This is a serious problem.

I have heard discussions on Father Spitzer’s Universe (a radio show on EWTN Catholic stations nationwide.)

He is staunchly politically conservative. He referenced more than once the Scandinavian beginning incidents of “non voluntary assisted suicide” in which the hospital and health plan board figures out-—NOT the person or their family——when a person is costing too much to the taxpayers to go on living (in essence). Called “quality of life” in which they make the decision a person has sounded “depressed” and “hopeless” and thus is given the verdict of being shut off from further medical help or machines and given an injection to kill them (!)

One case nurses elsewhere heard the screams and yelling of an old woman saying “No, I don’t want to die. Don’t do it. I want to live.” Later she was taken away to the morgue. They were told the woman had been held down and injected.

Father Spitzer said this all violates the true respect for human life at both ends, the baby’s first life as a zygote but then being killed in abortion, and the elderly person’s declining health and wants to go on living but is euthanized. Both wrong.

It’s interesting to see the Catholic Church reap what it has sown over the course of many years. State-sponsored euthanasia is the inevitable consequence of having health care systems run by secular governments. And the Church has been instrumental in making that happen everywhere it has exerted any influence at all.

It seems the Nazis won after all.
