SUICIDE PREVENTION OR ASSISTED SUICIDE

In October of 2012, Canada's Parliament gave UNANIMOUS support to a national suicide prevention strategy. The next month BC supreme court "Justice" Lynn Smith ruled in favour of  assisted suicide for an incurably ill woman. Now Quebec is about to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide. They euphemistically call it "medical aid in dying." 

 So which one is it? Suicide prevention or assisted suicide? Euthanasia proponents will respond "Both"! Healthy people get suicide prevention while sick and disabled people get assisted suicide.

That's the bad news. The good news is that assisted suicide clinics in Quebec will be fully wheelchair accessible.

    Hello Mark. Are you related to the late Dr. Harold Jackson Pickup? Jack delivered three of our four sons. More later, if your reply is yes.
