"In Euthanasia World, money is never an issue, doctors make house calls, no one is ever abandoned or coerced, and every "death with dignity" is freely and carefully chosen just before natural death occurs and there is no other way to relieve unbearable suffering."

Wesley is brilliant.

Not Dead Yet, a national organization that fights against legalizing assisted suicide.

Great name and great group. God bless 'em.

Bring up the issue of assisted suicide, and we suddenly are transported to Euthanasia World, an idealized land where euthanasia's dark side is conveniently ignored.

Yes, and it was exactly the same thing with abortion in the early '70s. We were treated to heart-rending sob stories, eked out by horrible tales of back-alley butchery, and solemnly assured that abortion would occur only under the most dire of circumstances.

They should call it Crazy World but the Anti Smoking Crowd already took that one for their WWE Wrestling commercials.

Consider the irony. Coleman asserts that disabled people are likely to be supported if they express a desire to die, but may be refused access to the very services that could help them realize that their lives are worth living

Euthenasia is technically illegal in Sweden. That did not stop two nurses from giving my grandfather an overdose of morphine when a family friend went to the lobby to get my uncle.

Once euthenasia sets in, involuntary euthenasia follows shortly. The culture of death and socialised medicine demand it.

The worst thing that can happen to a human being is not disability, but death--the ripping apart of body and soul. Even Christians, who blithely speak of Auntie going to heaven , forget that the soul even in the presence of God looks forward to the day when he shall be reunited with his body and become whole.

"...In his 1997 book, "Origins of Nazi Genocide", Henry Friedlander documented the Nazi programme of euthanasia, called T4, that began with the collusion of the medical establishment and the courts, starting in the early thirties.

Disabled rights activists are attempting to create the same level of awareness of the rising trend towards killing the disabled in our own time, in modern hospitals, using exactly the same Nazi-style rhetoric of "mercy killing" as justification. The language of "mercy" is used constantly by Michael Schiavo who has been trying for ten years to have his disabled wife Terri killed by starvation by the removal of a feeding tube, the only "life support" she needs.

Alex Schadenberg, director of Canada's Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, said that the dehumanizing of victims is the first step in the euthanasia process. "It is no surprise that Tracy Latimer's symptoms were always described in terminology used for animals in pain. Robert Latimer was praised and defended as noble and compassionate for having gassed her."

Similarly eugenic abortions are spoken of as "curing diseases" and at times 'merciful' procedures. The link between the Nazi eugenics movement and the abortion movement is more than ideological. Planned Parenthood foundress Margaret Sanger shared her eugenic ideals with the Nazi's in the early 1930s. Due to the negative press over her association with the Nazi's Sanger changed the name of her organization from the Birth Control League to Planned Parenthood..."
