An odd article; this figure seems low, compared to that other article I pinged out today*:
About 75,000 people across Europe, including 5,000 children, were subjected to experiments and killed because they had physical or mental handicaps, were social misfits or otherwise failed to meet the Nazis' master-race criteria.
This statement bears repeating:
"It is dangerous all over the world," Salzer said. "If you could do it once, there is a danger it could be done 10,000 times."
Let me know if you want on/off this ping list.

Sorry about it not being a link; if I make things bold or italics, I can't do links. I be genetically inferior.

"Panel member Dr. Martin Salzer argues that 60 years after World War II, it is time to debate a doctor-assisted suicide law similar to Oregon's. But he finds Schiavo's treatment unacceptable because she left no written instructions.
"It is dangerous all over the world," Salzer said. "If you could do it once, there is a danger it could be done 10,000 times."

Exactly.
Judge Greer should be arrested and bound over for trial in the murder of Terri Schindler.
Yes. Even here, in yet America.
Never a bias in AP accounts, is there?
I saw Peter Beinart go stark raving mad when Pat Buchanan tried to note the Nazi analogy to the Schiavo case. Beinart shouted down Buchanan before he could even get the thought out of his mouth.
Libs get hysterical when anyone sees something Nazi-ish about snuffing out the lives of the disabled or the unborn. "You have no right to make that analogy" they shriek.
I wonder if it's OK with libs when actual survivors of the Nazis, such as Mr. Gross, make the Nazi analogy re Terri Schiavo.
Probably not.
I have a friend who is from Germany but now lives here and was visiting Munich at the time of Terri's death. He said that the case was all over the news over there and the Germans were following it as closely as we were.
