Who could have predicted this new trend .... all death requests are honored ... whether requested or not.
They put em down like dogs there.
Ping
I kinda figured that out when I read that you (the daughter) was holding the mom down as the doctor administered the drugs.
..... was given a sedative in her coffee and had to be restrained by her husband and daughter as the doctor injected her with the deadly drugs....
Have now read that line numerous times. Doubting it can be true
One step removed from killing relatively healthy individuals.
This is frightening.
This is what is wrong with abandoning the common law in favor of statutory law. What this doctor did is common law murder in the first degree.
Don’t move to Europe
And for Gods sake, don’t have a daughter who wants you dead
So that passes as civilization to the Dutch! we call it murder around here ...
Holland is no place for old people.
Dutch savagely murdering their mothers to make room for the new islamonazi occupants of the country. Makes perfect sense
😱😥 Sickening.
The Nazi's are still in Holland.
NO different than swatting someone or the next step, submitting euthanasia requests for someone without telling them. Or for nurses and docs just offing all on their own, people under their care. Via accidental or deliberate accidents.
Folks, the slippery slope is that they didn’t tell you that once you make the decision you’ll never be judged competent enough to change your mind. Welcome to the 4th Reich...
My wife other neighbors all thought they should let her die except myself and her Husband. After making that decision she came out of her coma after over a month. Today she is fine with very little side effects of her coma.
I'm hoping my wife learned something form that? oh boy.
Here is a philosophical question, related to the basic subject in this report.
Is it a form of “assisted euthanasia” when doctors remove a feeding tube and breathing help from a dementia patient in the hospital (in what they called the “end of life” stage of dementia), because doing so agrees with the DNR the patient had signed before her life entered the state of dementia?
Or is it “murder” to watch as her body, in its dementia state, struggles in its last throws to sustain life?
I have experienced this in my family, and I still wrestle with it. You want to honor what the person said was their wishes, yet YOU struggle with what that finally means.

A largely unknown truth: the disabled were the Nazis’ first victims!

It can’t be said too often that too often we know too little about history–and what we do know often is either wrong or incomplete.
Over the years we’ve posted many stories that buttress and support what remains to many, many people an unknown historical truth–the Nazis “refined” their murderous system with their notorious Aktion T-4 euthanasia program.
As Peter Saunders has so eloquently written, “The horrific genocide of six million Jews was in fact only the final chapter in the Nazi holocaust story.”
Beginning in 1939, 300,000 disabled people “were gassed or given a lethal injection and cremated in six killing facilities in Germany and Austria,” writes Michael Cook. “This helped the Nazi regime to refine its system for processing millions, rather than ‘just’ thousands, of victims.”
One of the best articles I ever read appeared in the New York Times under the headline, “The Nazis’ First Victims Were the Disabled,” by Kenny Fries. Fries is himself Jewish and disabled, wrote about the connection between Aktion T4, the Nazi “euthanasia” program, and the extermination of the disabled, explaining
I first discovered that people with disabilities were sterilized and killed by the Nazis when I was a teenager, watching the TV mini-series “Holocaust” in 1978. But it would be years before I understood the connections between the killing of the disabled and the killing of Jews and other “undesirables,” all of whom were, in one way or another, deemed “unfit.”
The [German] neurologist [to whom Fries is explaining his research] does not know much about what I’m telling him. While he does know that approximately 300,000 disabled people were killed in T4 and its aftermath, he doesn’t know about the direct connection between T4 and the Holocaust. He doesn’t know that it was at Brandenburg, the first T4 site, where methods of mass killing were tested, that the first victims of Nazi mass killings were the disabled, and that its personnel went on to establish and run the extermination camps at Treblinka, Belzec and Sobibor.
Saunders added
The detail of how it happened, and particularly the role of doctors in the process, is not at all well known.
What ended in the 1940s in the gas chambers of Auschwitz, Dachau, and Treblinka had much more humble beginnings in the 1930s in nursing homes, geriatric hospitals and psychiatric institutions all over Germany.
When the Nazis arrived, the medical profession was ready and waiting.
Fries cites the hugely influential 1920 book, “Permitting the Destruction of Unworthy Life” by Alfred Hoche, a psychiatrist, and Karl Binding, a distinguished lawyer, “which became the blueprint for the exterminations of the disabled carried out by the Third Reich.” But he quite rightly hears ominous contemporary echoes.
A reading of Hoche and Binding, Fries remarks,
shows the similarity between what they said and what exponents of practical ethics, such as Peter Singer, say about the disabled today. As recently as 2015, Singer, talking with the radio host Aaron Klein on his show, said, “I don’t want my health insurance premiums to be higher so that infants who can experience zero quality of life can have expensive treatments.”
Fries ends with this inquiry with an admonition and warning:
What kind of society do we want to be? Those of us who live with disabilities are at the forefront of the larger discussion of what constitutes a valued life. What is a life worth living? Too often, the lives of those of us who live with disabilities are not valued, and feared.
At the root of this fear is misunderstanding, misrepresentation, and a lack of knowledge of disability history and, thus, disabled lives.
