12:30 am
kimberly this episode of 360 view, we take a look at how other parts of the world are handling assisted dine as well as the religious components. let's get started. oh, hello, i'm skype hughes and remember in 2009 when the candidate for united states vice president sir palance introduced the concept of a debt channels. as americans were learning the details of the affordable healthcare act. a president bomb at the time, acted quickly to dispel the rumor. however, her concept was not true and america. other countries around the globe have for many years had the option of medically assisted suicide assisted dying practices, which include youth in asia and physician assisted suicide, or p. a. s. have expanded significantly around the world over the past 20 years, or 280000000 people and 11 countries around the world have access to the end of
12:31 am
life option with more countries looking to adapt laws which give the option more. up until recently this option was only given to those patients who are terminally ill. hover and canada and belgium laws have been adopted, permitting people with a chronic grevious and your remediate conditions and physical disabilities to commit suicide, even if they're not terminally ill. but opponents worry about making youth and age available to such a broad spectrum of elements, including even some involved with mental health is medically assisted suicide, becoming a routine medical option rather than an extra ordinary measure available only and very limited situations and cannot, won't through december 30 2021. 31000 canadians have received assisted death. of those 24 were not terminally ill. they were just taking advantage of washers amendment to me now is keith mchenry, co founder of the global movement, food,
12:32 am
not bombs. thank you so much for joining me on this. yeah, thank you. is such an important issue. it is a not many people are talking about. it's an issue that's been around my mother was telling me how she even did a report when she was in high school and she's in asia. so it's nothing new. but it's obviously becoming something more and more adapted adopted by many countries around the world. i want to start with this disturbing new fad of medically assisted suicide. do you see this as an opening of pandora's box in regards to the legal power to in one's life? or is this a humane solution? now this is not only a shilling legal, you know, change, but the thing is it's also it's creating an atmosphere where it's ok for our society to let people die. because a poverty, basically, or some other emotional issues. so what caught my attention was when i saw a new local newscasts of a man by the name of moore, who is perfectly healthy,
12:33 am
i mean, he had the ailments of any person in their sixties arthritis and so on. but he will not terminally on any means. and he told city news that he had chosen what they call medical assistance in dying or the cute term made. because he feared becoming homeless. and a rather substantial number of canadian sense the, the, this law has been updated have taken that choice as opposed to ending up living on the streets and the, and the country as well as canada. why cannot not accommodate people who have basically physical disability or inability to afford their proper, you know, where they're living and his case, the building was going to be destroyed. and he could not, in several years find a new location that his pension could afford. so he had chose to die
12:34 am
instead, another man, li laundry, $65.00. he decided he could not be homeless himself. he couldn't face the prospect . so he was able to apply for, for made. and he is basically one signature from one doctor away from terminating is life, as opposed to receiving adequate housing or adequate income to for housing and, and the doctors in canada, in the last year or 2, maybe 2 years now. been suggesting that people, their medical bills are going to be too high, that they can take advantage of made. and i know there's one really chill in case of a veteran from the canadian military who was given that option that her basically or disability which was a wheelchair to accommodate for make it accessible to her housing. so she said, well, look at, you know, its costs a lot of money to, you know,
12:35 am
make it possible for you to come and go from your home. so why don't you choose may? and this is just a number of just chilling chilling cases where it's not about the physical health. it's about saving money to the canadian health program. and. busy the canadian government, apparently, i think, is part of surplus population control and they're just basically considering going from people useless eaters. but i'm and i and i have relatives and friends who actually confronted this in canada. and one of my best friends offs took advantage of may, even though she really was just older persons with the same kind of, you know, trains and suffering that we all have is older people. i can, this is still just mind blowing to me that in 2023. this is what we're finding and it sounds like it and you are, that this is going to be the new standard to circumvent the work and resources
12:36 am
