Amanda Achtman is watching Canada’s requirement of officially performed “suicide”, which is really official murder.

Suicide is a voluntary decision. The Canadian version is not decided by the victim, it’s decided by the killer. That makes it murder.

As always with psychopaths, the “cause” is blamed and framed and displaced. The killer didn’t choose to kill; the killer was “forced” by “global warming” or “the virus” or “sadness” or people in the distant past who failed to anticipate that future generations would become utterly insane.

The framing is quantified in Canada’s system by attributing the death to disease or sadness or poverty. The statistics agency responded to Achtman:

We’d like to offer a small clarification to our previous response : In the case of a disability or mental health condition, deaths are coded to the underlying disability or mental health issue that MAID was granted for.

Granted. Granted. Granted.

We generously donated death to a sad human being to stop his sadness.

Effective Altruism takes the framing to a new level by blaming future catastrophes for the murders granted by EA cultists. We had to grant you a murder so people in 3000 AD might be less sad.

Walker Percy saw this coming in a precise way. ‘Love in the Ruins’ is his 1971 dystopia, the most perfect prediction of 2020.

= = = = = START REPRINT:

The plot pivots on the ‘trial’ of old Mr Ives, in the form of a Grand Rounds theater in a medical school. Mr Ives has been resisting ‘care’ and ‘wellness’ in a nursing home. Ives has been digging in the nursing home grounds, claiming to be looking for the Fountain of Youth. Obvious evidence of dementia.

The ‘trial’ is aimed at sending Ives off to the Happy Isle Separation Center, ie the gas chamber. The Percy character is trying to get Ives released from the nursing home entirely. He uses his brain-influencing cellphone to loosen up Ives’s tacit stubbornness, and Ives starts telling his actual story. He is an amateur archeologist, studying old native artifacts and languages. After he was committed to the nursing home, he figured out that a certain relic was likely to be under the grounds of the nursing home. He dug it up and used it as a Rosetta stone to decipher a previously uncrackable ancient language. The Percy character wins the case, but the novel immediately rambles off into the apocalyptic chaos generated by the cellphones. So we don’t find out what happens to Mr Ives.

= = = = = END REPRINT.

Earlier I noted a provision of Obamacare that made this system possible. Obamacare requires you to deal with the official “medical” system, and also requires all branches of the system to work together so your sadness MUST be “treated” by the Separation Center, not just by talking to a therapist.
