Maryanne Spurdle from the Maxim Institute has produced a Discussion Paper "INTERROGATING CHOICE: Euthanasia and the ILLUSION OF AUTONOMY."

The UK has announced their intention to lower the voting age to 16.

Canada plans to include minors in its Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) advances — even excluding parental knowledge and approval.

This follows the established pattern of absurdities in numerous fields: alcohol consumption, sex, driver licensing, education and crime.

Is it driven by an illusion of maturity or some manipulative purpose by lowering standards?

Maryann Spurdle discusses her Discussion Paper on Podcast 294.

And we wind up with the Mail Room and Mrs Producer.