needed to deal with the disabled are needing not only candidate, but other countries might start taking the same policy. didn't using them in their situations. yeah, i'm very concerned because the policy in canada started out a death with dignity like we have here in california where i live and then it just keep moving the gold code. so for instance, canada, their next thing is in march of this year, you can have yourself youth tonight if you have a mental health crisis. so, you know, you currently are mentally well enough to decide in your life through made, but you're not, you know, mentally well enough to live. you know, this is really shocking. so years ago, i had had 5 miles of suffering hardly for 20 years. and, and many people at 5 miles and their life prematurely because it is such
12:37 am
a horrible disease. but the thing was, i ended up doing a water only fast for 23 days. and i completely cheered myself. and i have like a totally healthy 10 years since then. imagine the other people who lost that opportunity because they were forced into a position where they had to do made. and what's even more chilling as a woman than jennifer had to featured in a, in a ad produced by simon's which of the department store and go back. and she was only $37.00. they made this beautiful ad about how wonderful it was that she would be ending her life through may. her issue was that she could not find adequate housing for her illness. and so instead she chose this and they made a flower the we, you know, it makes it sound like, oh yeah, beautiful to just new maid and die. now, for that to be on tv and canada without ranges or what scares me,
12:38 am
i'll be the 1st to say the american health care system is broken in. and there's definitely reforms that are needed in here. but so often people look at canada, the u. k. other countries that have free health care, nobody ever talks about this. the consequence of free health care when you rely on the government for health care you, you literally rely on it until death do you part. and i'm also worried if we have a major divide already wealth, divide in the world, do you think this would cause those who might be more wealthy be given better treatment options while they're on this earth because they can pay for it. oh, i agree that that is a very bad consequence of this. another consequence as we can see, like the total you know, hatred for workers in the united states for example. yeah, were to blame for inflation and so we need to become unemployed. you know, it's definitely social engineering that could be a really tragic and i am very concerned that what the made in canada actually
12:39 am
opened the door to it's for people feel uncomfortable of others without resources being euthanized. and we can see that there is no actual plan to, you know, for instance, of my teeth. i feed the homeless for the last 40 years. and instead of like providing access to housing and things that, you know, we're in the canada, california is the wealthiest state in the country. and yet they just let our people live all over the streets and, and drilling provide no resources for people. and i'm very concerned that what will happen, and there's been proposals by local politicians here in santa cruz to place everyone in the military facilities. and those facilities could ultimately, which are way out in the middle of nowhere. and who knows who becomes accessible acceptable by the general public? because these are like, you know, just worthless individuals from the perspective of those in power. that they just,
12:40 am
you know, you sign a document that you get yourself youth and eyes that the facility because they can't afford to feed you anymore even though they can afford every other luxury thing that comes down the par, including war, you know, which is of course, the name of our group is not bombs and we sent already twice as much money to the ukrainian war effort as it would cost the n homelessness in the united states. which would be a benefit for everyone because who really wants to go down our street and see so many people suffering. and people like having, you know, emotional breakdowns and public and so on. we don't, no one wants to include people living outside on the streets. why don't we spend money on housing? are people providing medical treatment was accessible in this country but, but one of the things that i was all for and i am in general for medicare for all. but when medicare for all ends up mandating things like cost cutting measures,
12:41 am
including things like made for other kinds of interventions that that are against your will. you know, it makes me question whether this is necessarily the best policy, but everybody should deserve a access to health care, but in conditions the way society is organized. now, i'm not sure that's very safe. and that's something that i think we don't discuss enough when we talk about what could be the end result for governments when they run out of money and they're still expected to take care of the people. thank you so much. keith mchenry, for chatting with us on the subject. i'd say you're one of the few people who are actually willing to go on the record and talk about it. i appreciate you. thank you so much for having me and such an honor to be on your program so excited to, to be invited and take care. bye bye everyone. so after the break, we're going to talk about the ethics involved with this push for euthanasia. policies around the globe will be right back. ah huh.
12:42 am
ah ah, well oh oh oh, oh, i ah with it.
