Fair point.

I actually did some basic research after I visited.

You'll note I didn't say Muslims would be a majority population in 30 years, but I believe they will be running the country.

Canadians have embraced plurality.

Good luck.

So, if you took a New York City trip and walked around for a few days, one of your big impressions would be "Damn! The Muslims have taken over."

In 2024, Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) saw 16,499 deaths (5.1% of total deaths), with a median recipient age of roughly 78 years. Most patients are over 75, often dealing with cancer, with "Track 1" (foreseeable death) recipients being older than "Track 2" (non-foreseeable) recipients, who are slightly younger

However, you don't make it easier for them to end their own lives by having it provided for by the government.

Because 78 year olds deciding they are tired of being sick or dying and they are ready to get it over with affects you personally in some way more than it affects them?

In Switzerland a company made a pod where they put you and pump it full of nitrogen gas to induce hypoxia.

That was considered inhumane, and several people were arrested.

Seems like CO2 would be a better option in that case so the people drift off peacefully and never wake up.




What a bunch of morons.

Dying from Nitrogen gas is painful and stressful on the mind. When the nitrogen displaces all of the oxygen in your lungs, your mind panics b/c it knows you need O2 and when it's not there it's as if your body is frantically searching for it, leaving you gasping for air as you frantically die. I would imagine it's a similar feeling to drowning.

As you said, CO2 makes people just fall asleep and die peacefully.


In the industry I was involved with in the past, we were trying to convey this message to chicken and pig farms b/c some of them were using N2 to kill the animals and we were trying to inform them that this is a painful death for the animals and CO2 would be a much more humane way to do this.
I can't believe there were doctors dumb enough to do this to humans.

Just go shoot up a bunch of meth and at least have fun on the way out
meth is for tweakers. Fentanyl gives you a nice easy ride out of town. It’s patently absurd that it’s against the law to choose your own exit

It is straight up murder. Don't let anyone tell you different.

And worse, it's murder because the government can't or won't pay for long term healthcare for its citizens.

We’ve had to euthanize a number of dogs over the years and it’s a pretty peaceful process. They put them to sleep and then they stop their heart.

I’m not going to lie, I have given thought to this topic before and I’m not 100% opposed to people having this choice available.

I know it’s impossible to say where you draw the moral line, but for the obvious cases, I’m ok with it as a humane option.


You do realize this is the exact same process state governments used to execute death row inmate by lethal injection, right? The cocktail consists of drugs to put the inmate to sleep and then stop their heart.

Well, they better start hustling!


Is this growth of a race of people or a religion?
Are the Muslims popping out more kids, or are the Canadians converting religion?

If I can't wipe my own arse, I would hope someone loves me enough to inject me with that poison.

Sounds pretty humane. I’m not sure that I follow your point.

When the states do it to execute an inmate, one of the arguments against it in court is that it’s painful and tortuous to execute a human being in this manner. It’s an 8th amendment violation as cruel and unusual punishment.

So it’s humane in Canada but not in the USA?

If someone wants to go out on their own terms and are of adult age, whose business is it? While it’s sad someone reaches that point, if it is going peacefully on my terms vs a painful, terminal disease, it’s my choice. We euthanize our pets bc of same reasons … for dignity and to not suffer. And healthy animals in droves bc of human irresponsibility.

Having to deal with my 86 year-old mom in a nursing home has really got me thinking about this entire situation. Dementia, incontinence, lack of mobility. It’s terrible seeing a loved one that way.
