Canadian military veterans living with serious injuries or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are being offered assisted deaths by officials without first raising it themselves.
An investigation by the Daily Mail has discovered a number of cases of veterans in Canada being offered assisted deaths unprompted in response to requests for assistance in living. David Baltzer, a former soldier who served two tours in Afghanistan, reached out to Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) after struggling to reintegrate into civilian life. Instead of being provided with the help he needed, he was asked if he had considered ending his life.
