A new proposal would allow Scottish citizens who live in rural areas to have their requests for assisted suicide approved over Zoom. These telemed consultations would take the place of important in-person visits, where a patient is assessed and counseled to ensure he or she is making the request in a sound state of mind before receiving approval for assisted suicide. Critics say the idea of telemed assisted suicide shows a “callous indifference for the value of human life.”
Per the proposed bill, assisted suicide would be available to terminally ill people over the age of 16. Any patient who wishes to receive the fatal drugs must first meet with two doctors who must agree that the person is mentally competent and is not under coercion.

Dr. Macdonald spoke frankly about the dangers of such an outlook. “The emphasis of these brutal proposals is on telling people that they are costing too much to stay alive and would save the country substantial amounts by being put to death,” he said. “To add insult to injury, they do not even merit a face-to-face consultation with a doctor who will decide by Zoom or something similar that individuals […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
