Assisted-suicide Canadian's heart, transplanted into an American & other alleged nefariousness

Thou shalt not kill. Canadian doctors and nurses report that organs from assisted suicides are harvested from patients who do not meet legal criteria under the Medical Assistance in Dying law or MAiD.

Criteria not met? Canada's Life Site News reports: the first heart from an assisted suicide was transplanted into a 59-year-old American. This is not the first organ harvested from Canada’s active-euthanasia program. According to the National Post, since 2016 at least 155 Canadians have donated tissue and organs after receiving a lethal injection. Although a “number of doctors are concerned that some ... don’t actually meet Health Canada’s criteria.”

Coercive Death for Organs? Even people who support Canada’s assisted suicide object to incentivizing coercive death for organ harvesting. The nomenclature for organ donation after euthanasia is ODE. Canada is the global leader, cornering 47.6% of the ODE-market. A Science Direct, Dutch study concludes: of the 286 ODEs leading up to 2021, 136 were Canadian. What are the conflict of interests and how are they fixed?

Canada's law requires a terminal illness. Evidence from eyewitnesses shows assisted suicide is "sold" to depressed and poor patients who are NOT terminally ill. Imagine a system where the vulnerable are forced to die so healthy organs prolong life for the wealthy, i.e. the American above. In the U.S, organs are objectively assigned by a panel of medical professionals based on patient priority and tissue-type. It is not clear how an American was chosen to receive an Ontario man's heart in a country that practices socialized medicine.

In this Pro-Life issue, 2-ethical questions arise. Please pray for an end to these alleged practices.

• Was Canada’s active euthanasia program about compassion or convenience?
• Or is it a dark attempt to create an organ pipeline, potential profits and social-medicine efficiencies disguised as mercy?
