Damien Kurek, a Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) representing the Battle River-Crowfoot riding (electoral district) in Alberta province, introduced the petition on Nov. 6. "We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, call on the government of Canada to block any attempt to allow the killing of children," the petition read.
"The petitioners are very concerned about the proposal for the legalized killing of infants. It is deeply disturbing to Canadians and goes against the values Canadians hold dear. The petitioners emphasize that infanticide is always wrong," declared Kurek declared.
Kurek's petition served to challenge guidance issued by the Quebec College of Physicians (QCP) in 2022. At the time, the QCP's Dr. Louis Roy recommended euthanizing infants up to one year old with "severe deformities and very serious syndromes." Roy's suggestion, issued before the House of Commons' Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), received much criticism.
The QCP doctor based his recommendation on the Groningen Protocol from the Netherlands, which permits euthanasia for infants experiencing intolerable suffering from incurable illness or severe disabilities. However, a diagnosis confirmed by at least one doctor alongside the informed consent of both parents is required. Thus, the QCP suggested that Canada could use this model as a framework to adopt the practice. (Related: Euthanasia- and infanticide-promoting philosopher wins $1 Million dollar Berggruen prize.)
"Canada's euthanasia laws, administered under the euphemistic title of MAiD, currently allow the killing by lethal injection of those who are not terminally ill but suffer from chronic disease," LifeSiteNews pointed out.
"[Canadian] Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government has also attempted to expand the practice to those suffering solely from mental illness but?delayed?this until 2027?after pushback from pro-life, medical, and mental health groups as well as most of Canada’s provinces."
"An infant cannot consent to their own death"
Roy's 2022 comments before the Canadian Parliament received much pushback. Krista Carr, executive vice president of the nonprofit Inclusion Canada, pointed out that predictions by doctors about infants with disabilities "are far too often based on discriminatory assumptions."
"Most families of children born with disabilities are told from the start that their child will, in one way or another, not have a good quality of life. Canada cannot begin killing babies when doctors predict there is no hope for them," she said.
"An infant cannot consent to their own death. This isn't MAiD, it’s murder – and providing MAiD to a person who cannot consent is a standard that is wildly dangerous for all persons with intellectual disabilities in Canada."
National Post columnist Ben Woodfinden also shared the same sentiments. "Assisted death or suicide isn't even the right word for what's being described here," he wrote.
"A baby cannot consent. A baby cannot decide they want to end their own life. It's not about any kind of 'choice' or 'autonomy.' It's straight up infanticide."
