The Canadian Virtual Hospice, an online resource for palliative care, recently released a children’s book about MAiD – Medical Assistance in Dying, otherwise known as euthanasia. In this colorful text, written for ages 6 to 12 years and titled the Medical Assistance In Dying Activity Book, children are guided through the process of assisted death. The book asks questions and explores the options, feelings, and responses to MAiD, and what will happen when people they know choose MAiD. Toward the end of the text, an outline explains the steps involved, saying, in part, Next, the MAiD provider will give the person the third medicine, which blocks the brain from sending messages to the person’s organs. That makes their heart and lungs stop working. Because of the coma, the person does not notice this happening, and it does not hurt. When their heart and lungs stop working, their body dies. It will not start working again. Most of the time a person’s body stops working a few minutes after the third medicine is given, but sometimes it takes longer…

...Once the MAiD provider has checked everything and they are sure that the person has died, they will leave the room to fill out some papers. Then they will pack up their supplies and leave so that the person’s family or friends can spend some time with the person’s body.

Wesley J. Smith, writing for the National Review, made a critical observation regarding the book: Once we endorse k*****g as an acceptable answer to human suffering, we have to train the children that k*****g is okay. Because they are not stupid and will know that their loved one is being terminated, their immediate instinct will probably be that it is wrong.

The whole euthanasia agenda is gut-wrenching, morally destructive, and wrong. It not only ends the life of despairing people who are abandoned by the “It’s your choice” deflection, but as this book illustrates, has the potential to seriously impact the emotional well-being of children in the family who watch as their loved one’s k*****g is discussed, planned, and executed.

The Bible speaks of a seared conscience in 1 Timothy 4:2. The conscience is the God-given moral consciousness within each of us (Romans 2:15). If the conscience is “seared”—literally “cauterized”—then it has been rendered insensitive. Such a conscience does not work properly; it’s as if “spiritual scar tissue” has dulled the sense of right and wrong. Just as the hide of an animal scarred with a branding iron becomes numb to further pain, so the heart of an individual with a seared conscience is desensitized to moral pangs.

Paul identifies those who have a seared conscience in 1 Timothy 4:1–2: “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.” In this passage, we learn three things about false teachers who lead others into apostasy: 1) they are mouthpieces for evil spirits, since they promulgate “things taught by demons”; 2) they are hypocritical liars, since they wear a mask of holiness but are full of falsehood; and 3) they are unscrupulous, since their consciences have been cauterized. This explains much. How can false teachers lie with no shame and spread deception with no compunction? Because they have seared consciences. They are past feeling that lying is wrong.

Bevy: I have to point out to you that your post, although very good, has too many big words and requires thinking a bit - thus Milktoast will be scratching her head for days trying to figure it out.

Your post makes you a liar, and secondly, you’ll only hear God at the Great White Throne Judgement.

Milosia2 Loc: Cleveland Ohio

You won't be saying that when you're thrown in the "horsechit" Lake of Fire forever after being judged by Jesus at the White Throne.

Marty 2020 Loc: Banana Republic of Kalifornia

Your choice.
Can’t say you haven’t been warned.
Have a nice life.

I am sorry to disappoint you but these are your fears , NOT MINE.
And you have no power to cast these around as though they are real.
I mean yes they are real , for you
NOT ME.
Go practice in private like Jesus told you to do.
Leave the rest of us alone.
And one more thing, if saying what you did , made you feel warm and fuzzy all over
Then, you are perfect example of a terrible Christian.
