DailySignal.com reports: “The assisted suicide policy has always rested on a slippery slope. Western societies are now fully in the organ harvesting stage on the road to the bottom of this hill.
In September, the National Post reported that a 59-year-old Pittsburgh man with congestive heart failure received a working heart from a 38-year-old who had Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The young donor didn’t die of natural causes. He was killed through Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying, or MAID, program.
After the 38-year-old Canadian man was killed by medical professionals using ‘life-ending drugs,’ the National Post reported, his ‘heart was removed, attached to a special machine that ‘reanimates’ or restarts hearts to keep blood flowing through the organs while keeping them warm, and then transported to Pittsburgh, where the transplant took place.’
The Post reported that ‘organ donation after voluntary euthanasia has been called the ultimate act of altruism, a gesture that could bring a profound sense of psychological comfort and solace to those seeking assisted death.’
However, it noted what should be obvious, that ‘organ donation and assisted dying is ethically fraught.’
That’s an understatement…”
