Euthanasia

Euthanasia Advocacy Group Makes Bank Pushing Suicides in Canada

pgnewser February 17, 2026

The euthanasia advocacy group “Dying with Dignity” is apparently making millions hawking suicide to Canadians, suicide that has already seen the mentally ill and the medically neglected counted among their victims. In 2024 alone, Dying with Dignity had $9 million in tax free assets. The latest figures haven’t been released yet, but in Canada, suicide advocacy groups are treated like religious groups in America. The profit for pushing death is high.

“Dying With Dignity” Makes Millions From Canada Euthanizing Patients – lifenews.com

There is a basic ethical rule we apply almost everywhere else in society, almost. If you profit from an outcome, you should not be the loudest voice advocating for it, but I guess Dying with Dignity didn’t get the morality memo.

Medicine used to understand this instinctively.

Doctors are not supposed to financially benefit from prescribing a particular drug. Judges are expected to recuse themselves if they have a stake in a case. Regulators are scrutinized when they take money from the industries they oversee. We understand or at least normal people understand intuitively — that money distorts judgment.

Except, apparently, when it comes to death.

… For instance, take Zoraya ter Beek, a 29-year-old, who, in 2024, ended her life via doctor-assisted suicide in the Netherlands. According to The Guardian, she did so on the “grounds of unbearable mental suffering.”

Such deaths are permitted if a patient has “unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement.” Another such individual is Aurelia Brouwers, a young woman who died in a starkly similar way.

“I’m 29 years old and I’ve chosen to be voluntarily euthanized,” Brouwers said before her death. “I’ve chosen this because I have a lot of mental health issues. I suffer unbearably and hopelessly. Every breath I take is torture.”

These cases are heartbreaking and prove that the slippery-slope alarms sounding for far too long should have been heeded, but, tragically, they have been ignored. And, unfortunately, the chaos doesn’t come from only these mental health loopholes.

Canada’s medical assistance in dying program, (MAID) already one of the world’s most permissive euthanasia regimes, may soon extend to disabled newborns.

That possibility is reigniting horror among pro-life advocates who warn of a slippery slope toward eugenics.

The Quebec College of Physicians recently told the British newspaper Daily Mail that it believes “medical assistance in dying may be an appropriate treatment for babies suffering from extreme pain” and that “parents should have the opportunity to obtain this care for their infant,” according to an article by Anna Farrow published in the Western Standard.

Canadian Government Euthanizes Disabled Man Because He’s ‘Lonely’– slaynews.com

The Canadian government-run euthanasia system has crossed another chilling threshold after Canada’s socialized healthcare system euthanized a disabled man because he was experiencing “loneliness.”

A disabled man in his 60s was put to death under Canada’s expanding Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) regime after citing loneliness and social isolation as the primary reasons for wanting to die.

The alarming case was revealed in a 2025 report from Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee (OMDRC).

The man, identified only as Mr. B, lived with cerebral palsy and used a wheelchair.

The story of the Canadian woman, known as Mrs. B, who was killed by euthanasia after her spouse experienced care-giver distress, even though she had requested palliative care, has been reported by several media reports.

To provide greater context I went to the original MDRC committee report of the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario titled: Navigating Complex Issues within Same Day and Next Day MAiD Provisions. This was the MDRC 2024 – Fourth report.

When examining Same Day or Next Day euthanasia provisions the MDRC report states:

A small proportion (4.8%) of all Track 1 MAiD deaths occurred on the same day or next day of a request for MAiD. In 2023, 65 MAiD provisions (1.4% of Track 1 MAiD deaths) occurred on the same day of a request and 154 MAiD provisions (3.4% of Track 1 MAiD deaths) occurred on the next day of a request.

In case you aren’t familiar, Canada has a federal program called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). Here’s more about it:

Medical assistance in dying (MAID) is a process that allows someone who is found eligible to be able to receive assistance from a medical practitioner in ending their life. The federal Criminal Code of Canada permits this to take place only under very specific circumstances and rules. Anyone requesting this service must meet specific eligibility criteria to receive medical assistance in dying. Any medical practitioner who administers an assisted death to someone must satisfy certain safeguards first.

Only medical practitioners are permitted to conduct assessments and to provide medical assistance in dying. This can be a physician or a nurse practitioner, where provinces and territories allow.

Over the Christmas break some of you might have heard that on December 30, 2025, Kiano Vafaeian was euthanized in Vancouver after being approved by Dr. Ellen Wiebe, a physician who has ended over 400 lives through Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program.

