Well, someone has to be unafraid to sound the warning that history's lessons are being forgotten, or ignored.

And if you aren't very careful, right to die will become duty to die. And you'll be asking "what happened?" and it will be too late. Do I sound crazy saying that? Maybe to some. Did people saying the same thing about legalized abortion in 1950 sound just as crazy to the people of their era? Probably.

Euthanasia is accepted and even forced on some in several places around the globe. It will attempt to gain a foothold in the US because so many nations still look to us as a moral compass. Although here lately, I haven't a clue why.

No. I don't think so. I know many are being derided for the Nazi comparison. I'm a fairly decent student of history. I'll be damned if I can think of a better comparison to the mentality that allows us to starve a human being to death who would stay alive otherwise.
