Saw this coming. The world is starting to look like a Vincent Price movie from the 60s.
How inspirational.
Why...make sure they don't screw up and kill somebody?
Let’s see. Who is over 70 years old I could nominate for this.....
hmmmm.
madness. we must liberate Europe from themselves.
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.
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...
This is what socialism and ObamaCare gets you. Once you become a “burden” to the state.... it’s lights out for you pal!
The article mentions a 23 y.o. athlete who killed himself at a Swiss clinic because he was paralyzed from the waist down after an accident. In truth it was worse than waist down; it was chest down with limited use of his hands and muscle spasms.
Only 23! He hadn’t had time to come to terms with his injury; he hadn’t even had time for enough rehab to maximize his physical functions.
I know two people who are living with this degree of spinal injury, both injured in their twenties, twenty years ago. They’ve managed to find meaning and enjoyment in their lives.
That his parents went with him to the clinic is insane. Of course a healthy young athlete is going to be in despair after an injury like this - his life as he knows it is over. That doesn’t mean that suicide should be any kind of option. Finding a new life is hard and suicide probably looks good for a while.
Why limit it to those 70 and over?
Mankind is truly so depraved! I can’t imagine how much longer God will let this go on before there is justice. He truly is merciful.
SOYLENT GREEN, Come’on now. ZERO POPULATION GROWTH. You knew what it meant 40 years ago.
Soylent green is people!
Isn’t this age discrimination? Why is 70 the magic number? What about those who have accomplished nothing and NEVER fully experienced life.
This is so insane and I agree with previous comments. First offing yourself is a choice, in time, it will be your duty for the good of the country. No wait, for the “good of the children”.
