UN @CRDP.bksky.social Ctee could not be clearer in its critique of Canada’s #MAID #Euthanasia regime. Urges Canada to : (a) Repeal Track 2 MAiD, incl the 2027 commencement of Track 2 MAiD for persons whose “sole underlying medical condition is a mental illness” tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/...

Bar graph showing percentages of reasons for Track 1 and Track 2 MAiD with isolation and loneliness at 47.1 % for Track 2.
Trudo Lemmens: "2023 figures of #euthanasia #MAID in Canada are out. Many things troubling, but already this: about 50% of 'track-2' (i.e. people not close to death) cite loneliness & burden on others as sources of suffering. Of course, DwD folks will still claim no social factors to MAID..."

Everything doesn’t happen for a divine reason, because God isn’t orchestrating every earthly event. We have to stop attributing the hateful actions of humans, and the consequences that follow, to a loving, benevolent God.
these clichés are usually the opposite of helpful when you are walking through really hard things.
It’s like tightly hugging someone who has a sunburn: you think you are showing them love, but all they feel is pain. Some people are going through something so difficult, or they have been so hurt by the church, that offering them a spiritual platitude is like slapping their sunburned back.
Claiming that God causes all human actions, including evil, is a perversion of God’s character and incompatible with God’s core characteristic of love.
God urges us, guides us, and instructs us, but he does not force us. God lets us choose and we often choose to hurt ourselves, our neighbors, and God’s creation.
“Everything happens for a reason!”
“Don’t worry, God is on the throne!”
Not only are these not true, they’re harmful when dropped on people going through difficult times.
We have to stop attributing the hateful actions of humans to a loving God. zachwlambert.substack.com/p/no-everyth...

It's tragic because it's true.
