(LifeSiteNews) — A Quebec doctors’ group has again said that killing babies is “appropriate treatment” for babies born with severe deformations, unrelievable “extreme pain,” or health conditions with a fatal prognosis.
The Quebec College of Physicians recently told the Daily Mail on Monday it “reiterates that medical assistance in dying may be an appropriate treatment for babies suffering from extreme pain that cannot be relieved and who have severe malformations or serious polysymptomatic syndromes that destroy any prospect of survival.”
While direct euthanasia of newborns is not currently legal in Canada, parents may withhold or withdraw treatments for disabled babies.
Euthanasia of adults under certain conditions has been legal in Canada since 2016 through the Medical Assistance in Dying program, enacted under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The country plans to expand assisted suicide to mentally ill Canadians in 2027, delaying due to backlash from Canadians and prominent doctors.
The proposal to allow infanticide has already been presented in Parliament. In November 2024, Alberta MP Damien C. Kurek presented a petition to protect babies after a recommendation put forth by Louis Roy of the Quebec College of Physicians pushed for the murder of babies up to 12 months old if they are born with “severe deformities and very serious syndromes.”
As shocking as the calls for infanticide are, they are consistent with the culture of death promoted by the Liberal government. In fact, data has revealed that hundreds of babies who survive abortions in Canada are left to die.
According to a Quebec study, one in 10 babies aborted in the second trimester are born alive, but only 10 percent live over three hours. Additionally, only 24 percent of the babies born alive were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and only five percent received palliative care.
Because Canada has no laws surrounding age for abortions, many have blurred the line between abortion and infanticide, arguing that the latter is merely a late-term abortion.
Last year, Liberal MP Dr. Hedy Fry ironically implied that “newborns” face increased health risks as “extreme right” governments restrict abortion, a practice whose sole purpose to kill babies.
As LifeSiteNews previously reported, then-Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government refused in 2013 to investigate Statistics Canada data that reported that 491 babies were left to die after they were born alive following abortions.
