Alex Schadenberg
Executive Director - Euthanasia Prevention Coalition I received an email from a person, whose Aunt died by euthanasia, even though she might only have a bladder infection. This email letter proves that the supposed safeguards in Canada's euthanasia law are ineffective and ignored by euthanasia doctors who are deciding who lives and who dies.

The letter is edited for privacy:

This was so wrong ... name withheld. This letter indicates that the euthanasia doctor was not concerned that the woman may only have had a bladder infection and the legally suggested 10 day waiting period was simply ignored so that the lethal injection occurred within 3 days before the woman could change her mind.

I shared this on Google and on my FB---This is tragic and I feel that it will become the norm for older people--God help us and thank you Alex for all that you do!!

Why was the family over-ridden? The woman was their aunt. Surely the power of attorney should have gone to family first. This doctor (And I can guess who it was) has blood lust, pure and simple. So a bladder infection is enough cause to kill now. That was a fast downward ride.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I hope that they also storm the bigger newspapers and Go Public with this story, demanding an investigation. Perhaps the unbridled media enthusiasm for killing will wane a bit when they see how the supposed "safeguards" have been broken.

When you contacted the retirement facility and the physicians about this case, what did they say? It's only fair to report both sides of this story, not just one.

That question is moot, SUP. It doesn't matter what anyone said, they didn't do the tests & rushed it thru in 3 days instead of 10. Makes them automatically wrong, & now they are murderers to boot.
