There's a story that has emerged in Canada over the course of the last several months, really over the course

of the last year since 2021 in Canada. And it really speaks to the complete destruction of the

Western ethic. It speaks to how a belief system about life and natural law and right and wrong

has completely collapsed in the face of radical individualistic

autonomy, the idea that you are free to dispose of your own body, your own life in any way

that you see fit, or at least you should be, that the thing that makes you truly free is

there being no boundaries, no restrictions on your activity whatsoever, not liberty or ordered liberty, but libertinism. You should be able to do whatever it is you want up to and including disposing of your own life. Now, it's always been controversial in the West as to whether there should be a law regarding suicide. Should it be illegal for you to commit suicide? Now, it seems like a silly question because obviously if you make it illegal, it's not like like, well, you know, I'm killing myself and I'm really afraid of going to jail. But the idea is that society does have a stake in you preserving your life. Society should not be facilitating your death. And this particularly comes up in the realm of assisted suicide and euthanasia. In 2021, there's a Canadian law on assisted suicide that was passed, and it contained

a provision that would allow doctors to provide assisted suicide to the psychiatrically ill starting

in 2022. This is according to City Journal, Circa, 22, May 23, 2020, in an article by Theodore

Del Ripple. He says, given that severe psychiatric disorder tends to cloud the judgment of those who suffer from it, one wonders who will benefit most from this law if passed. Certainly it might remove from society people who are often difficult, unproductive, and expensive for others. They might be encouraged to shuffle off this moral coil as a service to their relatives or even to their country. The distinction between the voluntary and the compulsory might become blurred. The law is a logical extension of the right to a dignified death procured by others, that is, a mode and time of death of the person's choosing with the aid of doctors and nurses. Originally, the right was conceded to those already dying. But why should the dying have all the best deaths? Either a man has a right to dispose of himself or he doesn't. Whether he happens to be dying, as in a sense we all are anyway is relevant. If a man has the right to kill himself, it's only humane to give him the opportunity to do so in comfort,

surrounded by his loved ones with soft music playing free of the messy outcome so often associated with unassisted suicide.

This is sort of the ethos that you see in the old 1970s movie Soylent Green.
