Is Canada Becoming the Center of Organ Harvesting Tourism?

American man gets heart from Ontario patient who died via MAID program, and expansion of the program to include mentally ill is looming.

We have been sounding the alarm for quite some time about the disturbing direction Canadian medical advice has been heading for a number of years. For example, a Canadian Forces veteran was seeking treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and a traumatic brain injury when he was casually offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID).

The last time we reported on the subject was when Jacobin Magazine, a publication for socialists that reports having a circulation of 75,000, found the MAID program’s promotion of euthanasia over welfare disturbing. That was about a year ago.

Admittedly, the horror has to be overwhelming for socialists to complain. At the same time, the situation is deteriorating rapidly.

How could it be worse? Organ donation after the use of the MAID program has become increasingly common, making Canada a global leader in this particular area of…’medical care’.

To begin with, an American man in late-stage heart failure received the heart of a 38-year-old Canadian man with ALS who committed suicide through the MAID program earlier this year. This case is the first documented heart transplant performed using a donor who died under Canada’s euthanasia law.

Organs have been donated after MAID before, involving liver, kidney or lung transplants.

“Here we report the first case of a successful cardiac transplantation after MAID,” a team of doctors from The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and The Ottawa Hospital report in the Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation.

The case involved a 59-year-old man with rapidly worsening heart failure who wasn’t expected to survive more than a month without a new heart.
