A woman suffering a mental health crisis, fearing for her own safety because of suicidal inclinations, has been counseled to consider a government “Medical Assistance in Dying” program, according to a report from the Christian Institute in the United Kingdom.
“That day my goal was to keep myself safe. I was thinking of maybe trying to get myself admitted to hospital because I was in crisis,” Kathrin Mentler recalled about her visit to Vancouver General Hospital, in search of psychiatric help, in the report.
“I live with chronic suicidal thoughts but that doesn’t mean I never feel joy in my life,” she explained.
But she was told by a “clinician” no beds were available and she should expect a long wait to see someone as an outpatient.

Then she was asked, “Have you considered MAiD,” by the clinician, who spoke of her “relief” when another patient struggling with mental issues died.
“That made me feel like my life was worthless or a problem that could be solved if I chose MAiD,” Mentler explained in the report.
Said the Christian Institute, “Since legalizing euthanasia in certain circumstances in 2016, Canada has already abolished the requirement for a person to be terminally ill and intends to extend it to those who suffer from mental health problems in 2024.”
Mentler went to the hospitals’ Access and Assessment Centre in June, “because I didn’t want to get into a situation where I would think about taking an overdose of medication.”
The hospital said euthanasia was brought up as part of its procedures.

But Mentler explained, “MAID for mental health is not legal yet, so giving someone the specifics of the process seems wrong. How can this be standard procedure for suicide crisis intervention?”
Deaths from assisted suicide are exploding across Canada, tripling or more between 2017 and 2021.
Mentler, 37, experiences chronic depression and suicidality, and she charges those conditions were aggravated by the trauma of her hospital visit, according to a report in the Globe and Mail.
The report said the issue of assisted suicide has divided doctors and mental health advocates across Canada.
“Publicized cases have fueled criticisms that the life-ending procedure is being offered in lieu of sufficient mental health and social supports. In April, 2022, CTV News reported that a 51-year-old Ontario woman with severe sensitivities to chemicals chose MAID after failing to find affordable housing free of cigarette smoke and chemical cleaners. And last August, Global News reported that a Canadian Forces veteran seeking treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and a traumatic brain injury was unexpectedly offered MAID by a Veterans Affairs Canada employee.”
The report said Mentler had not considered MAiD to resolve her issues, before the clinician said it was a “comfortable” process.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today’s ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film “Sound of Freedom” – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.
According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children’s “right to consent” on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.
“Pedophiles are sitting back right now,” says Ballard, “and going, ‘We’ve been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don’t have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us’ – IN AMERICA!”
Ballard’s concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, “THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION.”
But that’s just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites’ affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled “THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
