00:00:00.000 What do we have in this society except to value each other's lives?
00:00:03.080 If we just go about ending each other's lives, what is that?
00:00:06.200 That's basically barbarism.
00:00:09.140 Basically, it's someone who says that,
00:00:11.900 I no longer want to live, please kill me.
00:00:14.260 So they'll go to their doctor and they'll die.
00:00:17.060 So it's one of the leading causes of death in Canada.
00:00:19.420 5% of all deaths in Canada, at least since last year, were due to this.
00:00:23.840 And it's not just someone who says that, oh, I'm ill, please kill me.
00:00:29.440 it's now it's breaching to the elderly and next year it'll be expanding to the mentally ill
00:00:34.460 and to me it seems like a really really dark spiral downwards because now they're talking
00:00:40.800 about expanding it to babies and to minors and it's like it's basically like the very definition
00:00:48.860 of minor is that you're intentionally taking another human being's life which is what this
00:00:52.540 is. And it's saying that these humans have no value, right?
00:00:55.480 I don't know about just people who want to do it while in Trinity, but I think there's
00:01:04.560 just a case in India that a woman was raped and basically she was paralyzed because she
00:01:14.540 was in the hospital care for like 40 years.
00:01:18.740 Okay.
00:01:19.040 And that case was popular because that led to euthanasia being legal or permitted.
00:01:28.280 And it was 40 years of bedside.
00:01:34.960 And I don't know if she wanted it or not, but life on a bed for 40 years also doesn't really...
00:01:45.040 Was her life ended without her consent?
00:01:49.040 I just, I just know the case. I don't know what happened.
00:01:52.220 Okay.
00:01:52.540 Like, it was about the law, not, like, f***ing her or not.
00:01:57.440 Yeah.
00:01:58.180 Uh, so I don't know, it's complicated.
00:02:01.300 Yes, but...
00:02:01.680 I know, voluntary, if someone's healthy, uh, it probably seems like a f***ing problem,
00:02:08.240 but in case, like, if someone's on the bed for 40 years, not talking, like, basically
00:02:15.540 brain dead but still alive uh is that a life worth living i don't know yeah yeah um that case
00:02:26.100 that sounds very complicated but what's happening in canada right now is like it's like mentally
00:02:31.360 ill people that have diabetes are now qualifying and there's a case recently where a 26 year old
00:02:38.220 young man he was obsessed with trying to get made and he was not qualified in ontario but he went
00:02:44.080 out to bc and his physician out there coached him on how to apply for maize so that his life would
00:02:50.180 be ended and it was no it wasn't like he was somehow let in because he made the claim that
00:02:57.060 his diabetes was somehow just making his life miserable and like that's how they tend to
00:03:03.320 qualify now but in next year they will be allowing mentally ill just plain mentally ill people in
00:03:08.920 and my position
00:03:11.140 and it is very clear that
00:03:12.820 even if someone doesn't want to live
00:03:14.840 their life is still of value
00:03:16.420 right? And their value
00:03:19.160 doesn't change just because of their will to live
00:03:21.220 yeah, that's my
00:03:23.120 position, I mean feel free
00:03:25.100 to disagree, that's what this is all about
00:03:27.080 Is it from a religious point of view or just
00:03:29.060 in general?
00:03:30.780 Both, both honestly
00:03:32.680 like, what do we
00:03:35.180 have in this society except to value each other's
00:03:37.140 lives, right?
00:03:38.920 and I personally, I take it from a religious standpoint as well,
00:03:42.780 that each human being, my Bible tells me, is created in an image of God,
00:03:47.380 and we have special worth and value even above that of animals,
00:03:50.820 because we're sentient human beings,
00:03:52.520 and if we just go about ending each other's lives,
00:03:55.500 like, what is that?
00:03:57.280 That's basically barbarism.
00:03:59.460 Like, we're going downward, like, I don't like it,
00:04:03.360 especially now that they're talking about expanding it to minors,
00:04:06.200 and to the mentally ill, and to even infants.
00:04:08.220 I say it's dark
00:04:10.320 yeah I think it's a law
00:04:12.340 issue
00:04:13.020 it is ethics but
00:04:15.720 I don't
00:04:18.680 impose on anyone's will
00:04:20.280 but I think
00:04:22.580 it's an issue of who should be
00:04:24.540 allowed to in the program
00:04:26.400 allowed to even
00:04:28.520 be registered for this
00:04:30.580 is the question
00:04:31.340 yeah and they are expanding it as well
00:04:34.320 so yeah
00:04:35.300 thanks for the information
00:04:37.140 I don't know much about it.
00:04:38.320 Yeah, no, look it up, though.
00:04:39.740 It's getting scary.
00:04:41.580 Okay, all right.