12:43 am
oh, well, come back, i'm sky now. hughes and you were watching 360 view. we've been talking about physician assisted suicide or euthanasia, practices across the globe. joining me now to share his horrifying story about a euthanasia program in canada called made or medical assistance and die which even offer to pay his family if he chose have medically assisted suicide instead of surgery. is brett by ky schmidt. bucky, thank you so much for joining me. extra. you know you have a disease called narrow a fibro. my toes is type 2 or an f 2, which for our audience is a genetic condition that causes tumors to grow all on your nerves. the tumors are usually non cancerous or benign, but may cause a range of symptoms. so i have to ask you bulky, what is your life like and how does and if to affect your daily life and even
12:44 am
planning for the future. well, it china chosen for a loop because it because the way that it manifests it affects your inter, ears on both sides. so it because the electrical stimulus from your, from your nerves stimulate your inner ears. it creates a lot of noise inside your head, which can get pretty, pretty trying at times it's a little little much because your brain's kind of growing like 90247. wow. well, and i mean it's, it's, can, it sounds like you know, a lot, and probably a lot worse than tendonitis that we've heard. obviously lots of people suffer for multiple reasons for me throughout their life. and when you were diagnosed, you seem to have to fight your own doctors or even the medical community in canada because you found the surgery that you wanted and it was deemed elective,
12:45 am
even though there was this fast growing tumor that you were having to deal with how long was it do you think from your initial diagnosis until you receive the surgery that you wanted? and you also had about to get the doctors to sign off. let's start with 1st of all the surgery. how long was it from then to when you actually were able to get the surgery rate? so when, when all my stuff was diagnosed was in 2015, so i had one tumor at the front up here. frontal lobe area called mon n g oma, and they're, they're not as concerned with an n g almost because they typically grow quite slowly. this one up here in 2015, measured 2 millimeters. and then in january of 2021, it was, it had grown to 10 millimeters. so it grew basically
12:46 am
a little bit every year over the course of 6 years. and then from january of 2021 until i had another m r. i done in july of 2021, and that's when they found that this tumor had gone from 10 millimeters to 25 millimeters. so it grew 2 and a half times in size in 6 months, which they said was very unusual. and that their recommendation would be either radiation therapy or surgical reception. and they, they explained to me that typically the process would be to remove surgical reception because then they can get an actual tissue sample and they'll be able to classify what type of tumor it is. so that future radiation therapy is that much more effective. so basically it was the end of
12:47 am
july 2021 when they had downed it and and i had called my oncologist to talk to him about it. he had explained that he was going on holidays. so i had to wait a couple of weeks for till he got back. and then so when he, when he returned, then they because a time timing wise, by that point we're already into and toward the end of august. so it was discussed to just wait until november, and then they would have another look at it. and so when they did finally look at it in november of 2021, the recommendation was to remove it. and when the discussion came up about removing it, i was asked actually quite a few times about getting something shot when, when i declined it, that's when it be re surgery was reclassified to elective surgery
12:48 am
and they basically said they wouldn't let me know. so i ended up waiting for me then until august of 2022. so as, wow, basically that's literally just recently here, you waited that long saying as an elective surgery or you have this rapidly growing tumor, there might even be benign, but it's still having an effect on it. meanwhile, there's also the same time you were having a hard time, so you've got a rapidly growing to re ever a hard time getting billed e. c. we're losing money as well as from then and just haven't weighed everything just to pushing it on. tumor in your head, can't work and nobody will help you in the assistance. the reason why we have safety net programs like disability do you? why do you think this is? do you think this is being done on purpose and for what reason? my, my personal opinion is. yeah. it sure seem like it because when they told me this,
12:49 am
then i that, that very specific day i'd actually called in to my cancer clinic and said, okay, well can i just have a copy of my records because, and i, the way i was reading the disability thing was that it was just to confirm diagnosis. so i, you know, i got my medical records that i can send those and the red, that's when they basically told me, well, no, this isn't how you go about getting your records. you need to do this process and then that's when the woman on the line said, oh and, but i do have some great news for you. but what the great news. and that's when she said, well, you qualify for the governments, the federal government's made program and they've heard rumors that early people adopt early adopters like why so bonus free money is the way they put it. i mean, i don't really consider the free. it's my own money back, i think,
12:50 am
but, but this is incredible for me at your life. so literally they're saying, you don't get money from disability. you don't get, you know, you're not going to get this surgery that you want to be classified elective, but hey, guess what? you qualify for assisted suicide and your family might get paid for to that point. where did you feel like you were living in the twilight zone at that stage? honestly, i really didn't. i was because i, when she told me that on the phone i didn't know what made was. so i had to go look it up and i looked it up and i was like, i mean really you're, you're telling me that why and this is from my care team telling me, you know, that this is great news and i, i was just what i started to think was okay, well i see why they don't want to sign my disability paperwork, because if i, if i did jet short and long term, i mean, yeah, i'm not,
12:51 am
i don't know how long the last, but i think they, they can go for years so i mean, how do you for somebody to do something that they don't want to if they're on that? so here i went, our doctors do a report to the provincial which would be in the states would be steep governing bodies. so here it's a provincial college of physicians and surgeons the way that i, i interpret their rules in the way things are set up in the college, basically just tells all the doctors a you know, whatever, it's perfectly just go and, and they tell him, basically don't sign any buggy, i have to, you know, i could go all day with this story right here. just is horrifying to me on this when you had surgery in august 22 this 6 less than 6 months ago. 7 months ago.
