More for comment. Europe is committing sucide.

Euthanasia will win out in Socialist countries to reduce the burden on the state payroll.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

The entire continent of europe suffers from misplaced arrogance.To think that one can actually believe they have the intelligence or power of the ALMIGHTY to make that kind of decision is ridiculus!Pull the plug and you have committed murder.

Hmmm. And I just recently saw assurances that the Netherlands had fixed their "involuntary euthanasia" problem.

[Spiff]

Euthanasia has also entered the pediatric wards, where eugenic infanticide has become common even though babies cannot ask to be killed. According to a 1997 study published in the British medical journal The Lancet, approximately 8 percent of all Dutch infant deaths result from lethal injections. The babies deemed killable are often disabled and thus are thought not to have a "livable life." The practice has become so common that 45 percent of neonatologists and 31 percent of pediatricians who responded to Lancet surveys had killed babies.

The obvious result of unfettered abortion-on-demand policies. These are just late-late term abortions. Coming to a hospital near you.

If the feeding tube is permanently pulled from Terri Schiavo we will have walked through the door to the same thing. Wake up America! If you think this article is abhorrent yet you have been in approval of Terri's demise, you are supporting this very same movement in America. It is only a matter of time! We have been snoozing while our legislators pass laws that we have ignored only to find they were not as good as they led us to believe. We are now facing a situation where courts and not doctors are making these decisions.

The book, Forced Exit: The Slippery Slope From Assisted Suicide to Legalized Murder. could very well be titled: Forced Exit: The Slippery Slope From Hospice (palliative care) to Legalized Murder.

Thanks to the Open Society Institute (Soros funded) this hideous scenario is coming (already here actually) to a hospital near you.

A number of doctors and judges need to be terminated without request.

Medical schools today are too often not training physicians, but butchers out of science fiction.

Pro-life/pro-baby ping! If we can't save our nation, we can't run to Europe to escape...

But Belgian euthanasia went off the rails from day one: The very first reported killing — that of a man with multiple sclerosis — violated the legal guidelines (not that anything was done about it).

I guess I can never live in Belgium. I might be gassed for having MS.

"...a concept in Dutch law known as force majeur..."

"I got news" for Wesley (the author of the article), "force majeur" [sic] (actually spelled "force majeure") is a legal maxim about as common in English Common Law, as dirt.

It's a term inserted into contracts to "hold harmless", one party to the agreement, from "acts of God".

In other words, if I'm the "party" insuring your houseboat, I won't be held liable if "God" throws a meteor down from the sky onto your houseboat.

It's not a "Dutch" thing. Sloppy reporting.

"Termination without request or consent."

It's a 2-way street
