A woman in Canada has requested euthanasia due to bipolar disorder; however, that death has been blocked by a Canadian judge’s injunction.<\/p>\n

CTV News Vancouver reported<\/a> that notorious euthanasia practitioner Ellen Wiebe has been blocked by Justice Simon R. Coval from euthanizing the anonymous woman. Under current Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) regulations, people whose sole diagnosis is mental illness are not eligible for euthanasia.<\/p>\n

The woman in question said she had been diagnosed with \u201cakathisia,\u201d a condition that causes restlessness or an inability to sit still, sometimes as a side effect of psychotropic medication. The woman was regularly asking her doctors to kill her, but they told her that her condition was treatable – so she began looking elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this case, (the woman) is actively pursuing death, over the objections of the physicians who actively treat her. She has come to B.C. because she was able to find someone in B.C. who would approve,\u201d the court application said. \u201cThis case raises serious questions about whether (the woman) in fact qualifies for MAID Track 2. Particularly concerning is that akathisia appears to be a cluster of symptoms connected to the changes in usage of drugs used to treat a psychiatric condition. It is treatable but (the woman) has not followed treatment recommendations.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is where the woman turned to Wiebe. \u201cShe could not get approval from her own doctors (in her home province), and so started looking online for other doctors who might be open to her request. She eventually found Dr. Ellen Wiebe,\u201d the application said. \u201cAt the end of the first meeting, Dr. Wiebe approved (the woman) for MAID.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wiebe has become notorious for her euthanasia fanaticism; an abortionist and euthanasia practitioner, she says killing her patients is the most rewarding work<\/a> she’s ever done. \u201cI love my job,\u201d she says of helping people to die. \u201cI\u2019ve delivered over 1,000 babies \u2014 but this is the very best work I\u2019ve ever done.\u201d She previously estimated that she has killed approximately 400 people.<\/p>\n

Wiebe was willing to commit the euthanasia even over the objection’s of the woman’s partner.<\/p>\n

Not content with just killing people at the end of their lives, Wiebe also runs an abortion\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/i3rNp6yzQE<\/a><\/p>\n
