Opinion Althia Raj: Justice Minister David Lametti under fire for ‘unbelievable’ comparisons between euthanasia and suicide

In a recent interview for the Star’s “It’s Political” podcast

Psychiatrist Derryck Smith called Lametti’s comments “terrible,” “very distressing,” “so misinformed” and “unbelievable.” Brian Mishara, the director of the Centre for Research and Intervention on Suicide, Ethical Issues and End-of-Life Practices at the Université du Québec in Montreal, said Lametti is treating MAID as if it were any other medical treatment that needs to be widely available rather than as a measure of last recourse.

But it does prompt the question: are we willing to end people’s lives through MAID knowing that some of them could otherwise have gone on to lead happy lives?

althiaraj DavidLametti is such a weak man appointed to his position only because he would do as he was told.

althiaraj Lametti is a Nazi. Talks like Mengele acts like Goebbels. TrudeauIsTheNewHitler

althiaraj Suicide is an unfortunate personal act. Euthanasia is one individual killing another. We used to call this murder cdnpoli

althiaraj Well do something about it then..Save your reputation FFS .

althiaraj

althiaraj Lametti under fire but not for wiping his arse with the charter of rights. When is that outrage coming?

althiaraj Canada is becoming a failed state.

althiaraj death dealers.

althiaraj How is this guy still a member of our govt?

althiaraj MAiD was never about humanitarianism. It was always just an attempt by misanthropic progressives to cull carbon off the human herd.

althiaraj I have no idea why they call him the Justice Minister ? ... He is the Satan himself

althiaraj He just came back from a sightseeing tour of the SS/Gestapo HQ. He was looking for inspiration.

althiaraj Foot in Mouth Syndrome is still rampant amongst lib politicians

althiaraj If you know someone is going to euthanize you and you let it happen it is called suicide.

althiaraj These Liberals are flat out evil. Wake up, Canada. Open your eyes. Our government is staffed by evil people.

althiaraj What do you expect from a Trudeau liberal gang member!

althiaraj This MAID law needs to be revised. He has his point.

ikwilson althiaraj This guy Lametti is consistently a nutter

ikwilson althiaraj Um, it is suicide. Unless someone else chooses it for you, which I don't believe is legal or possible in the context of MAID Suicide is choosing to die. Does the method change that definition?

althiaraj You're right, the correct comparison is a eugenics program

althiaraj With the current events on this failed government I doubt they will pass bill C-11.

althiaraj Bring ethical Jody back

althiaraj The Liberal Party's flawed reasoning: death penalty bad, euthanasia good because it saves money.

althiaraj Conservative Media misrepresents the words of a Liberal in order to excuse the misinformation of conservatives.

althiaraj Sigh … I remember when the Star was a real newspaper. Seems a long time ago.

althiaraj For once, Lametti is absolutely right. Of course MAID and suicide are the same thing. Why do liberal “progressives” continue to believe that by changing the name of something, you change what it is?

althiaraj Absolutely disgusting.

althiaraj This man is good dictatorship material.

althiaraj Lol sorry MAID-stans this is the truth. It is just government funded and promoted suicide.

althiaraj This sounds like tabloid journalism trying to stoke controversy rather than report actual news.

althiaraj This guy has to go. His arrogance at the emergency act Inquiry was appalling. He is arrogant and corrupt.

althiaraj When will Canadians realize how horrible every aspect of this gov is?!?!🤦‍♂️

chloebrownTO althiaraj I'm not surprised alot of people think this way

althiaraj It’s a little funny to see hand wringing about morality in suicide provision while abortion is pumped to us a wonderful expression of human rights. Gross.

althiaraj It also violates the charter of rights and freedoms

Well, that's basically my backup plan in life should I get really sick in order to save tax payers money. Will just off myself at home, or in a lake, maybe a ditch...I'll have to give it some more thought and planning as I get older.

Pt 2. Now I can't afford meds - that cash was for that. As for Xmas, that's zipped what little there was of it. I contemplated taking an overdose. / I did contact the bank & they suggested calling a number. I did contact the police. It's now a case. My trust in humans = 0

11-22-22 when I realized my wallet wasn't in my pocket, I went back to the Metro at Eg. E & Markham to ask if it was turned. It wasn't. The person who stole it left me devastated. Within was about $100 plus all my ID's. Not happy with that, the thief removed another $400.Pt1

FFS Suicide has always been generally available, now that we have MAID people don't have to sit under a tree on a cold winter night or overdose or use a gun. So why is DavidLametti under fire for stating the obvious. cdnpoli

Surprise?!?!! Conservatives don't care about ppl...

How dare you! Liberals can do no wrong 🙄 cdnpoli
