UK Veteran in Crisis Illegally Offered Assisted Suicide

This article was published on February 12, 2025 on substack by Kelsi Sheren.

MAiD is 100% illegal in the UK.

This should never have happened. Yet, before the law has even changed, a doctor dangled death as an option to a struggling veteran.

What You Need to Know

MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) is illegal in the UK.

A 25-year UK combat veteran was in crisis and asked for help.

A UK doctor suggested assisted suicide illegally.

The police have been contacted, but will they act?

This is not healthcare. This is not compassion.
This is modern-day eugenics.

Why This Matters to Me

This one hits close to home.

I served in the Canadian Armed Forces as an Artillery Gunner in Afghanistan. During my deployment, I was sent outside the wire to work alongside the British military in OP TORA ARWA.

That mission changed my life.

I was injured and medically released in 2011 with PTSD, hearing loss, and a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Today, I live as a 100% disabled combat veteran.

So when a UK veteran reached out to me today—shattered and heartbroken—I knew I had to speak up.

What Happened in the UK

This is his message to me:

"On Feb 4, 2025, after being offered therapy, counseling, and medication by my GP at Queensway Medical Centre, I had another breakdown at the start of February and was taken to Kettering A&E Hospital. I was seen by a Dr. A, who discussed other treatments to assist me. After I told him nothing seemed to be working, he mentioned MAiD as a suggestion. I was shocked. I immediately asked to be discharged. After they released me, I stormed out of the hospital and took a cab home."

This man is 25 years old.

He did the bravest thing possible—he asked for help.

Instead, a doctor offered him death.

This is illegal. This is a violation of medical ethics.

I have spoken with this veteran, and he is devastated. The Northamptonshire police have been contacted, but whether they will act remains to be seen.

History Repeating Itself

This isn’t the first time.

Since 2016, Canada’s government—with pro-death lobbying groups like Dying with Dignity—has slowly expanded MAiD.

At first, they swore it would only be for the terminally ill.

By 2021, they added Track 2—allowing MAiD for people who are not dying.

Now, it’s being offered to the homeless. To the disabled. To struggling veterans.

In Canada, a veteran called the crisis hotline for help and was offered MAiD.

Now it’s happening in the UK—before a single bill has passed.

We were told this would never happen.
We were told there would be safeguards.
We were told this was about compassion.

They lied.

And if Canada is any indication, this will not stop with terminal patients.
It will not stop with veterans.
It will not stop.

Politicians Said This Would Never Happen—Where Are They Now?

Kim Leadbeater and other UK officials have claimed MAiD would never be misused.

Yet here we are—before any law has passed—and doctors are already pushing euthanasia on those they should be helping.

This is not a slippery slope.

The slope is gone.

What Happens Next?

Make no mistake: If this is happening now, before the law has changed, what will happen once assisted dying becomes legal?

If you're reading this, you are now a witness.

Now the question is—will you do something about it?

Call to Action—Speak Up Before It’s Too Late

This cannot be ignored. Share this now—before it’s too late.

Email your MP. Contact the media. Make noise.

If we do nothing, more vulnerable people will be targeted.

Veterans, This is Personal.

If this can happen to one of us, it can happen to any of us.
We must speak up before it’s too late.

This is not compassion.
This is not healthcare.
This is eugenics.
