Raymond J. de Souza: Euthanasia’s grisly transformation of the Canadian medical regime

My colleagues at Cardus have done a signal service in telling Canadians what the government does not want us to know, namely that euthanasia is far more widespread in the country than we think.

The study, entitled “From Exceptional to Routine: The Rise of Euthanasia in Canada,” was released this past week.

Monsters live among us.
