It's all a natural progression: kill one, kill all.
Pretty much the same article has already been posted twice...
Important article.
You've got the wording correct--natural evolution sounds so much less alarming. This article is chilling. Who calls the shots, where is the line drawn?
Third times a charm. I blogged on it as probably everyone else did as well (http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=Blogbat). Hugh Hewitt tonight had a great program about this. Refreshingly deep and on point.
Van Gogh's murder woke people up to their terrorist problem, I hope this wakes up the moral God-fearing people there.
I hope this MAKES for some God-fearing people there. Else some of the weaker among them may soon be God-seeing.
Sickening.
This truly is deplorable. I can understand adults defending their right to die if they have a terminal illness, but who is anyone to speak for the right of a dying infant, who cannot speak for his or herself, to die? Shameful. I hope the Dutch Parliament strikes this proposal down.

Saw a NewsMax article with the same information.
The "fools" who believe in a Creator hold that "all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights." One notes by contrast that Darwinian natural selection presumes that all humans evolve unequally, are subject to no moral authority, and are therefore free to duke it out for survival by whatever means they see advantageous.
It would seem that unalienable rights, as endowed by a Creator, is a concept so important that, if there wasn't a Creator we would be best off maintaining whatever pretense necessary that there is.
Yes, but its what you get when you recognize any version of a "right to die".
Morality is either arbitrary and constructed by men and thus no rights exist at all and there is no value to life at all or morality is the result of principles willfully set forth by a Creator. If the former is true, we are but pounds of flesh so there is no matter in the case. If the latter be true then we are not our own and have no more right to arbitrarily end our lives as the lives of others who are not causing us harm.
It's now a small step to the following:
"Mr Smith, we know that you're a smoker and that you consume more than two alcoholic drinks per day. To spare you the misery of cancer and cirrhosis (not to mention the fact that you voted Republican in the last four elections) the State has, in its mercy decided....."
Guess the Nazis were just 50 years behind the times. Somewhere in the pits of hell, Hitler has a reason to smile.
What points did he make, if you don't mind telling those who didn't hear him?
Here are links to the other two threads, some good discussion.

I suspect the pro-choice crowd will start defending this another late-term abortion that is necessary for the health of the mother.
Who was it who said "It's only a small step from the "right to die" to the "duty to die"?
Grazie. The show covered the topic of the value of life as devinely breathed verses its value as a matter of happenstance, our slide back into the darkages of the pre-judeo-Christian era and all of its trappings.
I just read your FR page, and welcome. You've come to the right place, and God bless our Aussie allies. We really have so much in common.
