Summary
Overview
Kelsey Shurin returns to Trigonometry to discuss the rapid expansion of medical assistance in dying (MAID) programs across Western nations, particularly Canada. She argues these programs have evolved from helping terminally ill patients into what she characterizes as eugenics systems targeting vulnerable populations including the disabled, mentally ill, and potentially children. The conversation covers financial incentives driving the industry, coercion cases, implementation problems, and the moral implications of normalizing physician-assisted death.
The Expansion of Assisted Dying Programs
Kelsey reframes the conversation around MAID, arguing it should be called what it truly is: a eugenics program. She explains how Canada has killed nearly 100,000 people since 2016, with programs expanding to target not just the terminally ill but the mentally disabled, homeless, and those who are simply burdens on the healthcare system. The discussion reveals how these programs are spreading globally, with 13 U.S. states now having similar legislation and plans to expand to over 50% of the American population by 2028.
- MAID is a eugenics program designed to eliminate people who are burdens on the system - the mentally disabled, those with disabilities, and those who cost society money
- Canada will hit 110,000 deaths by end of 2026; by comparison, Germany euthanized 200,000 mentally ill and disabled people throughout all of WWII
- College of Physicians suggests euthanizing children aged zero to one for conditions like Down syndrome
- America has had assisted dying since the 1990s in some states, now expanding with 18 new bills and targeting over 50% of population by 2028
- Programs are not accidents - organizations like Compassion and Choices partner with social engineering groups like the Rabin Group
" It's eugenics. It's a eugenics program. You basically get rid of all the difficult eaters, all the mentally disabled, all of the vulnerable, all of the people that are a burden on the system. "
" We have doctors who have killed over 1,000 people in our country who are making over $860,000 killing over 1,000 people. That's not an incentive? You're out of your mind. "
Financial Incentives and the Business of Death
The conversation exposes the financial structure underlying MAID, revealing how doctors can bill hundreds of dollars per assessment and procedure. Kelsey details how a single doctor can make over $860,000 by killing 1,000 people, and how the healthcare system stands to save $1.273 trillion by eliminating expensive patients. This creates perverse incentives where death becomes more profitable than healing, and organizations spend hundreds of thousands advertising euthanasia on social media.
- Two assessors bill $200-300 each for 105-minute assessments at $50 per 15 minutes; the killing doctor bills $347-500 plus $147 for medication
- Doctors can make roughly $830 per patient killed; one doctor who killed over 1,000 people made over $860,000
- Western report shows healthcare system could save $1.273 trillion by continuing down this path
- Dying With Dignity spends $700,000-800,000 on Facebook advertising death as a solution
- 350 people are responsible for killing over 50,000 of the 100,000 deaths in Canada
" I can order pizza at the same time I just ordered that. This took a total of two minutes for me to organize a killing in a funeral home. "
