| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday, May 28, 2006. I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and |
| 0:11.7 | events from a Christian worldview. Today, we need to look at several direct threats to human dignity, |
| 0:17.5 | and in particular to the future of humanity. Let's just look at one big story. We look |
| 0:22.4 | across America's northern border, and we see in Canada the slide of a euthanasia culture, |
| 0:27.4 | of an assisted suicide culture. We see the expanding logic. We see the deadly reach. And we also |
| 0:33.2 | see, in the case of Canada, a velocity that, quite frankly, has seldom been seen. Now, perhaps that |
| 0:38.3 | makes sense, because the velocity began to speed up in other nations in Europe. And so by the time |
| 0:44.0 | the nation of Canada really began to move in this direction, and remember, it was largely by |
| 0:48.7 | a federal court decision. The fact is that a lot of the barriers had already been broken down. A lot of |

| 1:10.0 | The National Post, that's a major |
| 1:11.5 | newspaper in Canada, has run a recent headline, quote, Ontario man dies of maid, M-A-I-D, that's |
| 1:18.1 | medical assistance in dying, after being assessed outside Tim Hortons. Now, many Americans |
| 1:24.5 | immediately perk up at the hearing of Tim Hortons, a major Canadian donut shop. |
| 1:29.5 | Canada is known for its donut culture, and Tim Hortons is very much a part of that culture. |
| 1:34.5 | The shocking thing here is that a man sought assisted suicide and was assessed by a medical |
| 1:40.3 | practitioner and judged ready to move ahead with assisted suicide, the analysis was not |
| 1:46.4 | taking place in any medical context at all. It was not even taking place in the context of a home. |
| 1:51.4 | It was outside a Tim Horton's donut shop. Reporters Sharon Kirkie reporting for the National |
