Healthcare Serial Killer Loves Her Job. Really.
A doctor giggled as she described killing people, 'the best work' she's ever done.
British actress, comedian and disability rights activist, Liz Carr, produced a BBC documentary titled - Better off Dead? that was first aired on May 14. Carr is best known for her role as Clarissa Mullery on the BBC series Silent Witness.
One of the scenes in the Better off Dead? documentary features Carr interviewing euthanasia doctor, Ellen Wiebe. (Link to the scene)
David Kraydon wrote an article that was published in The Post Millennial on October 9 concerning Carr's documentary. Kraydon states that Wiebe says when Carr asks her about euthanasia:
“I love my job. You know, I always loved being a doctor and I delivered over a thousand babies, and I took care of families, but this is the very best work I've ever done in the last seven years. And people ask me why? And I think, well, doctors like grateful patients, and nobody's more grateful than my patients now and their families.”
When Carr wonders if Wiebe was concerned that Canada’s euthanasia program will go too far, Wiebe shuts down that debate. Kraydon writes:
“What you're saying is to protect what you consider vulnerable people. You are condemning others to unbearable suffering, unbearable suffering, and I am so glad, so glad that I'm Canadian and that we have this law so that people can choose that or not choose that, but to say that somebody has to suffer like that is simply cruel,”
Viewers were shocked when Wiebe giggled when talking about euthanasia.
Professor Christopher Lyon told National Post writer Sharon Kirkey that:
“Some providers have counts in the hundreds — this isn’t normal, for any occupation,” he said. “Even members of the military at war do not typically kill that frequently. I think that’s a question that we’ve not really ever asked.”
Lyon recently published an article concerning health-care serial killers and Canada's euthanasia law.
Ellen Wiebe may be Canada's most prolific euthanasia doctor having killed hundreds.
