"... Anyone who ever thought that the compassionate response to extreme human suffering is a society that helps people find permanent release from their pain may want to look at some of the horror stories coming out of Canada recently. ... Last year, more than 10,000 people in Canada – astonishingly that's over three percent of all deaths there - ended their lives via euthanasia, an increase of a third on the previous year. And it's likely to keep rising: next year, Canada is set to allow people to die exclusively for mental health reasons. ..."

"Allow" is not quite the right word. Even "cajole" is too mild. Somewhere between "push" and "force" would be more accurate. Article gives on to give example after example.

Euthanasia is a logical and planned way of keeping health care costs down, the government is pushing it hard.

"... A 2017 Canadian study suggested medically-assisted dying could reduce health care spending in the country by as much as $137 million a year. ..."

"... Doctors and human rights campaigners say Canada's easy-come, easy-go euthanasia laws are particularly dangerous for disabled people who are being 'devalued' as a result. ..."

Gee, ya think?
