Assisted suicide advocates: "It works well in other countries!" Reality: In the Netherlands, around 40% of euthanasia deaths are performed without the patient's consent. Below is the crazy way one prominent euthanasia advocate justifies this
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
Robert Young wrote the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on euthanasia. He freely admits that around 40% of cases are without the patient's consent: "of those terminally ill persons who have been assisted to die about sixty per cent have clearly been cases of voluntary euthanasia as it has been characterised in this entry; of the remainder, the vast majority of cases were of patients who at the time of their medically assisted deaths were no longer competent." https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/euthanasia-voluntary/
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
This is chilling - he nonchalantly says that "the vast majority" of non-voluntary cases involved a patient who is not competent - that is to say, some of these cases involve a competent patient being euthanised without agreeing to it. This is literally murder.
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
But it gets crazier. Young says: "It might be thought that these deaths ought to be regarded as instances of non-voluntary euthanasia. But, in fact, it would be inappropriate to regard them as such. Here is why. For the overwhelming majority of these cases, the decisions to end life were taken only after consultation between the attending doctor(s) and close family members, and so can legitimately be thought of as involving substituted judgements."
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
Do you see what he is saying? You might think that killing the patient without consent should count as non-voluntary euthanasia - but don't worry, it is still voluntary, because there is a "substituted judgement" - i.e. at least there is someone deciding to kill the patient! Who cares whether it is the patient themselves or their family members or doctors?
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
These are clear-cut cases of murder. Non-consensual euthanasia - i.e. murder - has become so tolerated in places like the Netherlands and in euthanasia advocacy circles that Young doesn't even seem to realise how insane he sounds. What is to stop this happening in the UK? If "substituted judgements" count as consensual decisions to be euthanised, then what is to stop doctors and family members making "substituted judgements" for patients and euthanising them once they become inconvenient? This must be stopped!

🚩🚩🚩 Shadowy dark money behind the assisted suicide/euthanasia bill connected to American global population reduction organisations This is one of the most sinister things I've ever discovered 🧵
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
Kim Leadbeater, who sponsored this bill, is the Chair of More in Common UK - incidentally not recorded on the Register of MPs interests (https://members.parliament.uk/members/commons/interests/publications) More in Common has been pushing a lot of the polling in favour of assisted suicide in the media recently.
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
This whole campaign is obviously extremely well funded. They have way more publicity than the anti-euthanasia side, e.g. seemingly hiring out half the billboards on London Underground - especially at Westminster where the tunnels are full of them! So who funds More in Common?
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
This is where things get super creepy. The More in Common global website shows that they are funded by various groups. One of their primary funders listed is the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. This organisation has had as one of its core aims, for many decades, the depopulation of the planet. Since 1967 they have given nearly half a billion dollars through their Population Program. https://www.moreincommon.com/about-us/funding/ https://hewlett.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/PopulationBrochureEnglish.pdf
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
See e.g. their detailed "Population Program Strategic Plan" from 2004: "Many areas of urgent need remain" in "reducing population growth rates"! Most of this is for the developing world - note that they are actually aiming for Asia to have a below replacement fertility rate - but killing people in the developed world will also help! https://hewlett.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/PopulationProgramStrategicPlan.pdf
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
This isn't incidental. Their brochure on the entire program says that one of their two core aims is depopulation: https://hewlett.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/PopulationBrochureEnglish.pdf
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
More in Common also has the European Climate Foundation as a major donor (depopulation is an enormous part of climate activism, recall) and - you guessed it - George Soros' Open Society Foundations. I don't think we need to add much more at this point.
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
Remember that a key argument for euthanasia historically has been the economic burden of elderly people, and now they are seen as an environmental burden too. This is why the Netherlands has been moving towards allowing euthanasia simply for people with a "completed life" from around 70 years old or so.
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
Remember Baroness Warnock, who had a huge influence on medical ethics policy in the UK, suggested that dementia sufferers may have a "duty" to die! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2983652/Baroness-Warnock-Dementia-sufferers-may-have-a-duty-to-die.html
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
Or recall Jacques Attali, the prominent European statesman and former head of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development: “As soon as he gets beyond 60-65 years of age, man lives beyond his capacity to produce, and he costs society a lot of money … euthanasia will be one of the essential instruments of our future societies.”