Kiano suffered from diabetes, had lost vision in his left eye, and struggled with depression. His mother, Margaret Marsilla, had successfully stopped his first assisted suicide attempt back in 2022 through a public petition campaign. But this time, she couldn’t save him.

“No compassion. No protection. No effort to save a life, only to end it,” Marsilla wrote.

Despite Canada’s ban on MAID for mental illness until 2027, Dr. Wiebe did find a loophole in the system. Kiano was approved for death — not treatment, not therapy, not help, but death.

Canada’s government-run euthanasia program increased its death toll again last year, taking more than 16,000 lives, and placing medically assisted suicide as the fourth leading cause of death in the country.

According to an annual report published by the Canadian government, 16,499 people were killed through the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program in 2024, increasing 6.9 percent from the previous year. Close to 75 percent of the 22,535 people who applied for the program were approved.

The report authors stated that the number of deaths is possibly stabilizing, while admitting that “long-term trends” have not yet been identified. Based on 2023 numbers, an estimated 1 in 20 deaths are government-directed.

Canada’s healthcare crisis has entered a new and disturbing phase as the Liberal government funnels a billion dollars to fund care in foreign nations while Canadians at home are being euthanized because they cannot get the treatment they need to survive.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s latest move, pledging over a billion Canadian dollars to fund healthcare overseas, has become the tipping point for many who have watched Canada’s single-payer system crumble for years.

The announcement landed as the country continues to face a wave of avoidable deaths, including cases where desperate citizens are offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) instead of the care they were promised.

 

Canada Wants Moloch to have a Doctor’s License

Canada is now moving to add children to the growing list of people who can be “eligible” for “medically assisted in dying” suicide (MAID). So far, being poor, being disabled, being chronically ill, being depressed, suffering for autism, suffering from PTSD (even if you’re a veteran) qualifies you for MAID. Now, euthanasia advocates are moving their demands from MAID for the adult terminally ill only to “let’s not let age be a limit.”

Dying with Dignity in Canada is lobbying for minors determined to be “mature minors” being made eligible for suicide suggestion by their “doctors.” They are willing to allow children under the age of 15 to kill themselves with parental consent, but once they turn 16 they won’t need their parents’ consent. The push is gaining support in the Liberal-led Parliament.

Blurb:

Canada is once again facing outrage over its rapidly expanding euthanasia regime, as powerful advocacy groups are now pressuring the federal government to open the door to euthanizing children.

The move comes even as Canada already runs one of the most permissive “assisted suicide” systems on the planet.

The Canadian government no longer requires a terminal illness to euthanize citizens, and that has increasingly targeted society’s most vulnerable.

The poor, the disabled, the chronically ill, people suffering from depression and autism, and even veterans seeking help for PTSD, are all being euthanized by the Liberal government.

Now, activists want to take it even further.

Under current law, adults can apply for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) even if they are not dying, so long as they have a chronic illness, a disability, or they are experiencing “suffering.”

Canada’s spiraling euthanasia system is once again under fire as heartbreaking new accounts reveal that a surging number of patients are being forced into “choosing” the government’s “assisted suicide” death program after being denied actual medical care under the nation’s collapsing socialized healthcare model.

As Slay News has previously reported, the government’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program is now saving tens of millions of dollars a year.

In 2024, the government saved over $136 million by euthanizing patients instead of treating them.

Suicide is Being Pushed on Ailing Canadians?

Dr. Ramona Coelho, a committee member on Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee, is accusing doctors of pushing patients aggressively towards suicide in increasingly questionable situations. She accused the institution itself of “rushing to death” through quick approvals to Canadia’s euthanasia program, called MAiD (Medical Aid in Dying).

She said, “These cases highlight how vulnerable individuals, having lost the capacity to consent, may be coerced or unduly influenced to die — whether through financial abuse, caregiver burnout, or other pressures — reminding us that the stakes are high — life and death, no less.”

Canada is “rushing to death” through quick approvals for its euthanasia program Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD), according to a member of Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee.

Dr. Ramona Coehlo, a committee member and a family physician, made the warning after the committee released two reports, “Waivers of Final Consent,” and “Navigating Complex Issues within Same Day and Next Day MAiD Provisions,” that share case studies of people who have died by euthanasia through the MAiD regime….

