Darwinist Jerry Coyne, who has recently advocated the medical killing of handicapped babies so they won’t “suffer,” has added another class of people to his kill list: people who are depressed.
In response to a doctor’s suggestion in an article that a patient who was not physically suffering but who was depressed should be offered euthanasia, Coyne writes:
My answer, as was that of another expert discussed in the piece, is “yes”, but I’d offer them antidepressants first…
Goodness gracious. Coyne is now advocating euthanasia for depressed people, and make no mistake about it: euthanasia for depression is gaining wider acceptance — the Netherlands is already euthanizing people for depression and other mental health issues. Of course he gives a passing nod to offering anti-depressants first. But if they don’t work or the patient doesn’t want them, Coyne recommends that the doctor kill the patient, if the patient wants to die.
And what if the doctor doesn’t want to kill his patient? Coyne asks:
What about doctors who are uncomfortable…helping carry out such a procedure?… My view is that if they are, they must refer the patient to a doctor who can help…
Coyne demands that doctors who do not want to kill their patients be forced to refer the suicidal patient to another doctor who is willing to do the killing.
The primary goal of psychiatric care for depression in modern times has been to prevent suicide. Doctors are trained to be alert for signs that a depressed person is planning to take his own life, and are required professionally to intervene — against the patient’s wishes if necessary — to protect the patient’s life. Now Coyne and other euthanasia advocates are demanding that doctors help depressed patients to kill themselves.
Note the chain of events: First, we normalize abortion. Then we legalize physician-assisted suicide. Then euthanasia proponents advocate medical killing of handicapped newborns. Now there is serious advocacy (it is actually practiced in some countries) to euthanize depressed people. This is what we have come to. Instead of protecting depressed people from suicide, doctors are now being asked to kill them.
If you’re not aghast, you’re not paying attention. The death cult is moving fast and gaining a lot of ground. This is not a slippery slope. This is an ice cliff.
Who will actually kill the depressed person?
A Psychotic..?
Doctors may very well be the leding cause of death in the United States
I have heard that a side benefit of capital punishment was that it stopped the propagation of those particular genetics.
My parents treated me GREAT :)
Mom cracking and ending up in psych after he died did the trick.
I was born to pop very late. They were together 35 years before i was born
it’s all good
This is the logical response to the Evolutionary Hypothesis.
This person is just being rational and honest.
If we are not spiritual beings, then we are just animals taking up space and using up resources, and must justify our continued existence. An evolutionist would reasonably come to this conclusion.
May God have mercy on us.
They are nothing alike! Cersei is classically beautiful, and, and, and...
Never mind.
One of the first groups the Nazis exterminated was the people in asylums. Calling this piece of subhuman refuse a Nazi does not violate Godwins Law.
It will come. Say, about 100 years? Or will the country be m*slim before then? Die at the hands of vicious subhuman savages, or at the hands of vicious doctors paid by the government.
LOL! ....and and and Cersei never destroyed the lives of millions of people and laughed about it afterwards.....

Wait.... Wouldn’t that sort of be doing them a favor?
And transferring the (supposed) sin of suicide to the Doctor, who then (definitely) becomes a murderer?
But does calling him subhuman?
I am of mixed minds when it comes to giving suicide pills to social justice warriors and other defectives. Even assuming it was entirely voluntary.

We have to understand that just because one calls themselves a scientist, does not say they use 21st century science. Biologists, such as Jerry Coyne, are operating in the Dark Ages. He would be at home operating London’s Bethlem asylum for the mentally ill. Under Coyne, the mentally ill wold enter Bedlam, and come out in a coffin. That’s the ticket!
Would celebrities have to schedule their deaths so that the press could accommodate all of the grieving memorial news coverage for each celeb?
We’ve all seen what happens when a notable passes away and then their dimming star is obscured by the death of one or two bigger stars.
You winz the thread!
OTOH Dany is the one letting in Dothraki refugees. Only a matter of time before they start raping,
