The country is on track to surpass 100,000\u00a0assisted\u00a0deaths before MAID\u2019s 10th anniversary this summer, as noted in a<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/03\/07\/world-news\/canada-set-to-pass-100000-assisted-suicide-deaths-before-programs-10th-anniversary-societal-failing\/\">\u00a0recent New York Post report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As of 2024, the total already stood at 76,475 \u2014 more Canadians killed through the program than died in World War II.<\/p>\n<p>Government-assisted\u00a0suicide is also spreading like wildfire across the West, often sold as compassion but delivering cost-cutting convenience for cash-strapped socialist healthcare systems.<\/p>\n<p>In the Netherlands, euthanasia now accounts for\u00a0<strong>6 percent of all deaths<\/strong>\u00a0and the share is rising every year.<\/p>\n\n<p>In 2025 alone, 10,341 people died by euthanasia. While most were over 70 with physical illnesses like cancer or heart disease, the cases included 499 dementia patients and 278 listed under vague \u201cother reasons.\u201d One case involved a patient aged between 12-18. Dutch experts are now urging caution for anyone under 25, warning that young brains are still developing and highly susceptible to external pressure and online influence.<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s program began in 2016 limited to terminal cases. Within a year, officials were openly discussing how it could save over $130 million\u00a0annually\u00a0in medical costs. Expansions followed: mental illness is scheduled to qualify starting in 2027, and discussions continue about \u201cmature minors\u201d as young as 12.<\/p>\n<p>Belgium and the Netherlands already allow child euthanasia. England, Wales, and Scotland are now pushing similar legislation modeled on Canada\u2019s original law.<\/p>\n<p>The results speak for themselves. In Canada, one in every 20 deaths is now government-assisted\u00a0suicide. Proponents promised rare, tightly controlled cases. Reality delivered a bureaucratic death machine that quietly expanded to the disabled, the depressed, and the financially burdensome.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy offered lawmakers a clear path forward. \u201cI am happy to work with you in whatever way we can,\u201d he said, signaling openness to bipartisan efforts to protect vulnerable\u00a0Americans\u00a0from the same slope.<\/p>\n<p>Another recent case captured the human cost in Spain, where a 25-year-old woman paralyzed after a horrific gang rape was euthanized despite her parents\u2019 desperate legal fight:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8Within 24 hours, Noelia Castillo Ramos will be euthanized in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, Noelia suffered a gang rape in a supervised care center.<\/p>\n<p>This completely shattered her life.
