I met an 84-year-old woman who was offered euthanasia at a Canadian hospital practically upon arrival. Miriam didn’t want to die. She recovered well and travelled to Cuba, Mexico, and Guatemala. Stop offering death to people who have adventures to lead!

This is my beautiful grandmother who had dementia for as long as I knew her. The Government of Canada is now exploring killing persons with dementia who have lost the capacity to consent. That's not autonomy; it's annihilation.

Roger Foley, a Canadian man with disabilities, says he's been offered euthanasia "multiple times." Listen to him speak out against being devalued as he fights for the support he needs to live.

Let Canada's euthanasia experiment be a warning to the UK. • Euthanasia will not be limited. • Euthanasia will undermine suicide prevention efforts. • Euthanasia will devalue the lives of people with disabilities. • Euthanasia will threaten the doctor-patient relationship.

To call euthanasia "death with dignity" is actually to suggest that dying naturally is "undignified." Stop the death shaming.

Uber driver: "Heading to work? What do you do?" Me: "I'm organizing an event to prevent euthanasia and encourage hope." Uber driver: "My dad actually had MAID. It hasn't even been a year. I supported it since that's what he wanted and he was terminal. But let me tell you: it's

See what inspired Christine, a Canadian woman in her 80s, to get a tattoo that says, "Don't euthanize me." Here's her story:

Being offered euthanasia instead of treatment is worse than cancer.

In this building, the Nazis euthanized 15,000 people from 1940-1941. That's the same number of Canadians who were euthanized in 2023.

In 1941, a Nazi made this table showing how much money the gov. would save by preventing persons w/ disabilities from living ten years longer. In 2020, the Parliamentary Budget Officer in Canada released a table of the "reduction in healthcare costs" through euthanasia. #cdnpoli
