You are right to post this. We ought to think about what we are doing, especially when the rationalization sounds just like 75 years ago.
I find it amazing that people refuse to see what is happening in the U.S. The Germans thought it was ok to kill the Terry Schiavo's of the day. frankly I don't want american society to be the equivalent of 1930-40 Nazi Germany.
They used to say it can't happen here. But, just give it time, like half a century for the shock to wear off, and here it is.
Abortion and euthanasia are all part of the same Culture of Death.
Agreed.
I am heartsick today, like so many of you. We are losing our humanity as a people.
It started with Roe vs. Wade & reached another level today.
Death to the weak & inconvenient.
Fear the future, my friends.
Where has the joy of life gone, how did Americans become obsessed with the killing of fellow humans. This is very disturbing.
Were not these the very words uttered by Michael Schiavo?
YEP. I wonder if the "doctor" that pulled the tube also left an order that no nurse was to try to feed her?
According to: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/Brandt.html
"Brandt was one of the 15 defendants found guilty of war crimes at the Doctors Trial. He was executed June 2, 1948 at Landsberg prison in Bavaria."
In light of legal precedents in the U.S. and Europe since 1948, I guess he was right and we were wrong. My apologies to the enlightened National Socialists, so ahead of their time. /sarcasm
Just hope you don't become one of the "group" that gets marked for death at the hands of the States.
Exactly. Some conservatives who oppose our support for Terri argue that this is the business of the individual states (lower case), not the federal State (upper case). To me, it makes no difference if an innocent is being killed by an agent of a state or an agent of the State.
Thanks for posting the article.
I find it strange that Abortion can not be left to the States, but Euthanasia is a States issue.

Larry King, October 27, 2003CALLER: Yes. Does it bother you that the death is so slow? Maybe Dr. Kevorkian-style would be a faster, more peaceful way?
MICHAEL SCHIAVO: Removing somebody's feeding is very painless. It is a very easy way to die. Probably the second better way to die, being the first being an aneurysm.
And it doesn't bother me at all. I've seen it happen. I had to do it with my own parents.
GEORGE FELOS: You know, Larry, I want to make something very clear about that.
The law is very clear. This is not euthanasia. This is not assisted suicide. This is letting nature take its course.
Thank you for posting this. People think I'm nuts sometimes when I draw paralells between the left and now and the rise of the nazi party. One more brick in the wall.

bump!
Schivo apparently has a habit of killing people. He sounds like a budding serial killer. will it take the "natural' death of his children or girlfriend for the law to act.
Good article. It's amazing how many modern day Americans are totally ignorant of these beginnings of the euthanasia movement in pre-Nazi Germany.
Pat Buchanan had a great column today in our local newspaper, which echoed the truths in this article.
