Thread by me.
I was shocked by this assisted suicide scene when Soylent Green first came out-in the early 1970s--and believe me, I was not alone. As the audience left the theater, we assured ourselves, "It can't happen here."
How wrong we were. No one dreamed that less than 40 years later assisted suicide clinics exactly like the one depicted in the movie--absent the beautiful videos--would legally operate in Switzerland, and would service hundreds of people from around the world. Had you told us that a ghoul named Jack Kevorkian, who dreamed of conducting human vivisection, would assist the suicides of some 130 (mostly disabled) people to general societal applause, we would have thought you mad. . .

TORONTO, April 9, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A two month-old child at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, described in the media as "dying," has defied doctor's predictions and continued to live after the removal of a respirator. The respirator was removed in the expectation that the child would stop breathing, and that her heart could then be harvested for transplant. Her parents have expressed their disappointment that another child who is being cared for at the hospital will now not receive their daughter's heart. . .

We are your bad conscience.
The White Rose will give you no rest."
Thanks for the ping!
