At Least 60 People with Eating Disorders Euthanized or Assisted in Suicide since 2012

Published by skeptic

This article is reprinted from National Review with the permission of the author . “Strict guidelines protect against abuse” my left nostril. A very disturbing — but, alas, unsurprising — report has been published from a review of medical studies that demonstrates that at least 60, but almost surely more, people with eating disorders (EDs) have been euthanized or assisted in suicide between 2012 and 2024. From the long, meticulously researched and thoroughly detailed study published by Frontiers in Psychiatry (citations omitted): We identified 10 peer-reviewed articles and 20 government reports describing at least 60 patients with EDs who underwent assisted dying between 2012 and 2024 (Table 4). Note that this figure does not represent the total number of patients with EDs who have undergone assisted dying in countries where it is legal. It represents only those which were identifiable via the limited data available in public reports. This includes at least three patients from the U.S.: One case study has been published in the United States (2), which described three patients, two of whom were prescribed MAiD. …

Canadian Death Doctor Has Euthanized Hundreds of Patients

This article is reprinted from National Review with the permission of the author . Legalizing euthanasia corrupts everything — the ethics of medicine, the public’s perception of people experiencing illness, disability, or elder frailty, the media that continually swoon over medics who kill. This latter phenomenon is on vivid display in a National Post story profiling a doctor who spends half her time legally killing patients by lethal injection, and most of the rest legally killing fetuses. In “This Kindly MAID Doctor Helped More Than 400 People Die: How Many Assisted Deaths are Too Many?” we learn that Dr. Ellen Wiebe loves her work: For Wiebe, medical assistance in dying (MAID) is “incredibly rewarding” work. She hasn’t faced nearly the same sort of stigma she once faced as an abortion provider and says that while she and her MAID colleagues “all work within the law,” she’s also not as “conservative” as some. . . . Most recently, Wiebe was featured in the BBC documentary, Better off Dead?, an exploration of the assisted suicide debate by British actor and comedian Liz …

Coyote that officials think bit 3 kids at Texas park will be euthanized

Published by skeptic

A coyote that Texas officials think bit three children at a park is set to be “humanely euthanized,” leaders in Arlington said Thursday. Arlington Animal Services captured the coyote Thursday morning after the bites at Parkway Central Park in north Arlington, a city between Dallas and Fort Worth. The animal will be tested for rabies at the Texas Health and Human Services in Austin, the city said on X. An animal control officer and a police officer were at the park because of “aggressive coyote activity at the park” when they captured the animal, according to the city. The officers said they saw the coyote on a road near the park before it charged at them, the city said in a statement. “This animal was completely unusual because … it started walking toward me. I’ve never seen a coyote do that,” Arlington Police Sgt. Eric Belisle told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth. Typically, coyotes “spot you and they get out of the area quickly. This animal was completely different.” The park will remain closed until further notice, …
