Do No Harm?: How the Healthcare Industry Legalized Murder [9781510788930]

Overview

They told us it would only be for the dying.

They lied.

What began as a narrow legal exception for terminally ill Canadians has quietly metastasized into something far more sinister—a state-sanctioned death program that now targets the depressed, the homeless, the disabled, and the traumatized. It has a billing code. It has a lobby, and it’s exploding across the border and into the United States.

In Do No Harm?: How the Healthcare Industry Legalized Murder, combat veteran and mental health advocate Kelsi Sheren pulls back the curtain on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)—a program whose clinical language was designed to make killing sound like care. Drawing on documented cases, parliamentary records, pharmaceutical receipts, and interviews with survivors, whistleblowers, and frontline physicians, Sheren reveals how a system built on the language of compassion has become an architecture of profit—one that finds it cheaper to end a life than to fund the treatment that might save it.

This is the story of Alan Nichols, approved for death because of hearing loss. Of Kathrin Mentler, a thirty-seven-year-old in crisis who walked into a Vancouver hospital looking for help and was asked if she'd considered MAiD instead. Of Christine Gauthier, a Paralympian who called the VA for a wheelchair ramp and was offered assisted death. These are not exceptions. These are the system working exactly as designed.

Unflinching, meticulously researched, and impossible to ignore, Do No Harm? is the book the medical establishment does not want you to read—because once you see what is happening, you cannot unsee it. The question is no longer whether this can happen here. It already is.
