#childeuthanasia — Public Fediverse posts

#Canada plans to expand eligibility of #MedicalAssistanceInDying to include all mental illnesses as well as children next year.

Over 10,000 disabled people were euthanised through #MAiD in 2021 alone. https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/medical-assistance-dying/annual-report-2021.html#a3.1

While Canada refuses to record a MAiD death as #euthanasia, instead recording it as a death from the underlying condition (eg, “hearing loss”), if it did it would make MAiD the 7th-leading cause of death in the country, accounting for 3.3% of all deaths: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1310080101

Disabled Canadians are screaming that they are being genocided, the evidence and despair is overwhelming: https://globalnews.ca/news/9176485/poverty-canadians-disabilities-medically-assisted-death/

In #Belgium, doctors euthanised #NathanVerhelst, a 44-year-old trans man, after his gender affirming surgeries went poorly & he was rejected by his family. The same doctor previously euthanised deaf twins afraid they wouldn’t be able to talk with each other: https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.independent.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fworld%2Feurope%2Fbelgian-man-dies-by-euthanasia-after-failed-sex-change-operation-8851872.html

Belgium has since become the first country to allow #ChildEuthanasia of *any* age: https://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/17/health/belgium-minor-euthanasia/index.html

#Colombia allows children as young as 7 to make the decision to be euthanised: https://latinamericanpost.com/20090-colombia-has-regulated-euthanasia-for-children-and-adolescents

While the #Netherlands considers children 13 and older able to consent to #euthanasia, the Dutch government is advancing legislation to allow children from 1-12 years old to be allowed to choose to die: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54538288
