It is so heartening to see a young lady like Lia have an appreciation of life at such a young age.
13-year-old Lia Mills, who wowed judges and garnered widespread international attention last year for her bold speech on abortion (a video of that speech has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times), has taken on euthanasia this year.
In another powerful and articulate address, the young Toronto native explores the devastating consequences Canada would face if it welcomed euthanasia, and implores Canadians to find ways of caring for suffering patients rather than killing them.
"Imagine a society where people live in constant fear of their lives,” she begins, “where hospitals don't treat people for their illnesses, but kill them instead, because someone determines that their lives are no longer worth living, where we no longer struggle with accommodating people's disabilities because the disabled are simply disposed of before they become a problem.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, it is precisely this kind of society that is waiting for us if we openly embrace the concept of euthanasia,” she continues.
Lia has also spoken out on abortion; HERE is my earlier post on that.