One of the cases is of a woman in her 80s, “Mrs. B,” who was receiving palliative care after surgery complications. She underwent a MAiD assessment because she reportedly requested it, but the first MAiD assessor did not end up “prescribing” euthanasia because Mrs. B later said she wanted to withdraw that request.

The next day, her spouse, experiencing caregiver burnout, brought her to the emergency room while she was in stable condition. She was discharged again.

Old Video Shows Gates Openly Calling for Death Panels to Deal with Rising Cost of Dying

Bill Gates Calls for ‘Death Panels’ to Euthanize Citizens Not ‘Worthy of Healthcare’– slaynews.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

As nations around the world push to introduce and expand liberal euthanasia laws, the plans are sounding eerily similar to the “assisted suicide” agenda billionaire Bill Gates has been promoting for several years.

The Microsoft co-founder argues that it is not cost-effective to provide individuals with long-term healthcare.

Instead, Gates believes his fellow human beings should be euthanized to reduce healthcare costs so that the money that would have been used for treatments can be spent elsewhere.

In 2010, Gates weighed up the cost of keeping “terminally ill” Americans alive versus paying for teachers’ salaries.

Gates lamented that Americans are unwilling to question if spending money on people in “the last three months” of their lives was cost-effective.

He suggested there wasn’t a benefit in end-of-life care and a decision should be made to end people’s lives instead of providing costly palliative care.

He argued that a panel of bureaucrats should decide whether a person deserves to receive treatment, with those who are not “worthy of healthcare” being euthanized by the government to save money.

“That’s called the ‘death panel’,” he said of the group who would decide whether people get to live or die.

Gates made the remarks during an interview at an Aspen Ideas Festival in 2010.

Harvest Organs From Euthanasia Victims Before Death– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

Canadian doctors have suggested killing euthanasia victims by taking their organs, according to multiple reports, whistleblowers, and public talks. Medical freedom advocates are documenting emerging ties between “medical assistance in dying” (MAID) and organ harvesting.

“The best use of my organs, if I’m going to receive a medically assisted death, might be to not first kill me and then retrieve my organs, but to have my mode of death — as we medically consider death now — to be to retrieve my organs,” said Rob Sibbald, an ethicist of the London Health Sciences Centre in Ontario.

Sibbald spoke on “Threats to the Concept of Brain Death: Ethical Reflections” at the Critical Care Canada Forum in November 2018. The event was sponsored by Canadian Blood Services, a tissue and organ donation group; the Trillium Gift of Life Network, which is “responsible for delivering and coordinating organ and tissue donation and transplantation across the province” of Ontario; and the Canadian Donation and Transplantation Research Program, which hopes to “increase the availability of transplants.”

Other Canadian doctors have publicly embraced “death by donation,” and a study came out earlier this year exploring euthanasia programs such as MAID as a means of organ harvesting. Canada legalized euthanasia in 2016, and since then the number of Canadians using MAID to kill themselves has significantly increased.

(Euthanasia Prevention Coalition) — On February 6, 2024, after obtaining the euthanasia data from Alberta, Ontario, and Québec, the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition published an article stating that there were approximately 15,300 euthanasia (MAiD) deaths in Canada in 2023.

On July 8, 2024 we published an article with links to the euthanasia data from Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Québec. We again predicted that there were about 15,300 euthanasia deaths in 2023.

On December 11, 2024, Canada’s Ministry of Health released the Fifth Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying which indicates that there were 15,343 reported euthanasia deaths representing 4.7 percent of all deaths in 2023.

Why did Canada’s Ministry of Health wait until December 2024 to release the 2023 euthanasia data when the report essentially concerns numbers and data while lacking information on the actual reason for people wanting to be killed by euthanasia?

Interesting data in the report:

  • Of the 15,343 reported euthanasia deaths: 95.9 percent were Track 1 deaths (the person was deemed to have a terminal condition); 4.1 percent were Track 2 deaths (the person was deemed as not having a terminal condition).
  • People with disabilities accounted for 33.5 percent of the Track 1 euthanasia deaths and 58.3 percent of the Track 2 euthanasia deaths. In 2022, 27 percent of Canadians were people with one or more disabilities. People with disabilities are over-represented in Canada’s euthanasia statistics.
  • 95.8 percent of those who died by euthanasia were Caucasian (White) while fewer than 1 percent were First Nations people. In 2022, 69.8 percent of Canadians euthanized were Caucasian and 5 percent were First Nations people.
