Seriously though, the Canada euthanasia stories are fucked up.

It somehow does make sense though, that a socialized healthcare, that constantly seeks the cheaper alternatives (cause it's socialized) would try to push for assisted suicide as often as possible, since it's not that expensive to kill someone, and the state doesn't have to bury you either.

But in that case, how come something like this didn't develop before in the European countries that legalized assisted suicide?

How does that follow?

The state doesn't want to spend it's precious budget on your ass, so it constantly attempts to cut corners when it thinks it can. So if that means pressuring you to take a less effective, but much cheaper, medicine to treat whatever you have, it will do it.

The more corrupt your government is, the stronger this effect will be, and it's not limited to the medical field. If you ever end up in ex-communist countries in Eastern Europe, and wonder why our roads are utter shit, the reason is that the government hired the cheapest and worst road workers possible, which in turn use the cheapest and worst materials to build the roads.
