We frequently talk about how eugenics is the ideological backbone of capitalism and how nearly every aspect of capitalism is rooted in eugenics. This happens even in capitalist countries with “universal” healthcare such as Canada, where a hospital recently killed a baby girl by denying her a much-needed liver transplant. Why? Because she had Down Syndrome.
>Krystal Vanderbrugghen gave birth to her daughter, Veya, in December of 2023. She was born with Down syndrome and a congenital heart defect (CHD). Though Veya was able to have a successful heart repair, she then began experiencing complications with her liver.
>In an interview with Live Action News, Vanderbrugghen said Veya is a medically complex child, but her liver has been an ongoing problem, which took nearly a year to diagnose.
>As the hospital attempted treatment with multiple procedures last year, Veya then contracted Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) — which is mild in adults, but can be life-threatening for infants, the elderly, or people with compromised immune systems. “That really knocked her down,” Vanderbrugghen said.But then, this year, something even more frightening occurred.
>“… [T]he more alarming thing that happened was she was overdosed on January 6th of this year with potassium… 10 times the amount of what she normally receives,” Vanderbrugghen told Live Action News. “… [S]he usually gets two doses of potassium in a day. Each are drawn up as 1.5 milliliters. And on that day, she got two syringes filled with 15 milliliters of potassium. So that sent her heart rate to 350 beats per minute, and they had to use cardioversion shocks on her three times to stabilize her.”
>Initially, Vanderbrugghen assumed it was an honest mistake. But due to subsequent events, she’s now questioning if it was truly an accident.
>Just two weeks after this terrifying incident in January, the family met with Veya’s team of doctors treating her liver condition. “… [E]verything we’ve done so far has not been successful,” said Vanderbrugghen. “And that’s when we learned that she was denied a transplant, which left us questioning a lot of things.”
>The reason for the family’s confusion is because all of Veya’s “individual system teams — like cardiology, nephrology, respirology, all of them — said she would do great, and she’s allowed to go for the liver transplant,” she said. The transplant team seeks feedback from those teams to help determine whether a transplant is a good course of action.
>“But [the transplant team] decided that they were looking at the big picture and said no,” Vanderbrugghen said. “And so I’ve been asking for six months, what is this ‘big picture’?”
>When Vanderbrugghen challenged Veya’s medical team, she said she was then told that the doctors “need to think about the live donor. If it’s not successful, we don’t want to put them through it.”
>Vanderbrugghen argued that “consenting adults” can choose whether or not to take the risk, “knowing that it may work or it may not work” — and urged the transplant team to leave the decision to the donor or donors.https://www.liveaction.org/news/mom-fights-save-daughter-canadian-healthcare-dead/This disabled baby later died of her illness on August 1. She was 20 months old and slept her entire life at the mercy of doctors who routinely denied her care BECAUSE of her disability.
So why aren’t comrades up in arms about this? Denying a baby with Down Syndrome an organ transplant because of their disability and “quality of life” sets a dangerous precedent. Imagine if autistic people were denied lifesaving care in the basis our “quality of life” wouldn’t improve and scarce organs should only go to allistic people instead? Canada is already in the middle of legalizing MAiD for neurodivergent differences just like they push MAiD on people with physical disabilities. They literally want all disabled people eradicated.
We need to stop this and demand action against eugenics.
RIP Veya and all other disabled people killed by eugenics

Amen 🙏🙏🙏
>>2420528It means that the parents’ theological views are clouding their rational decision-making.
Look, if they want to sue the hospital then fine. They’ll lose the lawsuit and come out with egg on their faces. Or every judge will toss the case out saying they don’t have one.
>>2420541Do you think that socialism will automatically create endless supplies of organs of the correct blood type?
>based on their usefulness to capitalismI hate to break it to you but there will be a big overlap between people who are useful to capitalism and those who are useful to socialism.

>>2421116>No way that was an isolated incident.So isolated that it's protocol to anaesthetise "brain dead" patients prior to organ harvesting.
Why would anyone need to anaesthetise someone that is…already dead?
>>2421520holy shit lmao
>>2418901>mothers are tricked by the clinics into handing over their dead fetus’ remains to procurement agencies this reminds me of the thread i made about wanting to eat a dead foetus
>>>/siberia/690848 >>2421349To be honest, health eugenics doesn’t bother me nearly as much as class eugenics.
I’d much rather see people denied care because they’re too disabled and care would be a waste of resources, than seeing people denied care because they’re too poor and can’t afford it,

>>2423114>>2423092Example number 30394842 of blue hair leftist retards on college campuses that think the suprestructure of imperialist society, a parasitic rentier state, is superior to the superstrucutre of socialist societies whos economic base is based off their own hard work and with workers in charge
Ie. their wealth is based off their own hard work, ingenuity and not because they have guns pointed at Haitains demanding they sew clothes for 20 cents an hour or children mining cobalt in the Congo for high tech
