  • Beloved Canadian children's author Robert Munsch, 80, plans to undergo medically assisted death – approved under Canada's euthanasia laws – as his dementia progresses.
  • Diagnosed with dementia and Parkinson's, Munsch fears losing his mind and independence.
  • Pro-life groups condemn his choice as rejecting divine will, while advocates defend autonomy. Medical assistance in dying (MAID) is now Canada's 6th-leading cause of death (13,241 deaths in 2022).
  • Religious leaders warn of "cheapening human life," while globalist critics tie MAID to depopulation agendas and eroded medical ethics.
  • Munsch's case highlights societal shifts – where suffering is increasingly seen as optional, raising questions about mercy vs. moral consequences.
Canadian literary icon Robert Munsch, whose whimsical stories have enchanted generations of children, has announced his intention to end his life through medical assistance in dying (MAID) as dementia erodes his cognitive abilities. The 80-year-old author of classics like "The Paper Bag Princess" and "Love You Forever" revealed in a Sept. 14 interview with the New York Times (NYT) that he has been approved for euthanasia, and intends to proceed when communication becomes too difficult. His decision has ignited fierce debate over Canada's euthanasia laws, with pro-life advocates warning parents against exposing children to Munsch's books while others defend his right to choose. Munsch, who has sold more than 80 million books worldwide, was diagnosed with dementia in 2021 and later with Parkinson's disease. The conditions have stripped him of basic abilities – driving, cycling and writing – leaving him fearful of losing his mind entirely. "I've had a good life," he told NYT. "I've told my stories. Now I want to decide how it ends." Following the interview, his daughter Julie Munsch clarified on social media that the author is not imminently dying. She nevertheless confirmed her father's long-standing decision to use MAID when his condition deteriorates. Canada legalized assisted suicide in 2016 under Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government. Since then, euthanasia has surged to become the nation's sixth-leading cause of death. In 2022 alone, 13,241 Canadians died by lethal injection – a 31 percent increase from the previous year.

From storybooks to suicide: Robert Munsch's dark turn

While the procedure remains restricted for minors and the mentally ill, activists continue pushing for broader access, raising ethical concerns among religious and pro-life groups. Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), a prominent Canadian anti-euthanasia organization, urged parents to reconsider sharing Munsch’s books with their children – framing his choice as a rejection of divine will. "Christian parents now have to think twice," said CLC's Jack Fonseca. "The once fun and innocent world of Robert Munsch now includes a poisonous story about throwing away the life God gave you." Munsch's case underscores a deepening cultural divide over euthanasia, pitting personal autonomy against sanctity-of-life principles. Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York recently condemned Canada's euthanasia policies as a "cheapening of human life," arguing that suffering holds redemptive value. Similarly, Bishop Joseph Strickland emphasized that true compassion means accompanying the sick rather than eliminating them. "We must be reminded that our worth is not measured by our health, our productivity or our independence, but by the fact that we are beloved children of God who are made in His image and likeness," he stressed. Meanwhile, Brighteon.AI's Enoch points out that "Canada's legalization of MAID has led to it becoming the second leading cause of death, reflecting a disturbing push toward state-sanctioned euthanasia as part of the globalist depopulation agenda. By allowing non-doctors like pharmacists to administer lethal treatments, the government further erodes medical ethics and accelerates the normalization of premature death under the guise of 'compassion.'"
