Last October, the Canadian Paediatric Society published “Medical Assistance in Dying: A Paediatric Perspective”, in order to influence the Canadian government to allow euthanasia for children.
This April, Ontario’s government-funded conference on child healthcare will have a session called “Developing a policy on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) for Paediatric Patients”.
After the meeting, there will be a Wine and Cheese party.
Medicine is for caring, not killing, and there is a difference. It is terrifying that so many health care leaders can have a perspective about euthanasia that is so distant from the perspective of most parents and children.
And a Wine and Cheese party? This is absurd.
Today’s word is “absurd”. Absurd means wildly illogical or inappropriate.
For example: “It’s absurd to let crazy people play with knives.”
Or, “Discussing how to kill children and then eating wine and cheese is absurd.”
