Saw this coming. The world is starting to look like a Vincent Price movie from the 60s.

The assistants who administered the deadly cocktail of sedatives would need to be certified, campaigners said.

Why...make sure they don't screw up and kill somebody?

You captured the sense of it, thanks!

[I still care]

Time to get on the Merry Go Round.

Holland is a perfect example of how little steps of liberalism lead to catastrophe. The Dutch were once most devout, but then legalised divorce, abortion, gay civil unions, gay marriages, euthanasia, prostitution etc. and now we have legalised suicides for anyone over 70 (when will it be extended to anyone and everyone?).

xone; redgolum; lightman; Nyer; kosta50; nosterrex --> copying you guys as I see this as not only a social but a religious issue -- and one that affects all of us Christians where we NEED to keep our Churches free from these "modernizers"

This year it’s optional...next year probably starts the “it’s your duty”!

Checking to make sure Holland isn’t on my golden years list.

Years ago I read that elderly people in Holland will not allow a doctor to examine them because they fear the doctor will determine on his own that the old have no more “quality of life” left and poison them.

or to make sure they don’t screw up and the patient lives

Wrongful life lawsuits?

It's abortion on demand for whatever reason in Holland up to almost 6 months as well. As long as you're a functioning adult, you have rights. Once you become inconvenient, a burden, your rights are gone.

Holland used to be a religious country with laws based on Christian moral principles. They will soon be governed by sharia for forsaking their heritage. Any country that turns towards secular humanism is on the road of destruction.

I guess the “social” spending in Holland on their equivalent of Social Security is getting really out of hand. God help us should *our* politicians decide that a final solution is the only way to save SS and Medicare...

Exactly what is coming here. Obama vision.
