Canada's rapidly growing MAID program, Medical Assistance in Dying, is getting out of hand.
Now a funeral home in Canada has found a clever way to make money.
Yes, for the low low price of $700, you can have yourself killed right inside the funeral home in one of the showrooms. You no longer have to have a doctor murder you in a cold, sterile hospital room. You can have yourself killed right in the funeral home and save the hearse a trip!
The package, which is being described as "turnkey" comes as a growing number of Quebec citizens are choosing Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), the country's term for legalized euthanasia and assisted suicide. The province saw 63 MAiD deaths in 2015-2016 and a staggering 3663 in 2021-2022.
"We were a little cautious at the start, because it may seem opportunistic for a funeral home, but honestly, our approach to customers is always done in a state of benevolence," a company counselor told LaPresse.
Oh no, how in the world would anyone see it as poor taste for a funeral home to offer you an opportunity to kill yourself on-site and then perform your funeral?
Nothing opportunistic about that at all!
Canada is looking into this, not because they oppose assisted suicide in any way, but because they don't know if they should allow funeral homes to capitalize on it in such an egregious manner.
But the rate of increase in euthanasia is demanding more options for those who wish to commit suicide.
Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA) Canada Executive Director Mike Schouten told True North that he isn't surprised by the current trajectory.
"As safeguards continue to be relaxed, and as euthanasia is offered as an easy and normalized solution to suffering, it is tragic but unsurprising that others desire to profit, including funeral homes," he said.
"In only seven years Canada has secured one of the most expansive euthanasia and assisted suicide regimes in the entire world. Canadians must continue to advocate for helping others to live well, rather than further normalizing assisted death."
This is the culture of death. And it's coming to a city near you.
