Canadian soldier suffering with PTSD offered euthanasia by Veterans Affairs


Medical assistance in dying, or euthanasia, was legalized in Canada in 2016

A Canadian armed forces veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and a traumatic brain injury was offered medical assistance in dying by an employee of Veterans Affairs Canada.

The VAC released a statement last week admitting to an incident "where medical assistance in dying was discussed inappropriately" with the veteran. The department pledged that "appropriate administrative action will be taken" after the veteran expressed outrage at the suggestion, according to a report in Global News.

Probably some guy/gal reviewing the list of ailments/troubles commented offhandedly that "If I had to deal with all of those problems I would kill myself".

I don’t disagree with this solution. If I had a broke brain, to the point where I’m dysfunctional, euthanasia would be an attractive alternative.

A broke body and a sound mind will make some ask for the end.

My dad was ready when he told me three things he couldn't do any longer.
Play golf
Hold his tools in his hands and protect my mother any longer.
Within a few weeks he told me to get that dr jacks box of drugs out of the refrigerator that hospice had brought.