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
The rest of More in Common is par for the course: their global board is full of WEF types and the usual suspects (https://www.moreincommon.com/about-us/governance/). No big surprises. So the question we have to ask is: what role is the euthanasia bill playing in the global depopulation agenda spearheaded by More in Common's backers? What role is More in Common playing in this? And what role is Kim Leadbeater - who has not listed More in Common on the register of interests - playing too?
@DrCalumMiller - Dr. Calum Miller
Thank you @CharlotteCGill for some of these tips! @elonmusk may be interested in the euthanasia/depopulation connection!

A couple of people have suggested that Kim Leadbeater and her bill have no association with More in Common UK, because her primary connection is with More in Common Batley and Spen. Here's why that's not convincing. It looks like her "Chair" position is for the local organisation, this is true. This was unclear: she is typically simply referred to as the Chair of "More in Common", neglecting that this is just the local group. Moreover, because the More in Common groups and networks appear to be mostly organised through the Jo Cox Foundation, very little is known about their governance and their connection with More in Common UK, the think tank, which was registered as a company limited by guarantee and therefore difficult to scrutinise. Neither Kim's connections to the Jo Cox Foundation, nor any of the various More in Common entities are mentioned in the register of interests. The only things mentioned there are a variety of football matches, a £10k donation from Labour Together, and a £10k donation from a mysterious James Flinders, about whom little is known but whose apparent X account is full of assisted suicide content: But here is why it is silly gaslighting to suggest that there is no relationship between them all. Kim also played a significant role in uniting similar groups across the UK as the More in Common Network, primarily through the Great Get Together, an annual event. This was organised by Kim Leadbeater and Brendan Cox, the widower of tragically murdered MP Jo Cox (Kim's sister): https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jun/17/jo-cox-the-great-get-together-more-in-common-brendan-cox-news-james-tapper More in Common UK was set up by the same individual, Brendan Cox, as a response to Jo's murder, and with a number of Jo's friends (Tim Dixon, Gemma Mortensen, and later Mable Oranje) who helped organise a memorial event for Jo that Kim spoke at: https://www.timeout.com/london/blog/celebrate-jo-coxs-life-and-mark-her-birthday-in-trafalgar-square-on-wednesday-061816 https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/10900540/filing-history?page=1 Even The Guardian writes that all the More in Common groups are connected: "Almost spontaneously, a group called More in Common was formed and Kim ended up chairing it. From that developed The Great Get Together... More in Common – the name comes from Cox’s indelible quote “we have more in common than that which divides us” – now has partners in France and Germany and the US. The original group still meets locally, too" https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jun/17/jo-cox-sister-kim-leadbeater-interview-murdered-labour-mp Obviously, the countries mentioned are those in the global "More in Common" group which receives all that dark money: https://www.moreincommon.com/about-us/our-dna/ The Guardian mentions in the same article that Brendan had to stand down from both the Jo Cox Foundation and More in Common after multiple sexual allegations against him, noting that Kim referred to his huge part in setting up the foundation. In a separate article, "Leadbeater said she would also continue the work of More in Common and the Jo Cox Foundation." after Brendan left: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/feb/18/brendan-cox-resigns-from-charities-amid-sexual-assault-claims Moreover, the global More in Common website says that "More in Common worked closely with the Jo Cox Foundation to create the Great Get Together in the United Kingdom in 2017, and then make it an annual national moment under the Foundation’s auspices." https://www.moreincommon.com/our-work/initiatives/ To pretend that the global More in Common (of which More in Common UK is a constituent) has nothing to do with Leadbeater's local movement is gaslighting at its finest. They "worked closely to create" their key project! Even without all this digging, however, it is just obvious that More in Common UK - which is part of More in Common global, which receives all the dark money - is pushing for this bill. If you go on their website (https://www.moreincommon.org.uk/), the assisted dying polling is front page, even before their welcome section. And if you read the full report, it provides exactly the same messaging as Kim (we should legalise it but with "robust safeguards!!!!" and "just let it pass Second Reading to Committee stage and then we can fix everything!"). So spare me this gaslighting about Kim and her bill having nothing to do with the dark money. All the More in Commons are deeply connected to the bill and to the Leadbeater/Cox families, are clearly pushing for this bill to go through, and - as I said all along - are dependent on the anti-human, pro-death dark money that I described throughout this thread.
