More Than 27,000 People Have Died by Euthanasia in Belgium
Live Action ^ | 12/28/22 | Marianne Brown

A recent report reveals that the number of people killed by euthanasia has dramatically increased since it was legalized in Belgium in 2002. Since then, euthanasia has killed more than 27,000 people in the nation.

Euthanasia became legal in 2002 due to the introduction of an exception to the law prohibiting the killing of others. The exception offered a “solution” to adult patients who had a “serious and incurable” disease that was causing them great suffering. It was hoped that this exception would put an end to the covert euthanasia that was being practiced.

Since its legalization, euthanasia has killed over 27,000 Belgian people — but that is only the number of deaths being recorded. The actual number of euthanized deaths is assumed to be much higher. According to the report:

[T]he Commission does not have the possibility of evaluating the proportion of the number of euthanasia’s declared in relation to the number of euthanasia’s actually performed. In other words, these figures only reflect part of the reality of euthanasia in Belgium.

From the article: It was hoped that this exception would put an end to the covert euthanasia that was being practiced.

Legalizing killing human beings has always resulted in more killing.

What is wrong with keeping it “covert”? Then it really is rare, and when it happens, can be prosecuted.

What I’d like to know is how many people in Europe have died from ‘”Youth” from ‘Asia’ ‘ (like their media call their muslim refugees.)

Between August 1942 and July 1944, around 25,500 Jews and 350 Roma were deported from Belgium; more than 24,000 were killed before the camps were liberated by the Allies.

So, in terms of systematic killing, Belgium is a bit ahead of last time.

They had a lot of practice in The Congo.

Euthanasia is here in the US...legally...it's simply wearing lipstick and a tshirt reading "comfort."

For end-of-life situations in the US, you MUST be on guard for the pro-euthanasia people dressed in lab coats and scrubs. I know of instances where "Comfort Care" becomes no food and water under the theory that nutrition is "curative."

I've read of instances where the morphine drip to make the patient "comfortable" can become a murder weapon in the hand of an Angel of Death...and nobody would ever know.

If they ever pay reparations for the Congo, it will cost them an arm and a leg.

Ezekiel Emmanuel is smiling (no doubt a disgusting smile). Ezekiel is the chief architect of the insane Obamacare debacle. He has stated that no one should live past 75 years, that ‘one has lived long enough’ at 75, and will probably not contribute anything more of any substance or importance. Obama followed his example. When asked about a specific grandmother, who with a knee replacement would regain her mobility, he recommended pills to help her with the pain, for however much longer she might be alive.

“Covert euthanasia” is a thing in the US as well.

When the hospice nurse says, “Make sure you don’t do this….”

“ INTERNATIONAL More than 27,000 people have died by euthanasia in Belgium”

How many of the 27,000 were Africans and Muslims?
