Amir Farsoud, a 54-year-old Canadian man is seeking euthanasia from the Trudeau government, which they refer to cheerily as medical assistance in dying (MAID). While he suffers from chronic pain related to a back injury he suffered years ago, that actually isn’t the reason why he wants to die. Nope. The reason he wants to die is that he’d rather go to his grave… than be homeless.
Farsoud finds himself in so much pain that it frequently keeps him awake at night “crying like a 5-year-old,” but his condition isn’t terminal by any stretch. However, it does make him unable to support himself financially.
The St. Catharines, Ontario, is currently living on social assistance in a boarding house according to The Blaze, but that home is up for sale, and if he should have to move out, he has serious doubts that he’d be able to find another home.
“I know, in my present health condition, I wouldn’t survive it anyway. It wouldn’t be at all dignified waiting, so if that becomes my two options, it’s pretty much a no-brainer,” he said.
It’s for that reason that Farsoud is appealing to the government to give him a taxpayer-funded and provided suicide.
Even more absurd is that Farsoud actually doesn’t want to die per se. He told CityNews that his pain didn’t factor into the decision at all, it’s all about not wanting to be homeless. Period.
“I don’t want to die but I don’t want to be homeless more than I don’t want to die,” he said.
Reporters asked him, if he had access to stable housing would that keep him from considering state-sponsored suicide and his answer was direct, he wouldn’t “even be close to it yet.”
Disturbingly, The Blaze reported that in 2021, over 10,000 Canadians were willingly killed by their government. Legal, state-assisted suicide made up 3.3 percent of all deaths in Canada last year. A heart-breaking 31,664 people have been killed by the Canadian government since the program began in 2016.
Overall, 81 percent of all requests for state-assisted suicide are approved. Justin Trudeau’s hands are bathed in the blood of people he and his government had a duty to help.
Euthanasia “cannot be a default for Canada’s failure to fulfill its human rights obligations,” said Marie-Claude Landry, the head of its Human Rights Commission according to The Associated Press.
Farsoud’s request isn’t about the medical quality of his life, about living in agony or being doomed by a terminal illness. Horrifyingly… it’s about economics. That’s it. Western society has reached such a low point that people are willing to die to avoid poverty and homelessness. His is not the only tragic and baffling Canadian tale either.
Scores of people at a momentary low, on their worst day, when they could have and should have been given medical, psychological and/or spiritual support, were instead killed. Instead of helping these people get past their thoughts of suicide… Ottawa is handing them the proverbial gun.
