Currently, only individuals with severe medical issues can apply for assisted suicide. That may not be the case for long, though…

Bill C-218 was debated in late 2025 in Canada’s parliament. It is a bill directly opposing the 2027 “expansion” that MAiD is planning. It would prevent people who are physically healthy, but mentally unwell from being able to be euthanized. Bill C-218 is commonly known as the “Right to Recover” Act because many people who struggle with mental health at some point in their lives report recovering and getting to a better place. If they could be euthanized at their lowest point, they would never be able to see the brighter days that are ahead of them. (If you are Canadian and would like to sign the petition to encourage Parliament to support Bill C-218, you can do so at this link here. The petition can only be signed until March 6th, 2026).

“Dr. John Maher testified before Parliament that 7% of those who attempt suicide die by suicide,” Andrew Lawton stated in his parliamentary speech in December. “That means that 93% of people who, at one or multiple points, want to end their life eventually get over that. The success rate of MAiD is 100%. By design, this is a policy that will give up on people … These are real people. There are faces to this. If Bill C-218 does not pass, people will die. We have a right and a duty to stand up for those who need it.”

According to polls, the majority of Britons do not want an assisted suicide law to be forced into law, bypassing the House of Lords. Social media groups who are in favor of legalizing assisted suicide were only able to gain 20,000 signatures in a petition (even though they had widespread social media marketing)- significantly less than the 100,000 signatures a petition opposing puberty blockers received (which did not have anywhere near the same widespread social media marketing).

Support for assisted suicide in the UK has dropped since 2024, where the polls showed that 32% of the UK public supported assited suicide.

Women raising children without the help of a husband are more likely to live in poverty. In fact, last year 1 out of every 3 single-mother households were below the poverty line. Poverty adds another layer onto a child’s chances of committing crime or dropping out of school. These numbers emphasize how important it is for children to be raised in a strong two-parent household, with love and care.
