So England sank to grief. So dawn goes down to gray. Nobody old can stay.<\/p>\n

The U.K. Parliament, by a decent-margin vote, vaulted over the first legislative hurdle for a bill legalizing assisted suicide. The final vote will take place in half a year\u2019s time, but the clock is a mere formality. The bill will assuredly pass into law\u2014the last roll will be, in Roy Bean logic, perfunctory. In another send-up of American lawmaking, the measure\u2019s full text was introduced a mere eighteen days before the first legislative ballot. MP Kim Leadbetter, the bill\u2019s lead cheerleader, took a page out of the Nancy Pelosi playbook: Parliament must first pass the \u201cTerminally Ill Adults (End of Life)\u201d bill to find out what\u2019s fully in it.<\/p>\n

British journalist Ed West<\/a> is always flapping his stiff upper lip about America\u2019s reverse \u201cpsychological colonialism<\/a>\u201d of Britain, including imparting our many woke tenets. But now it seems our Mother Country is taking legislative cues from its emancipated child. Even the legalized life-snuffing law itself is mirrored after similar policy in the King\u2019s former colonies: Australia, Canada, and the depressing winter wonderland of Minnesota<\/a>, whose governor has spent the past month begging<\/a> supporters of his failed Veep campaign not to commit seppuku en masse<\/em>, Jonestown style.<\/p>\n

At least Tim Walz is exhorting blue voters to, in the Deuteronomy<\/em> dialect, \u201cchoose life,\u201d even if he signed into law one of the most liberally lax abortion laws<\/a> in the nation. What\u2019s the Brits\u2019 excuse for bureaucratizing the bier, besides living under the bowled-gloom cast by London\u2019s soiled clouds<\/a>?<\/p>\n

If you guessed the left\u2019s double-tongued insistence on bodily freedom as the pathway to healthy happiness, you\u2019d be on the mark. Assisted \u201cdying,\u201d we\u2019re informed by the better informed Leadbetter, is all about expanding \u201cpersonal choice and autonomy.\u201d After all, suicide is a homophone of \u201cI decide,\u201d is it not?<\/p>\n

OW! It appears MP Leadbetter just tossed a boiled roll at my head. She objects to the s-word being used as a descriptor to her law. Tory MP Danny Kruger committed the same solecism during debate over the bill. He was thusly chastised<\/a> by a miffed Labour MP Catherine Eccles, who fatuously fumed, \u201cIt\u2019s not suicide. That\u2019s offensive. Please correct your language.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you follow? It\u2019s no longer suicide to kill yourself. It\u2019s actually<\/em> freedom\u2019s fulfillment. What\u2019s the next definition to be matted and pretzeled to the point of losing all meaning? Will war be called peace? A Big Mac relabeled a healthy salad? Kamala Harris celebrated as an adept and merited politician?<\/p>\n

As Orwell long recognized<\/a>, by policing language, by draining words of their implicit understanding, you can curtail opposition. Hence the wordplay deployed by backers of assisted offing. What kind of Obergruppenf\u00fchrer<\/em> oaf would be against \u201cpersonal choice\u201d? Why can\u2019t bluenosed fussbudgets just beg off?<\/p>\n

The same objection could be posed to pushers of aided suicide. Why does the perverse practice of self-annihilation necessitate lawful recognition? How is it an expansion of personal rights to employ government hangmen on behalf of someone who can\u2019t uncap a Tylenol bottle? What kind of sad sack requires the state\u2019s stamp of approval to eat a shotgun barrel? Here\u2019s some cold advice: if you\u2019re unable to muster the courage to fling yourself off a bridge, maybe you don\u2019t deserve a doctor sitting you down comfortably in an ergonomic chair before administering your lethal cocktail. And it certainly shouldn\u2019t be reimbursable through your insurance company. The very image of a bespectacled bean counter computing the chargeable cost of self-slaughter is parodic, even grotesque.<\/p>\n

Suicide has repulsive connotations, because the concept\u2014the deliberate taking of one\u2019s life, often with sanguine aftermath\u2014inspires aversion within our natural proclivity for survival. If you walk into the street and a car careens around a corner and scuds toward you, your brain shoots reflexive synapses to your legs, ordering a leap to safety. But to stay put and brace for fateful impact? Choosing death is an affront to God, nature, or common sense\u2014whatever your metaphysical mileage may be.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(Camus famously called suicide the \u201cone truly serious philosophical problem.\u201d Sounds like Mr. Existential should have traded tomes for more soaks at Les Sablettes<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

A society abetting its own destruction isn\u2019t interested in personal liberation. So why is the neoliberal coalition of liberal technocrats like Leadbetter and conservative money-pinchers like former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak<\/a> on board with sanctioned felo de se<\/em>? The proof is in the pecuniary. The National Health Service is a perennial pound-burner<\/a>. For the good of the fisc, why not gently goad grandma into giving up the ghost a few years earlier than she was expecting, so she\u2019s not running up a dole tab on feeding tubes, ventilators, and round-the-clock care aides? In the bureaucratic cosmovision, compassion is in the heart of the collective. Sacrifices must be made\u2014not by the dimwitted, impressionable, or mentally slow, of course. But by the responsible, sacrificial, liver-spotted population who\u2019ve had their turn on the earth\u2019s fine tilt, and should make room for those who can hoist themselves off the loo without snapping a tibia.<\/p>\n

Safeguards, the Britons are well assured, will be established to protect the vulnerable. Any adventurous soul who musters up the courage to throw in the towel will be vetted for mental deficiency, outside influence, or even pressure from vulturine in-laws eager for inheritance. Only the most diligent administrators will be made daimyos of death.<\/p>\n

But as anyone who\u2019s ever had a tax issue with the IRS knows, the smoothest running bureaucracies can hit a bum note. And with the provisioning of poison, any mistake is more than an accounting blunder or an Excel error\u2014it\u2019s an execution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Canadian whistleblower recently disclosed a trove of documents<\/a> detailing hundreds of instances where Ontarian authorities failed to follow the medical assistance in dying (MAID) regulations. Most egregious of the violations were cases in which \u201cpatients who were euthanized who may not have been capable of consent.\u201d Worse, the negligent practitioners were never referred to law enforcement for actually killing someone who did not want to die<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I know Canadians have trouble with lexical accuracy\u2014they call cheese fries \u201cpoutine\u201d for maple leaf\u2019s sake\u2014but most Westerners would name the dispatching of a hapless individual a murder<\/em>. Bah! Those dastardly words and definitions are just so mean<\/em> by Canada\u2019s be-nice standards.<\/p>\n

Ashley Frawley calls<\/a> \u201cassisted dying\u201d the \u201cquintessential policy of our times,\u201d because it brings the Grim Reaper under government control. What\u2019s sold as a benison of liberty is really just a craven calculus to shave down entitlement spends. The public actuaries get their heads and<\/em> their budget surplus.<\/p>\n

Euthanasia supporters would do well to read the closing lines of Chesterton\u2019s \u201cA Ballade of Suicide\u201d and find life and hope beyond cold utility:<\/p>\n

Rationalists are growing rational\u2013\/And through thick woods one finds a stream astray\/So secret that the very sky seems small\u2013\/I think I will not hang myself to-day.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
