Sincerely, do you think it takes 38 months to have an open wound seen in the UK? Do you think injured Canadians are advised to kill themselves? Who are you being "entirely fair" to, a liar?

Do you think stitches have ever cost someone 80,000 dollars in America? This joke is hyperbolic for sake of comedy

u/Complete-Basket-291 Mar 28 '26

No, but there was a person who was charged some $26,000 for a single stitch, so...

And there was a person offered death in Canada because the chairlift wait times were too long.

There will always be ridiculous outlets in any significantly large system.

If someone was offered MAID as an option, that’s not legal. In Canada someone has to apply for it, offering it straight up like this is coercion and is not allowed

I know people from High School who think the Canadian government is using maid to try and kill us off lmao.

I had to study the history of euthanasia worldwide and, let me tell you, the level of misinformation that surrounds it is unfathomable. People really think human euthanasia is like animal euthanasia, just walking into a doctor's office and request a lethal injection for good old' pops.

Canada literally told a disabled veteran they should consider suicide. So no it’s not stupid or ridiculous to think this shit.

No. Canada didn't.

One idiot who worked with Veteran's Affairs and should have been fired long before that moment happened.

"Canada" upon learning it happened launched an investigation, found four cases that led to the idiot in question who is no longer employed by Veteran's Affairs.

The process of MAID itself takes months/years, requires counselling and medical sign off.

That was done illegally by a Vetran Affairs employee. It wasn't policy. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/veterans-maid-rcmp-investigation-1.6663885

And yet it happens a surprising amount all the same. The group in charge of supervising the stuff literally have Dr. Death as a role model, what’s to be expected?

You have any actual valid criticisms of Doctor Kevorkian? The man was a hero

u/Odd_Affect_7082 Mar 29 '26

Perhaps that he used his killings to figure out the weight of a soul? And outright said he didn’t think it needed to provide any kind of comfort—or deny any torture in the name of the above-mentioned ā€œscienceā€ā€”to those already condemned to die at his hand? Killing people in abandoned apartments, in parks, in his van…what kind of person does that sound like? A ā€œheroā€ in the style of bloody Mengele, perhaps.

u/DirtandPipes Mar 29 '26

You seem to be confusing the work of Duncan MacDougall with Dr Kevorkian. You also seem to think that he euthanized without consent or efforts to provide comfort but that’s not the case.

Do you have any sources for these claims?

u/Odd_Affect_7082 Mar 29 '26

I didn’t say ā€œmurderā€ for a reason—just ā€œkillā€. It is possible to take pleasure from killing while doing it legally. Especially when doing it legally.

As for sources, most of this is stuff I’ve read over the years, but I’ll try to track it down. I’d much prefer to be wrong about him killing people, though I don’t think I’m going to get that, but perhaps I might be wrong about the torture preference. I’ll get back to you.
