<p>An armed forces veteran seeking help from Canada&#8217;s Veterans Affairs agency (VAC) was offered medical assistance in dying (MAiD) as a solution for PTSD, reports conservative Canadian magazine ;<em>The Post Millennial. ;</em></p>



<p>MAiD was legalized in Canada in 2016 and is available to people who suffer from &#8220;grievous and irremediable&#8221; conditions that are not terminal. Starting in March of next year, MAiD will also be available to individuals with mental disorders. ;</p>



<p>The combat veteran, who called VAC for help treating an injury suffered while serving, did not ask about MAiD and said he felt &#8216;betrayed&#8217; by the fact that it was brought up during the conversation. ;</p>



<p><strong>In a statement, VAC expressed &#8216;deep regret&#8217; for the incident and confirmed MAiD was &#8220;discussed inappropriately&#8221; during the phone call. ;</strong></p>



<p>&#8220;Providing advice pertaining to medical assistance in dying is not a VAC service&#8221; and employees &#8220;have no mandate or role to recommend medical assistance in dying to veteran clients,&#8221; said the agency. </p>



<p>VAC added that it would provide MAiD to a veteran if that person had &#8220;already made the decision to pursue an assisted death with their primary care provider.&#8221;</p>



<p><strong>Author&#8217;s Note:</strong> As most of us know, veterans have a higher risk of suicide than the average population. Offering euthanasia as a solution for PTSD was inexcusable and disgusting. The employee who spoke with the veteran should be sacked and banned from working in the medical industry. </p>



<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s Note: </strong> This is what happens when you stray too far from the Judeo-Christian tradition. Respect for life goes away. And the leftists who push &#8220;solutions&#8221; like euthanasia lose their perspective and their empathy, all the while thinking they are more enlightened than anyone else.</p>
