Jordan Petersons recent interview with mental health advocate and host of The Brass & Unity Podcast, Kelsi Sheren, exposed dark truths about the process of assisted death and what happens to the people electing to die by assisted suicide and euthanasia. As previously reported by Live Action News, the process is not peaceful, because the person can drown to death while paralyzed.
Ive already seen romanticized death encounters distributed online, said Peterson. And so, I think thatll be the next thing thatll confront us in Canada.
Sheren replied that theres something really troubling and concerning that needs to be discussed concerning MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) in Canada that no one understands.
What I found out that really, really bothered me was the mechanism of the actual procedure, she said. So theres this drug called sodium thiopental and its made in Italy so its used by anesthesiologists. And the anesthesiologist that came forward with this he came forward with this for the Senate subcommittee talking about this with MAiD and his concerns with it because MAiD is being seen as compassionate and empathetic care.
That anesthesiologist, Dr. Joel Zivot, penned an op-ed discussing this drug back in 2021, which Live Action News reported on at the time. He looked at a handful of autopsies of executed criminals who were given sodium thiopental, and he found their deaths had not been peaceful. Their lungs were full of fluid. Called pulmonary edema, it makes a person feel as though they are drowning or suffocating. MAiD also uses sodium thiopental.
NPR then used the Freedom of Information Act to examine the autopsies of more than 300 individuals executed in America using sodium thiopental. They learned that 84% of those individuals who had information about their lungs in their paperwork showed a 2x level increase of water in the lungs.
Reporting for NPR in 2020, Noah Caldwell said, Now lawyers are also bringing autopsies to federal courts around the country, claiming that the pain of pulmonary edema amounts to cruel and unusual punishment. And they say this explains why weve seen some inmates in recent years gasping for air and choking as theyre being executed.

The effect of this drug is akin to dying by waterboarding or drowning said Sheren. She added, [T]he reason the people who are given MAiD seem peaceful is because they are given a paralytic first so they are completely paralyzed.
Waterboarding falls under torture and cruel and unusual punishment yet pro-euthanasia advocates call MAiD peaceful. Sheren also told Peterson about the millions of dollars the Canadian government is saving on health care costs by killing people instead of caring for them and promoting it as a persons right.
In 2020, Canadas Parliamentary Budget Officer released a report showing that its MAiD program created a net cost reduction of $86.9 million a year for the Canadian government. The report noted that the planned expansion of eligibility for MAiD would create an additionalnet savings of $62 million per year.
In an article forThe Spectator, author Yuan Yi Zhu explained, Health care, in particular for those suffering from chronic conditions, is expensive; but assisted suicide only costs the taxpayer $2,327 per case. And, of course, those who have to rely wholly on government-provided Medicare pose a far greater burden on the exchequer than those who have savings or private insurance. There is already talkof allowing mature minors access to euthanasia toojust think of the lifetime savings.
From 2021 to 2022, deaths by MAiD in Canada grew by 31.2%. Since assisted death was legalized in Canada in 2016, 44,958 have died by it. Each of them were sold the idea of a peaceful death that may have actually been torture.
The DOJ put a pro-life grandmother in jail for protesting the killing of preborn children. Please take 30-seconds to TELL CONGRESS: STOP THE DOJ FROM TARGETING PRO-LIFE AMERICANS.
