Dystopian reality: Canadians make euthanasia requests to escape poverty

THE Canada may be one of the first countries to allow assisted living euthanasia in some cases, however, the new relaxation of laws passed leaves open the possibility of becoming a solution for the poor to find a way out of poverty and impoverishment.

In accordance with telesurenglish.net, some people who fall into the category of assisted euthanasia choose it as a solution because they are financially impoverished. Case in point, a woman in Ontario opted for euthanasia because housing benefits wouldn’t allow her to get a home to live in and avoid crippling allergies. “The government sees me as expendable, whiny, useless, scum,” said this woman, who left letters as evidence of a desperate search for government help for more than two years.

Reactions to the turn things are reportedly taking are many, with the Canadian Mental Health Association expressing its deep disappointment with this government approach.

“Until the health care system adequately responds to the mental health needs of Canadians, assisted dying should not be an option,” he said in a statement.
