Netherlands doctors are euthanizing people with autism, intellectual disabilities: study
NY Post ^ | 06/29/2023 | Allie Griffin

Several Dutch citizens who had autism or other intellectual disabilities have died by physician-assisted suicide in recent years after doctors determined their afflictions were untreatable obstacles to a normal life, researchers found.

Nearly 40 people who identified as autistic or intellectually disabled were legally euthanized in the Netherlands between 2012 and 2021, according to a Kingston University investigation of Dutch euthanasia cases.

Five people younger than 30 who were killed at their own request cited autism as the sole or a major reason for their decision to end their lives, the UK study found.

With those cases, experts have questioned whether the law allowing doctors to kill suicidal patients via lethal injections has strayed too far from its initial intentions when passed in 2002.

Did the Netherland not learn anything from the Nazi occupation?

Apparently they learned too much.

I wonder when that expands to farmers who won’t give up their land?

It’s not a big jump to think someone questioning climate change or the entire woke agenda as being intellectually disabled and euthanized.

I’m waiting on left to start using term “useless eaters” to describe those who disagree with their ideology.

Apparently they learned how to do it and get away with it.

The Nazi started with euthanasia laws, then just administratively reinterpreted the meaning of “disabled” to mean anyone they wanted to kill.

It was all very “legal”.

Leftists like to play with word that’s way.

The Powers and Principalities over that region are feeling emboldened.

That freak, Yuval Noah Harari, has already talked about a "useless class." Useless to whom? Useless to what?

A lot of Dutch were good little Nazis during the war. The Netherlands had the highest per capita percentage of volunteers for the Waffen SS of any occupied country.

Belgium was close, I bet.

Belgium is really three tiny countries stuck together.

One area still celebrates its Nazis and was considered more German than Germany.

Oh yeah, this one was a real piece of work, as well.
