IN the NEWS - Matthew 24:12 & Canada's MAID

...the love of many shall wax cold. Matthew 24:12

"In 2016, Canada legalized Medical Assistance in Dying also known as MAID. The terminology is, of course, a euphemism for euthanasia. To be eligible for MAID, persons must be at least 18-years-old and have a "grievous and irremediable" condition.


Like all such death-devoted legislation, terms like "grievous and irremediable" are moving targets.

......an article in "The Journal of Medical Ethics," written by three Canadian doctors, which makes the case for extending MAID to minors. Children.

As Wesley J. Smith notes in National Review, the goal of these doctors is to "normalize" euthanizing children and "reduce the stigma" by calling the killing "a procedure."

Accordingly, the authors emphasized the need to hide the identities of those killing children from the public. And, they argued against requiring parental permission—or even parental notification if it were against the child's wishes."