12:52 am
you're here. i'm glad you did take that option because you're obviously very productive. you're still heading to society real quick. i did see they actually followed up to make sure that you weren't going to reconsider taking the suggestion of going down the made path. correct? yeah, yeah, in that, so i had my surgery on august 18th and in the middle of november here. so is it basically a year from the 1st time that they had told me this? i gotta call and i thought it was for my surgical follow up and it wasn't, it was them calling to ask if i had it you know, reconsidered. ok. they're, they're made offer opportunity as they call the not sure. what kind of oppertunity that is to you know, like i say, even my, my surgery surgical followup was supposed to be 3 weeks, is what they told me. i literally just had it last week. it was. so it was 4 and a half months for my 3 and, and my 3 week surgical followup was over the phone. i haven't even seen
12:53 am
a doctor so well, becky, i'm glad you made the right decision and we're going to wish you the best of health . please stay in contact with the show. if there's anything we can do for you. i really appreciate you joining me and sharing your story. thanks so much and have me think wow, the life expectancy for the world in 2022 was about 72 years. and what countries in the west are start to actually see increased life expectancies because of modern medicine in better health and practices globally. just because humans are living longer doesn't necessarily mean they're living better and is struggling in society are sometime soon as a drain of government resources. and then implementing dr. assisted suicide. a viable solution which would even be under consideration. death can be seen as tragic or can we says merciful, depending on the situation surrounding the deceased. then societies which continue to de value human life and individuals. this could easily be seen as
12:54 am
a way of shocking their responsibilities. this could also be a way of opening pandora's box by giving the power to end a life illegally based on the quality of life, which is completely subjective. you know more countries discussing, allowing euthanasia based on psychiatric issues like belgian one can only come to the conclusion. this option is going to continue to grow for a growing list of elements. and when governments are looking to combat the rise and health care cost, it should be especially alarming. when governments allow youth in nature to even be an option to the solution. even worse, if a doctors themselves are pushing this as the best medical option, when they're obvious other choices. how is research and development of future treatment and drugs going to be impacted? when all you can do is just terminate the life. with the option of euthanasia, we become a more lazy society looking for an easy solution to a problem rather than actually having to put in the work needed to find the
12:55 am
solution. but whatever the justification which someone or a government might use for euthanasia, there is no ethical or moral reason which can justify playing the role of god. i'm scared now. hughes and it's been your 360 view of the news affecting you. thanks for watching. ah. blue ah ah, by the middle of the 19th century, practically the whole of india had been under the rule of the british empire. the
12:56 am
colonial authorities had imposed that heavy death bringing the people into poverty and were exporting natural resources. and moreover, these authorities absolutely had no consideration for the traditions of the local population, treating them like 2nd class citizens. the british were showing signs of disrespect even to those who cooperated with them. the fact of ignoring the religious beliefs of the hindus led to the mute, neo busy boys, mercenary soldiers serving under the british crown. 3000000000 began on the 10th of may 1857 in the garrison town of may river, north of india. in the form of a mutiny. the rebels quickly took over daily. the heroic resistance of the indian people lasted for one and a half years. however, the forces were not equal to the colonial authorities dealt with the rebels cruelly . the slaves, the boys were tied to the mouth of the cannon and were shot right through their bodies for the amusement of the public. this type of execution was called the
12:57 am
devil's with the obliteration of the mutiny resulted in the death of 800000 inhabitants of india. however, the british empire never broke the free spirit of the indians and their will for resistance. ah, ah ah,
