Disabled Canadian Army veteran Paralympian blasts government for offering to EUTHANIZE her when she complained about how long it was taking to install stairlift at her home
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Christine Gauthier testified in Canadian Parliament on Thursday
- Gauthier, a paraplegic veteran, sought help getting a wheelchair lift at home
- A Veterans Affairs staffer instead offered medically assisted suicide, she said
To be fair, recent prices in the U.S. for a home wheelchair lift start at about $2,500 plus shipping and installation, while assisted suicide probably costs a few tens or hundreds of dollars — if the cost of time of the medical staff is included.
- Government probe found at least four other veterans were also offered suicide
- Trudeau called called the trend 'absolutely unacceptable' and vowed to end it
"No stairlifts for anyone!"
- Euthanasia has been legal for terminally ill patients in Canada since 2016
- But last year law expanded to include people with long-term disabilities
