Pro-euthanasia lobbyists want Canada’s assisted suicide via lethal injection laws to be extended to drug addicts, which critics warn could lead the nation down a dangerous path nearing “eugenics.”

At a recent conference of the Canadian Society of Addiction Medicine (CSAM), there were calls by some euthanasia providers in attendance to allow Canadians with drug addictions to be allowed to, in essence, kill themselves with the aid from the government via legal medical assistance in dying (MAiD), which will soon be expanded to those suffering from mental illness.
