There is an article circulating that claims that the Canadian government has a bill to legalize child euthanasia in Canada. This article is fake news and I hope it remains fake news.

The article is published by a blog called wisethinks.com and republished by a website called NBCM Coalition News.

The article quotes me without providing links to the original comments. I have commented on child euthanasia several times but I have no information about a current proposal to legalize child euthanasia and I have never stated that child euthanasia is legal in Canada.

The growth of euthanasia in Canada is bad enough without fake news stories making it seem worse than it is.
