In other words, people who arent even dying should be allowed to ask their doctors to kill them. (head shaking)

Who's still exempt from killing over there? Anyone?
Rather than waste any more time figuring out new guidelines, the whole country should just do a Jonestown & get it over with.

2. Euthanasia
Often disguised by the name "mercy killing," euthanasia also is a form of homicide. No person has a right to take his own life, and no one has the right to take the life of any innocent person.
In euthanasia, the ill or elderly are killed, by action or omission, out of a misplaced sense of compassion, but true compassion cannot include intentionally doing something intrinsically evil to another person (cf. EV 73).

I'm pushing for this kind of law to be applied to UN representatives. The decision o life or death being up to a vote of the host country, of course.

>> The KNMG set up the Dijkhuis Commission in 2001 following the prosecution of a doctor for helping former Dutch senator Edward Brongersma die in 1998. Brongersma, 86,...wrote a number of books and articles defending male homosexual paedophilia. <<
God forbid anyone treat this person for mental illness. It might expose how sick the Dutch government is.

When the Germans started the killing, they claimed that they were euthanizing those whose "life was not worth living."
Lebens Unwertsleben, so war es genannt. Tja.

Well, actually all they are asking is that the doctor who just killed someone "claim" that the victim "asked for it".
One does wonder when this privilege will be extended to other professions ~ for example, they could give it to lawyers so they could more readily dispose of clients who don't pay their fees on time
Or, maybe credit card companies might like this privilege?
The possibilities are endless. And, of course, as long as the state remains pure and free of taint by not exercising the death penalty, who is to complain, eh?!

This is exactly the sort of "slippery slope" that was predicted when "Physician-Assisted Suicide" was enacted here in Oregon, and the Lie-berals protested loudly that no such thing would ever happen and there are adequate safeguards and how can you be for human suffering and and and and and and and and and... yawwwwwwwnnnnn...
One more step, and the "Doctors" will be deiciding for patients "who are unable to make the decision to end their own suffering".
Then, the "Progressives" will legislate that it's OK for "Doctors" to deicide that coma patients should be euthanized to "Harvest" their internal organs so "The Living" can "Enjoy A Better Quality Of Life", "For The Common Good".
Meanwhile, every step of the way, the "Progressives" will protest loudly that the latest "Small Step" is just a "Modest" attempt to "Relieve Human Suffering", and how could anyone object, and there won't be any more small steps, and etc. etc... yaaAAAAAAWWwwwwnnnn....

Read the book by Rick Warren "The Purpose Driven Life" or at least the booklet "What on Earth am I here for?" There's a wonderful section entitled "You Are Not an Accident" -- The book is a 40-day spiritual retreat.
Highly Recommended by Highly Opinionated.
