 2008 onwards to 3.0% of all cases reported in 2013 (Table 1). The increase in absolute numbers of cases with a psychiatric disorder or dementia is evident from 2008 onwards (Fig. 1), particularly in cases with a mood disorder diagnosis (Fig. 2).

The context is that euthanasia is now normalized in that nation. The rate is going up. It is acceptable. Those who say that there is no slippery slope refuse to see this, but they forget that we can look at other nations.

Returning to the paper. Please note the blandness of the language. It is deliberate. Note that the younger people killed, in general, have mood disorders. Note that death is now seen as an option, and the second opinion was often given by the family doctor. Note how it has become routine.

The 179 cases identified consisted mainly of mood disorders (46.4%) and dementia (34.6%), followed by other psychiatric disorders (12.3%) and mood disorders accompanied by another psychiatric disorder (6.7%) (Table 2). The majority of euthanasia cases concerned women, with percentages ranging from 58.1% in dementia to 77.1% in mood disorders. Of all the reported euthanasia cases with a mood disorder diagnosis, 38.6% concerned people aged 80 or older. The majority of reported cases concerned people less than 60 years old for mood disorders accompanied by another psychiatric disorder (83.3%) and for other psychiatric disorders (86.4%). Euthanasia most often occurred at home for those diagnosed with other psychiatric disorders (59.1%), mood disorders accompanied by another psychiatric disorder (58.3%), mood disorders (51.8%) and dementia (46.8%). Patients were expected to die in the foreseeable future in 27.4% of those with dementia, 18.2% with another psychiatric disorder, and 8.4% diagnosed with a mood disorder. Physicians most often reported unbearable psychological suffering only for euthanasia cases with mood disorders accompanied by another psychiatric disorder (83.3%), other psychiatric disorders (77.3%) and mood disorders (72.3%). The second physician consulted about the request was most often a general practitioner in cases of mood disorder (68.7%), dementia (64.5%), and other psychiatric disorder (59.1%).

If Canada is to be blamed for much of the evil in the English Speaking World (and by that I mean the Liberals) then it is worthwhile looking to where they get their ideas: from the francophone Europeans, wedded to the EU, globalism, and the progressive agenda. This matters. Canada has legalized euthanasia, and we have a bill in our parliament. But the slope exists.

We need to remove ourselves from such. I no longer support ACT because of this. It is time to make Burgundy great again. Belgium needs to be divided between the Dutch and the French. It no longer has any utility. If this discomforts the EU, that is a bonus.

And the politicians who see life of others as less than useful and something to be expunged need to be removed from our prescence.
