Doctors in Canada have said euthanasia for newborn babies who are born with disabilities “may be an appropriate treatment”, as concerns grow about the expansion of Canada’s euthanasia and assisted suicide programme.

Speaking on behalf of the Quebec College of Physicians (CMQ) to the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying, Dr Louis Roy previously recommended that euthanasia be introduced for babies with “severe deformations” and “very grave… medical syndromes”. Earlier this week, the CMQ reiterated their position.

Wesley J. Smith, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute’s Center on Human Exceptionalism, said “Canada has jumped so enthusiastically into the euthanasia abyss that I have little doubt that infanticide will eventually be allowed there. It’s only logical. If killing is an acceptable answer to suffering, why limit the killing to adults?”.

The post never materializes though, because I always come back to a certain sticking point, which is that the show tries really, really hard to convince me that stealing cocktail weenies at a party is, like, weird, and I'm like, okay. Except everyone does that. That is so normal. Yeah, if you're a trillionaire doing it to save money, that's kinda funny. And of course it's over-exaggerated, because it's a cartoon, but like, the thing itself? One of the most normal things he does in the whole show. It's almost too normal.

But the thing is, the scene seems so completely and unwaveringly committed to the core joke being that this is weird behavior that I have started to wonder if I'm having a pelican-fucking moment. Does everyone do that? Or am I the weird one here? Now I realize I'm asking Tumblr to judge the weirdness of my behavior here but I'm a little bit afraid of having this conversation in real life now. Yes I'm aware you can buy cocktail weenies from the grocery store and they're not that expensive but they taste better if you steal them okay. To be clear the level of stealing I'm talking about is I bring ziplock baggies but never more than 2 because there are other people there who also want cocktail weenies, I'm not an animal, and because I know someone's going to ask no I do not have plastic lined pockets that I fill with dip, that's the cartoonish exaggeration I was talking about.

You do not want me to go on.
