Euthanasia in New York

As goes Canada, so will follow the USA under Democrat rule. Government-sanctioned euthanasia demonstrates Canadian moonbattery at its most alarming. Last year it killed 16,499 Canadians, presumably mostly useless eaters. Death by chemical drowning may be offered in Canada as therapy for such ills as poverty, mental illness, and needing a wheelchair lift. Across the Niagara River, deep blue New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul hurries along behind.

The New York Post reports:

Hochul announced Wednesday she’ll sign a controversial doctor-assisted suicide bill

Many religious leaders and disability advocates quickly condemned Hochul’s decision to approve the Medical Aid in Dying Act, while the governor cast it as civil rights issue on par with gay marriage.

In terms of long-term destructiveness, Hochul’s comparison is apt.

Her spin reads like black comedy:

“The Medical Aid in Dying Act will afford terminally ill New Yorkers the right to spend their final days not under sterile hospital lights but with sunlight streaming through their bedroom window,” Hochul wrote in a Times Union op-ed outlining her decision.

“The right to spend their final days not hearing the droning hum of hospital machines but instead the laughter of their grandkids echoing in the next room.”

Sounds delightful.

As for actual consequences,

When enacted, the law will put oversight of literal life-and-death decisions under the state’s Department of Health – an agency that presided over a scandal-plagued Medicaid homecare program and went along with former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s disastrous COVID nursing home order.

The Democrat Cuomo Administration killed thousands of nursing home residents by exposing them to Covid. These are not people you want in charge of whether you live or die.

On a tip from Wiggins.
