(LifeSiteNews) — The Quebec College of Physicians has stated that euthanasia is “appropriate treatment” for babies born with severe health problems.
In an interview with LifeSiteNews, the Quebec College of Physicians confirmed its support of expanding Canada’s euthanasia regime to include babies born with severe deformities or syndromes.
“The CMQ reiterates that medical assistance in dying may be an appropriate treatment for babies suffering from extreme pain that cannot be relieved and who have severe malformations or serious polysymptomatic syndromes that destroy any prospect of survival,” a spokesperson for the college told LifeSiteNews.

“The CMQ believes that parents should have the opportunity to obtain this care for their infant under these well-defined circumstances,” the statement continued, referring to infanticide as “care.”
Assisted suicide was legalized by the Liberal government of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2016.
Since then, the euthanasia regime has expanded from killing “terminally ill” patients to allowing the chronically ill to qualify for assisted suicide after the passage of Bill C-7.

Liberals also planned to expand assisted suicide to mentally ill Canadians but decided to delay the expansion until 2027 after backlash from Canadians and prominent doctors.
Furthermore, Quebec, known as a Liberal province, has been at the forefront of the push to legalize infanticide.
In November 2024, Alberta MP Damien C. Kurek presented a petition to protect babies after a recommendation, presented by Louis Roy of the Quebec College of Physicians, pushed for the murder of babies up to 12 months old if they are born with “severe deformities and very serious syndromes.”

As shocking as the calls for infanticide are, they are consistent with the culture of death promoted by the Liberal government. In fact, data has revealed that hundreds of babies who survive abortions in Canada are left to die.
According to a Quebec study, one in 10 babies aborted in the second trimester are born alive, but only 10 percent live over three hours. Additionally, only 24 percent of the babies born alive were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), while only five percent received palliative care.
Since Canada has no laws surrounding age for abortions, many have blurred the line between abortion and infanticide, arguing that the latter is merely a late-term abortion.
In July, Liberal MP Dr. Hedy Fry bizarrely implied that “newborns” face increased health risks as “extreme right” governments restrict abortion, a practice whose sole purpose to kill babies.
As LifeSiteNews previously reported, the then-Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government refused in 2013 to investigate Statistics Canada data that reported that 491 babies were left to die after they were born alive following abortions.
“Abortion is legal in Canada,” Harper said at the time.
Similarly, in 2011, an Alberta judge suggested that infanticide is merely a late-term abortion while ruling in a case where a young mother strangled her newborn and tossed the child’s corpse over the fence into the yard of one of her neighbors.
Indeed, infanticide is often the next step for abortion activists who deny the dignity of human life, with some abortionists actively killing children who have survived abortion.
