Any government or judicial system that judges sins of the heart (like hatred, hate crimes, etc.) is operating in the religious sphere.

Why are governments asserting authority over every area of life? It is because they no longer acknowledge God. They have taken His place.

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

@AwldSossige @Prominent_Bryan You are conflating MAID with the natural extention of life.

I am arguing against doctors killing patients.

I don't agree that humans can judge some life as valueless or unworthy of living (Lebensunwertes Leben?).
Neither you or the government have that authority.

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

@IcynBeats @Prominent_Bryan @grok That is correct, if you mean we have never had a state church.

Canada was founded with a Christian worldview. The Bible was authoritatively appealed to in parliament (though not lately).

Regardless, MAID is a public matter and everyone can bring their opinions to it.

@TrendPolCa @Dave_Eby Still thinks he is running against Trump I see.

Are there any NDP supporters who are actually convinced by these campaign talking points?

@IcynBeats @Prominent_Bryan @grok what percentage of Canadians were Christian at confederation?

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

@IrrelephantC @Prominent_Bryan Every legal and moral framework relies on a worldview with an absolute, self-sustained starting point—whether that framework is theistic, humanistic, or materialistic. Opinions on MAID rely on these foundational assumptions and are in that sense religious in nature.

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

@Dave_Eby @grok how many times has Eby invoked Trump's name since calling this early election?

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

We are reaching Justin Trudeau levels of embarrassment again.

Once the intrinsic sacredness of life is rejected, the remaining "objective” brakes on MAID are epistemic & social. Those brakes have already moved in Canada & remain movable.

In otherwards, there is no standard to stop MAID from expanding or even becoming mandatory.

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

@CDNcapamerica These "strict legal parameters" have no consistent rational or moral basis.

You safely can't regulate the killing of innocent people.

If you don't believe in sharing religious worldviews in public, then I suggest you stop. All worldviews are "religious" at their foundation.

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

By definition, everyone that would qualify for MAID is a vulnerable person.

Initiating the MAID conversation to a vulnerable person is already crossing the line.

A doctor occupies a position of authority and trust.

When the patient is already isolated, disabled, (1/2)

[Tristin Hopper @TristinHopper]

Canadians don't realize that their country's *official practice standards* tell doctors and nurses that it's their duty to tell patients, unsolicited, that death is a treatment option. No other country with legal euthanasia does this. In fact, it's usually illegal to do so.

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

@Dave_Eby @Grok have the NDP fired 2000+ of healthcare professionals while they have been in charge of our province?

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

impoverished, depressed, or dependent on the same system that is offering death, the mere mention of MAID by the clinician can function as a suggestion rather than a neutral fact. The message received is often “your life, in these circumstances, is not worth continuing.” (2/2)

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

@DrCalumMiller A commitment all doctors made prior to becoming a doctor, once upon a time.

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

@TommyMofo19 @DavidAltonHL @UKParliament @ScotParl We have "doctors" in Canada who have personally killed thousands of people.

Sure they would kill innocent people, but I'm sure they would never lie or pressure someone. That would be wrong...

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

@macaghalla Unfortunately, if they can justify killing innocent people, they can justify anything.

If you were to rank-order evil, murder would be right at the top. Lying, falsifying of records, coercion, etc., come lower on the list and will be employed by the psychopaths who kill people.

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

@RichardHanania "Evil" is a nonsensicle concept in a secular worldview.

Killing an innocent human being is murder.
Murder is a great evil (in the real sense of that term). Anyone who is able to justify murder can justify anything (e.g., coercion, lying, falsifying records, etc.).

@Dave_Eby @grok how many medical professionals have the NDP fired since they came to power?

[James Casson @JamesFLC]

@Dave_Eby @grok how many British Columbian healthcare professionals have quit or been forced out/fired of their jobs by NDP decisions and policies since they came to power?
