Disabled Canadian Army veteran Paralympian blasts government for offering to EUTHANIZE her when she complained about how long it was taking to install stairlift at her home
…The expansion of Canada’s euthanasia laws, already among the most permissive on the planet, has raised concerns from some quarters.
One doctor told DailyMail.com that he is worried about the expansion, as it will turn suicide into a standard treatment for mental health conditions with little oversight or guidelines.
Dr Trudo Lemmens, University of Toronto professor of health law and policy, told DailyMail.com that the system might create an ‘obligation to introduce [suicide] as a part of’ mental health treatment.
‘Imagine that being applied in the context of mental health. You have a person suffering severe depression, seeks help from a therapist and is offered the solution of dying,’ he continued.
