How AWFUL!
There is no low for Satan.
I bet Switzerland sees some miracle cures.
solyet green is next
Hmm. Asisted suicide for refractory depression? Cheaper than a vagus nerve stimulator.
Why not? The Swiss also stole billions from families of holocaust victims and hid the truth for over fifty years. They also engaged in massive insurance fraud to deprive these same families of insurance money. The Swiss are experts at hiding things, especially bank accounts filled with stolen cash. God forbid they would act to save lives of the mentally ill. No surprise here. They are just acting like Nazis again. Time to move on.
this is the problem with assisted suicide, it starts to become "mandatory" or institutionalized suicide.
Thought the whole idea behind "assisted" suicide was the person got to chose someone to help murder them, not for someone else to decide it's time for them to die.
How do you know you don't want to die? You're crazy, remember.
"Switzerland: Chocolate and Secrecy."
"a radical individualistic notion of "self ownership" "
Is the concept of "self ownership" really so radically individualistic? If I don't own my body, who does? I would suggest that the opposite viewpoint, that my person belongs to "society", is the radical one. If society owns me, than they can just as easily decide I should be dead as they can insist that I stay alive.
Could these people not be our answer to the suicide killers of our enemy?
(Yes, it's sarcasm)
And yet, everywhere on FR, there are posters who insist we must support RINO candidates who are pro-choice because they are fiscal conservatives, they can win, the social conservatives are wrecking the party, losing the election, spoilers, blah, blah, blah.
They will never understand that if life is not sacred, then their guns, wallets and property certainly aren't.
Conservatism begins with the protection of life, it is the foundation of western civilisation and the cornerstone of inalienable rights.
God, your creator owns you. That is the radical 3rd way that avoids both the tyranny of the individual and the tyranny of the collective.
Lifesite news is a Pro-life website. Their philosophy is a Christian one-the belief that life, from conception to a natural death is a gift from the Creator, aka God.
Since Mr. Smith's article is on their site, I assume he also shares a pro-life stance, even perhaps that their is some merit in suffering.
You can always find merit in the other guy's suffering.
I expect many countries of Europe to follow the evil path of Switzerland.
These people have never given up their love for eugenics. Only the victims have changed.
Euthanasia for the mentally ill? Perhaps I should send brochures to the Democratic Congress....
