Netherlands doctors are euthanizing people with autism, intellectual disabilities: study
NY Post ^ | 06/29/2023 | Allie Griffin

Several Dutch citizens who had autism or other intellectual disabilities have died by physician-assisted suicide in recent years after doctors determined their afflictions were untreatable obstacles to a normal life, researchers found.

Nearly 40 people who identified as autistic or intellectually disabled were legally euthanized in the Netherlands between 2012 and 2021, according to a Kingston University investigation of Dutch euthanasia cases.

Five people younger than 30 who were killed at their own request cited autism as the sole or a major reason for their decision to end their lives, the UK study found.

With those cases, experts have questioned whether the law allowing doctors to kill suicidal patients via lethal injections has strayed too far from its initial intentions when passed in 2002.

You’re right, Klaus Schwab fills the role of the villain perfectly, the clothes, the accent, etc.

The true evil involved in the WEF is Yuval Noah Harari, his views are frightening.

I read years ago that elderly people in the Netherlands were afraid to go to the doctor as the doctor might decide on his own that the patient has no “quality of life left” and kill the patient on his own.

Today in the US when I go in for doctor’s visit I make sure I am in good health and mental aware before the visit. I am aware of their little “mind games” they use to see if you are still functional. Better shape than Biden!

I was given a cognition test on my wellness check up. Fortunately I passed it. I flunked the cholesterol part though.

Looks like the Nazis actually ended up winning.
Way to go Europe, another war maybe in your future.

Why would they expect anything less?

Leftists like to play with word that’s way.

Yes, they do. Sodomy is a vile activity. They renamed it "gay." Such a happy sounding word and stupid Americans fell for it.

Adultery is a vile activity. They renamed it an "affair." That sounds so much better. Stupid Americans fell for it. Etc.

Is there anything else the west can do to fully embrace fascism? Killing free speech, check. Imprisoning or confiscating property of political enemies, check. State control of major industries and their use as defacto enforcers of otherwise illegal state policies, check. Eugenics, check.

We're running out of things we can point to and say "we're better than them" about.

Wonder how many illegals are in the Netherlands.

Biden ask every country to send their over stock to the U.S.

"The Nazi Netherlands"
I don't think the original Nazis would allow their country to be invaded by Africans and Asians. More like the philosophy of Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi.

“after doctors determined their afflictions were untreatable obstacles to a normal life”

What’s a normal life? Who in the world has one of those?

They better stock up on the euthanasia agents because if that’s the standard they are going by, they are going to need to involuntarily exterminate a whole lot more people.

Had to look that guy up.

“He strove to replace the nationalist German ideal of racial community with the goal of an ethnically heterogeneous European nation based on a commonality of culture...”

So not a “Nazi” - racial nationalist/socialist, but an “Ethnazi”? Or a “Kulturnazi”?
