The push to normalize state-facilitated suicide (branded euphemistically as “euthanasia”) across the Western world just won a huge victory in the Netherlands.
Via The Guardian:
The Netherlands is to widen its euthanasia regulations to include the possibility of doctors assisting in the death of terminally ill children aged between one and 12.
The new rules would apply to between five and 10 children a year who suffer unbearably from their disease, have no hope of improvement and for whom palliative care cannot bring relief, the government said on Friday.
“The end of life for this group is the only reasonable alternative to the child’s unbearable and hopeless suffering,” it said in a statement.
The state mercy-killing phenomenon hasn’t gained widespread traction in the United States yet, but what befalls the rest of the West eventually comes to America’s shores; these social engineering projects just tend to require more time to take root in the U.S. due to America’s tradition of skepticism of state power and its federated political system that’s more difficult to fully infiltrate than other Western nations. But it’s only a matter of time before these ideas creep into public school curricula from coast to coast.

Pure evil.
Why is the west crumbling?
All of these countries have pushed God out of their homes, schools, governments and their churches too.
We KNOW that things are RAPIDLY getting worse in the USA. True repentance, and a sincere calling out to God, thru His son Jesus Christ, will save America.
If we refuse, far worse will come.
Absolutely true. Ultimately, it will lead to the great tribulation.
Yes.
Government has no business in any of this. Hands off!
The way it was worked fine.
Let it be a decision between the patient and doctor, where there is no active killing, rather just denial of care or pain management (common with terminal cancer patients) which accelerates an impending death.
Once you give government the power to legislate this issue, things (((WILL))) go wrong/weird.
Our government doesn’t even wait till they’re born
Western governments have become the enemy.
It’s not “euthanasia” when you do it to a one year old. IT’S MURDER.
“Euthanasia”. Also known as murder.
