In Canada, where euthanasia and “assisted suicide” (the MAID program) claimed more than 10,000 victims in 2021 alone<\/a>, there was only one small piece missing on the slippery slope leading into the abyss: convincing children that euthanasia is okay. Someone, however, has taken steps to fill this “void.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian Virtual Hospice – Information and support on advanced illness, palliative care and grief<\/a>, a digital division of the self-styled charity International Centre for Dignity and Palliative Care Inc., is dedicated by statute to providing “[…] personalized support and information on advanced illness, palliative care, loss and bereavement to people living with an illness, family members, those working in the health care sector, educators and researchers.” And also to children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just for children, Canadian Virtual Hospice has provided an explanatory booklet<\/a> available for free online in pdf format, titled Medical Assistance in Dying Activity Book<\/em><\/a>. The booklet explains this horrid practice to children, thus clarifying the concept from an early age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dedicated to children ages 6 to 12, in thirty neatly packaged pages the booklet explains what MAID is, who can access it, tells them how the choice to take advantage of the procedure can occur, and what to expect on the day set for implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n

It explores the states of mind one might feel and invites the child to express and rationalize his or her own feelings by empathizing with the hypothesis that a loved one, or at least someone they know, decides to opt for MAID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it proposes a series of activities to familiarize the child with the concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything from the first to the last drawing, from the first to the last word, is not there to simply calm the little ones down when it comes to death and dying, but rather to get across a clear and explicit message: euthanasia is a person’s legitimate choice, euthanasia is “good and a valid choice,” euthanasia is a “right.” The next step will be even creepier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
