The brothers are unique in that their illness was not terminal. Belgian law, however, allows doctors to euthanize "suffering" patients who are both mentally sound, over 18 and want to die.

Both brothers were perfectly capable of taking a lethal dose of whatever pills they could get their hands on without dragging a doctor into it.
Why did somebody else have to do the deed? They turned suicide into murder.

This outrage devalues all our lives—it says that unless you’re perfect, you are to be eliminated. I thought liberals like to think they’re the ones who care about the disabled.
To: dragonblustar
Really? Neither saw they could be of any value to anyone else, ever? Who’s to say the blindness may not have been reversible down the road? Man. Makes you wonder why all those blind folks in the bible weren’t just stoned to death by others because they were obviously no worth to anyone. /sarc

If they killed a few people first, they would have been spared.

There are doctors lined up all over Europe waiting for such jobs. Good reason to not get sick or hurt in Europe.

You have to wonder what kind of encouragement they got from the euthenasia crowd.

Sad that even though the Nazis were driven from Belgium so long ago, their policies towards the disabled are being willingly implemented.

Dr. David Dufour, said it was "a relief to see the end of their sufferring".

Today, only in Europe; within a decade, in the USA, too.

Two grow men with no hope in Christ, nor family to care for them. What a sad commentary on their family values. Apparently they gathered to say goodbye though. Hum, horrible I say. Also sad.

I don’t agree with their decision, but I do believe that someone who will lose both their most important senses should have some freedom in how they continue their lives also.
(Somewhat playing devil’s advocate here, I can respect a grown man not wanting to live another 40 years being a burden on their family or society in a way also)

The Culture of Death continues on its relentless course. Abortion, Islam, Communism/Socialism, Atheism. Pray for America, still the last chance for Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
