Not good, not by a long shot.
Agreed. Euthanasia was considered one of the “war crimes” the Nazi’s were charged with. However, with abortion seen as a “right” and the secularization of society and the demise of Christian belief and with it the concept of sanctity of life, can we honestly be surprised.
and think how much more we could save in health care dollars if the united states under its proposed socialist health care system instituted programs such as those with downs syndrome and other diseases that renders the fetus imperfect in life?
It will eventually come to that!
I’m here and know that. What I am talking about is instituting a program whereby the government gets rid of the downs syndrome and other disable folks who are currently “sucking vital health care dollars” from the poor, illegal aliens, and other needy folks. I guess they can call this “post partum abortion” instead of the less popular and emotionally laden term of murder or execution. Of course since this is being done to the innocent in the name of the benefit of society, it will not be opposed by those groups that are against the death penalty for murderers found so by juries.
Eventually they will pass a law that everyone over the age of 75 has the duty to die.
Luxemburg legalizes euthanasia after putting limits on Grand Dukes power
Catholic Ping
Please freepmail me if you want on/off this list
Isn’t Luxembourg a Catholic country? Like Monaco, where the state religion is Roman Catholicism?
Grand Duke Jean has always been a pro-life, church going Vatholic. Can they just take away his veto power like that?
Perfectly stated!
Yes, perfectly! The slippery slope has just opened another lane, for faster 'service'.
Just like the formation of the EU and membership therein was not intended to supercede the individual country's rulers powers and authority. Yeah, right, tell that to the beleaguered Grand Duke of Luxembourg.
Aaah, another fine action of another socialist to 'protect'. I'm guessing Lydia won't ever be in line for this abomination she helped create, it will be for 'other' people. Blech.
GRAND DUKE HENRI
Fascinating story of the longest reigning Royal Family in the world. dating back to 613 AD.
His wife is Maria Teresa Batista, from Cuba
Henri’s patriline is the line from which he is descended father to son.
Patrilineal descent is the principle behind membership in royal houses, as it can be traced back through the generations - which means that if Duke Henri were to choose an historically accurate house name it would be Robert, as all his male-line ancestors have been of that house.
Henri is a member of the House of Bourbon-Parma, a sub-branch of the House of Spain, itself originally a branch of the House of France, and thus of the House of Capet and of the Robertians.
Henri’s patriline is the line from which he is descended father to son. It follows the Dukes of Parma as well as the Kings of Spain, France, and Navarre. The line can be traced back more than 1,400 years and is one of the oldest in Europe.
