In an article published in the Daily Wire, TCA’s Ashley McGuire and Leigh Fitzpatrick Snead warn of the insidious dangers behind legal assisted suicide, and point to the 1 in 20 deaths in Canada to demonstrate its inevitable escalation. In the article titled, “Canada Lost Over 15,000 Citizens to Assisted Suicide in 2023. Now Britain Wants In On The Action,” they share the following:
“Earlier this summer, the House of Commons narrowly endorsed the legalization of physician-assisted suicide….Two days of impassioned speeches saw the lords oppose the measure by a two-to-one ratio. The surprisingly contested debate over the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in Parliament’s Upper Chamber keeps hope alive.
The Lords, it seems, are awake to the great menace of assisted suicide, a menace unleashed in Westminster this summer when the House of Commons approved euthanasia after decades of hitherto failed attempts.
…We all have a stake in their cause and their courage.
“When a nation adopts assisted suicide, it is as a neat procedure to tidy up some sad, messy cases,” Dan Hitchens recently wrote. “Later on they discover it is not a procedure but a living thing, a sea-monster devouring the shipwrecked — the disabled, the mentally ill, the guilt-ridden, the poor.”
… Up to now, we have always tried to restrain the man or woman in despair on the bridge with all our might: ‘All this reflects our deep humanistic intention that when a person acts to end their life it should be resisted with all the energy we can muster.’
“But what happens…when the state shouts, ‘Jump’?”
