Canadian Family Seek Asylum in U.S. After Trudeau Regime Threatens to Euthanize Disabled Son

A Canadian family has fled to America after the Trudeau regime threatened to euthanize their disabled son and harvest his organs.

In October 2024, two-year-old Arthur Tétrault from Montreal, Canada, nearly drowned and was rushed to hospital. Doctors at Montreal Children’s Hospital informed his parents, Nicolas and his wife, that Arthur had suffered brain damage. They threatened to remove him from life support and harvest his organs as he was a drain on the state and considered ‘too useless’ to be kept alive.

Lifenews.com reports: “They wouldn’t do a tracheostomy, and instead, were keeping him heavily sedated and told the parents, ‘He’ll have no quality of life, he’s going to be a vegetable,’ etc.,” Harch said.

“Here he was, heavily sedated in the hospital up there, and they’re telling the parents essentially that he will die and or be vegetative the rest of his life,” Harch said. “They can’t make that statement. They don’t really know that for sure.”

Doctors were “constantly talking about” harvesting Arthur’s organs, according to Tétrault.

“They were killing him with all these drugs, and they were justifying the fact that they were promoting to harvest the organs and give them away,” he said. “They were talking about it all the time.”

“They don’t force you, but the way it’s done, it’s kind of a strong marketing from the head of the pediatric unit,” he said. “Everybody talks about it over there.”

“My wife and I, they brought us in a death squad meeting and they told us basically, Arthur would be unplugged on Nov. 29,” Tétrault said.

Disagreeing with this prognosis, the Tétraults transferred Arthur to Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans, USA, where he was weaned off the ventilator. Under the care of Dr. Paul Harch, a specialist in brain injury treatment, Arthur began hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Dr. Harch noted that Arthur’s condition was improving, with increased responsiveness and movement.

Since Harch has been caring for Arthur at Ochsner Medical Center, the boy has shown significant signs of improvement. Harch said doctors have now given the boy a tracheostomy, are weaning him off sedatives, and treated him with “normobaric” oxygen, which doctors refused to give Arthur in Canada.

“He is moving more and he is more alert and awake,” Harch said.

The Tétraults’ experience highlights differences between Canadian and American medical practices, particularly regarding end-of-life decisions and patient autonomy. It also puts a spotlight on the euthanasia culture Canada has developed, where doctors promote death instead of life as a solution for patients.

In Canada, medical professionals can make decisions to withdraw life support without parental consent, whereas in the U.S., parents often have more say in their child’s medical care.

This case underscores the importance of seeking second opinions and exploring alternative treatments when faced with critical medical decisions. Arthur’s situation has sparked discussions about medical ethics, patient rights, and the varying approaches to life support and organ donation in different healthcare systems.

As Alex Schadenberg of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition notes, Canadian doctors are pushing more and more to euthanize patients to harvest their organs.
