‍New York, NY

Picture this. A woman isn’t on death’s doorstep. No terminal cancer eating her alive. She’s broke, disabled, desperately hunting for decent housing, and the government green-lights her execution instead of lifting a finger to help her survive.

Now picture another. A guy with hearing loss and a history of mental health struggles lands in the hospital during a breakdown. His family believes he’s finally getting the care he needs. Wrong. Doctors fast-track him for a state-sponsored kill shot.

And one more, if your stomach can handle it. An adult on the autism spectrum, battling depression, alone, but nowhere near physically dying and he gets quietly put down. Family? They don’t even get a heads-up until the deed is done. You’d swear these were twisted horror stories cooked up to scare people away from “assisted suicide” laws. The kind of grim warnings critics scream about when politicians start flirting with death as a “solution.”

But wake up: every one of these is real. Documented. Happened. These Aren’t “Slippery Slope” Fantasies. These Are Blood-Stained Realities.

The Cases They Swore Would Never Happen

First: “Sophia” in Canada. Not dying. Cited multiple chemical sensitivities, chronic disability, and zero affordable housing options. The MAID machine approved her death anyway because finding her a safe place to live was apparently too hard.

Second: Alan Nichols, another Canadian. Hearing impaired, psychiatric history. Family begged for help during his crisis. Instead, the system handed him death on a platter. His sister testified to Parliament: the state peddled oblivion where real treatment was owed.

Third: Belgium’s psychiatric euthanasia circus. Multiple adults with autism and depression were isolated, suffering mentally, but not terminally, and were legally executed. Sometimes families only learn after the lethal injection, like it’s some bureaucratic afterthought.

These aren’t conspiracy whispers or fake news. They’re on record in parliamentary hearings, court docs, medical journals. The ugly thread tying them together? “Assisted suicide” stopped pretending to be about terminal agony. It morphed into the go-to fix for disability, poverty, and society’s epic failures.

How Did We Slide Into This Abyss?

Same tired playbook, every single time:
“It’ll only be for the dying.”
“Ironclad safeguards… no abuse possible.”
“Pure compassion, never about saving cash or cutting corners.”

Then the goalposts sprint away. “Terminal” warps into “any grievous suffering.” Physical pain balloons to include mental torment. “Last resort” quietly flips to “cheaper alternative to actual care.”
Mercy? Nah. It turned into government-approved population control for the “burdensome.”

New Yorkers: Read This Twice—And Then Scream It From the Rooftops

As of today, December 17, 2025, Governor Kathy Hochul has just announced she’s reached a deal to sign the Medical Aid in Dying Act into law—for terminally ill patients with six months or less to live, complete with extra “guardrails” like mental health checks and waiting periods. Supporters swear it’s “narrow,” “tightly controlled,” and “nothing like Canada or Belgium could ever happen here.” Bull.

Every regime now green-lighting death for non-terminal disability, poverty, or psych issues started with the exact same pious promises. Canada swore it. Belgium swore it. The Netherlands swore it.
New York isn’t some magical exception immune to budget crunches, bloated bureaucracies, or the slow poison of “efficiency” over humanity. Once the state crosses that Rubicon, declaring death an official “health service”, the only question left is how quickly the line gets erased.

The Question They’re Desperately Dodging

What happens when the government shrugs and decides certain lives just aren’t worth the hassle of saving?
When loneliness, disability, poverty, or a bad day qualify you for the needle? When “care” costs too much, but a quick kill is “cost-effective”? These aren’t ivory-tower debates anymore. They’re live policy with corpses piling up elsewhere as proof.

Final Gut Punch

This isn’t compassion vs. heartlessness. It’s about whether we fight suffering with real help… or a consent form and a syringe. New York just barged through the same door others swore they could lock behind them. They couldn’t control the monster. And now, neither can we act shocked when it comes for more.
