Canada’s Euthanasia Experiment Is A Cautionary Tale For The World. Amanda Achtman was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, with mountains, cowboys, and entrepreneurs for inspiration. She studied liberal arts and political theory in her hometown. After making a viral political parody video, she moved to Toronto to do a mix of journalism, crowdfunding, and advocacy in defense of Canadians’ fundamental freedoms. Living the alternation between action and contemplation, she then went to Poland to pursue a master’s degree in John Paul II Philosophical Studies. Upon returning to Canada, she served as the senior advisor to a member of parliament working to prevent the expansion of euthanasia to persons living with a disability or mental illness. Amanda works with Canadian Physicians for Life on ethics education and cultural engagement. She is a 2023-2024 NextGEN Fellow at Cardus and a 2023-2024 at the Tikvah Fund. Determined to protect human life, Amanda’s current priority is preventing euthanasia and encouraging hope through the Dying to Meet You Project. The short films she released received more than 2 million views across social media platforms and were shared by Jordan Peterson, Lila Rose, and more than a dozen parliamentarians. From New York City to the Philippines to Ecuador, she has spoken about Canada’s euthanasia experiment as a cautionary tale to other countries.
