(PCC)A painful subject that must be addressed is the issue of ‘judicially approved self-murder.’ The war on the young has just expanded. Canada has joined a growing number of nations offering euthanasia as a practical form of treatment for mental disorders.

Ask yourself an honest question: Is this age-driven genocide? What chance does the youth have in modern society? Young people are targeted by abortion, which results in the killing of unborn children. Young people are vulnerable to misleading social counseling regarding sex changes, as many countries allow these procedures with no minimum age, permitting transitions for individuals as young as 14 years old. Then add the social pressure of drugs and intoxicants. This figure excludes deaths through military service, 350,000 just in the Russian/Ukrainian war, and still counting.

Let’s face it, ‘euthanasia is nothing more than ‘judicially approved self-murder’ and has become quite commonplace.

Where are the churches on this issue? Are they preaching life and how the great “I AM’ can help those suffering from mental issues rely on a higher source? Is Satan tirelessly working to take the lives of as many children as possible, with the aim of preventing them from fulfilling the will of G*d?   The clergy has strangely become silent when they should be proclaiming ‘LIFE’ from the rooftops.

What prospects do young people have in today’s world?

The Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) legislation in Canada has consistently been the subject of contentious debate. Beginning as a policy aimed at providing end-of-life relief for terminally ill adults, it has steadily expanded in scope, raising alarm among citizens, ethicists, mental health professionals, and parents alike. Most recently, controversy has reignited following reports that Canadian government committees are recommending further expansion of MAID to include “mature minors,” even potentially without parental consent.

This development has led to powerful public backlash, with many seeing it not only as a moral crisis but also as a sign of a healthcare system in distress.

What MAID is and who qualifies still need to be defined. MAID was legalized in Canada in 2016 and initially applied only to competent adults suffering from a “grievous and irremediable medical condition.” In 2021, there was a notable extension of eligibility to include individuals whose natural death is not “reasonably foreseeable.” A further expansion set for 2027 will allow those suffering solely from mental illness to qualify.

Critics argue that this trajectory reflects a shift from compassionate relief to the dangerous normalization of state-assisted death, especially when it is applied to young people struggling with mental health issues.

The latest point of contention stems from a parliamentary committee recommendation that “mature minors,” youth under 18 deemed capable of making informed medical decisions, be allowed to request MAID. The term has legal precedent in Canada, where minors can already make certain healthcare decisions without parental approval in some provinces.

A flyer spotted in Manitoba and shared widely on social media by commentator Jasmin Laine warns that this policy could ultimately result in teens being offered euthanasia rather than treatment, particularly if they are dealing with depression, anxiety, or suicidal ideation, but it fails to address the issue if the depression is due to illegal drugs, medically prescribed drugs, or as the result of a sex change.

“Imagine walking into a clinic for help and being told the world would be better off without you,” Laine wrote on X, underscoring concerns that vulnerable youth may internalize despair as justification for death rather than an urgent signal to seek care.

Laine’s personal experience with suicide and recovery lends emotional weight to her criticism. Her post was widely shared and ignited further debate around what constitutes compassionate care versus institutional abandonment.

The flyers further intensify the debate by highlighting a deeply troubling contradiction in Canada’s healthcare system: the wait times for mental health support often surpass those for MAID.

“One in 10 people will wait more than four months for counseling,” the flyer states. “The waiting period for MAID is only three months.”

The situation raises difficult ethical questions. If the system is failing to offer timely, accessible mental health care, is euthanasia truly a “choice”?

Is euthanasia genuinely a “choice” or is it a desperate cry made by a saddened life?

Organizations like Dying With Dignity Canada support expanding MAID to mature minors, pointing to data like a 2023 Ipsos poll that found that 71% of Canadians favor this option under strict guidelines.

Still, opposition is growing. Critics fear a slippery slope, warning that the policy opens the door to coercion, misdiagnosis, or premature decisions by minors who lack the life experience or mental clarity to make irreversible choices.

Many also argue that allowing minors to access MAID without parental consent undermines the very idea of family, responsibility, and protection, the cornerstones of any humane society, but in reality it is age-driven genocide at a wholesale level and nothing more than judicially approved self-murder.

Canada finds itself at a pivotal point. On one hand, it seeks to honor autonomy and relieve suffering; on the other, it risks institutionalizing despair as a medically sanctioned exit.

The mature minor proposal is not yet law, but its discussion signals a dramatic cultural shift in how we view life, suffering, and personal agency. If Canada moves forward with such policies, it must reckon with a crucial question: Are we expanding choice or abdicating our duty to care?

The United States is not without the end-of-life issue, offering some type of assisted suicide in these states: Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado, Vermont, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Montana.
