The European Commission in Brussels has backed a scheme by the globalist government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte in the Netherlands that would see thousands of farms shut down in order to comply with EU climate goals. On Tuesday, the governing arm of the European Union officially threw its support behind plans by the Dutch government to buy out thousands of farmers from their lands in order to meet the EU’s Natura 2000 scheme to protect certain environments. The plan, which would offer farmers 120 per cent of the value of their farm, could see some 3,000 so-called “peak” emitters...

Immoral bioethical policies and practices advance toward implementation through discourse–first in professional journals, and then in elite popular media columns.That process is now gearing up regarding what I call “VSED-by-Proxy.”VSED stands for “voluntary stopping eating and drinking”–suicide by self-starvation–pushed for the elderly and others by those compaaaaa–ssssss–ionate death zealots at the Hemlock Society Compassion and Choices.But what about mentally incompetent residents of nursing homes who willingly eat, but who years previously stated in an advance medical directive that they wanted to be made dead by starvation under such circumstances?We see increasing advocacy in bioethics that nursing homes be required to...

TORONTO, ON (The Interim) - There is nothing right or left-wing about pro-life, but pro-lifers are repeatedly and ridiculously condemned and dismissed as being on the right. Life, however, is more important than political labels.

TAMPA, Fla. — The lawyer for Terri Schiavo's (search) husband says he's confident the long-awaited autopsy report on the brain-damaged woman will show no evidence she was abused before she lapsed into a persistent vegetative state. More than two months after Schiavo's death ended an internationally watched right-to-die battle, autopsy results on the 41-year-old brain damaged woman were to be made public Wednesday. Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner Jon Thogmartin said he will release the autopsy results at an 11 a.m. news conference. Attorneys for Terri Schiavo's husband, Michael Schiavo (search), and parents, Bob and Mary Schindler (search), expect to get the...

A right to live ... not to be killed http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=40641   If I didn't know better, I'd think the heavens are crying. Perhaps they are. Florida is being inundated as the progression of hurricanes continues its destruction.   Ironically, while media focus on evacuations aimed at saving lives, the Florida Supreme Court ruled 7-0 last week, that a helpless young Florida woman should die. Her name is Terri Schindler-Schiavo.   I take that back. Not just die. Be killed.   That is what's involved when a person is denied food and water. That person will die a prolonged, painful and horrible...

A matter of life and death Posted: October 20, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com By the time you read this, Terri Schindler-Schiavo could well be dead – the victim of a court-ordered starvation plan. If you get your news primarily from the New York Times, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN or FOX, you may not know who Terri Schindler-Schiavo is. The establishment press has treated her government-mandated torture-execution as if it had little news value. Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, while speaking out on the case and offering a brief opposing the taking of Terri's life, now maintains his hands...

TERRI’S FIGHT TO LIVE – DAY 3 CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT According to a memorandum submitted by Dr. Kevorkian’s prosecuting attorney, Jack Thompson, Esq., “The U.S. Department of Agriculture in its own regulations at 9CFR2.131 prohibits the withholding of food and water from farm animals. Terri Schiavo is not less than a farm animal.” Thompson continued, “If you, as Governor, were to order the execution of a serial killer on death row by means of withholding food and water, you would be ordered by any number of courts not to do so. The horror of dying by dehydration makes death...
