Death conditioning begins at eighteen months. Every tot spends two mornings a week in a month in a Hospital for the Dying. All the best toys are kept there, and they get chocolate cream on death days. They learn to take dying as a matter of course.
-Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
For Canadian doctors in our Brave New World-esque dystopia, killing patients is big business.

As if industrialized state killing under the guise of humanitarianism weren’t depraved enough, Canada’s state-employed practitioners of “medical assistance in dying” (MAID) now “network” in the same way that oncologists or plastic surgeons might in an attempt to share tips, expand their professional reach, and meet soaring demand.
Via The Atlantic (emphasis added):
The euthanasia conference was held at a Sheraton. Some 300 Canadian professionals, most of them clinicians, had arrived for the annual event. There were lunch buffets and complimentary tote bags; attendees could look forward to a Friday-night social outing, with a DJ, at an event space above Par-Tee Putt in downtown Vancouver. “The most important thing,” one doctor told me, “is the networking.”
Which is to say that it might have been any other convention in Canada. Over the past decade, practitioners of euthanasia have become as familiar as orthodontists or plastic surgeons are with the mundane rituals of lanyards and drink tickets and It’s been so long s outside the ballroom of a four-star hotel. The difference is that, 10 years ago, what many of the attendees here do for work would have been considered homicide.
One out of every twenty Canadian deaths this year will come at the hands of government doctors practicing their peculiar form of “medicine” — a figure that creeps up year by year.

Stefanie Green, a Vancouver doctor, likens the work of killing her patients to her former vocation of delivering babies, terming the practice of MAID as “transitioning and delivering life out.”
Her colleague describes killing his patients as “energizing.”
Continuing:
Gord Gubitz, a neurologist from Nova Scotia, told me that people often ask him about the “stress” and “trauma” and “strife” of his work as a MAID provider. Isn’t it so emotionally draining? In fact, for him it is just the opposite. He finds euthanasia to be “energizing”—the “most meaningful work” of his career. “
In at least anecdotal instances, the socialized medical system in Canada has proposed MAID as an alternative to costly care for patients with mental and physical ailments.
Continuing:
In 2023, Kathrin Mentler, who lives with concurrent mental and physical disabilities, including rheumatoid arthritis and other forms of chronic pain, arrived at Vancouver General Hospital asking for help amid a suicidal crisis. Mentler has stated in a sworn affidavit that the hospital clinician who performed the intake told her that although they could contact the on-call psychiatrist, no beds were available in the unit. The clinician then asked if Mentler had ever considered MAID, describing it as a “peaceful” process compared with her recent suicide attempt via overdose, for which she’d been hospitalized. Mentler said that she left the hospital in a “panic,” and that the encounter had validated many of her worst fears: that she was a “burden” on an overtaxed system and that it would be “reasonable” for her to want to die. (In response to press reports about Mentler’s experience, the regional health authority said that the conversation was part of a “clinical evaluation” to assess suicide risk and that staff are required to “explore all available care options” with patients.)
So much for primum non nocere.

But perhaps most dystopian of all, it’s not just the doctors capitalizing on all of the newly-instantiated death cult and the state medical system trying to offset the costs of caring for their human burdens.
A hot new app called “Be Ceremonial,” for a small annual fee of $59, will help Canadians personalize their government-suicide “transition.”
Via Be Ceremonial (emphasis added):
Our medical assistance in dying ceremony offers secular and universal rituals that can support the person dying, their loved ones, and their larger community.
No matter what you believe or don’t believe in, there’s a role for ritual in the MAiD experience because it encourages us to process this experience with our mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness in mind…
However you choose to acknowledge this time of transition, our app will guide you through the process. You can choose to create a ceremony on your own, with a friend, or as a group. You can even gift this experience to someone you care for.
For Canadians mulling the ultimate decision, they now have a podcast to help nudge them in that direction, featuring uplifting stories of “doctors,” advocates, and spouses who share the joy of killing their patients and loved ones.
Via Disrupting Death:
Pajama party at a funeral home! Painting a coffin in a schoolyard! In this episode, Cynthia Clark talks about how she “included, consulted and considered” her children in the process of her husband’s medically assisted death and her writing project, “The Many Faces of MAiD.”
How loving and liberal!
What strikes me above all is not the murderousness of the Canadian government or the eagerness of a Western population to end the cruel charade that is modern living — I think we all take those as givens these days — but rather how profoundly disempowering it must be to give up your last bit of agency, to outsource your last act on Earth to the sterile, cold, clinical work of the state.
What happened to an old-fashioned revolver to the temple?
Oh right, Canadians aren’t allowed to own those — for their own safety and well-being, of course. Because the government loves them and wants them to be happy.
