from your linked article:

"In the U.S.A. in 1968 a voluntary euthanasia bill was introduced in Florida and an eminent surgeon and member of the American Medical Association - AMA - argued the case for it:"


FLORIDA!!

And this from the proposed bill:

"Section 4. If any person is disabled and there is no kinship as provided in section 3, death with dignity shall be granted any person if in the opinion of three (3) physicians the prolongation of life is meaningless"


There's that "death with dignity" again! And LET THE DOCTORS DECIDE when life is "meaningless" !!


"Fortunately this bill was not passed, and so far the AMA has been silent on the whole issue, but judging by the silence with which the German atrocities were met I can safety predict that the AMA will soon be unofficially espousing the cause of voluntary euthanasia."


I'm reminded once again of this quote by G.K.Chesterton:

"When men cease to believe in God, they do not believe in nothing; they believe in anything!"

It's probably going to get worse before it gets better, but we know who wins in the end. But there IS strength in numbers, and when God's people really begin to act like God's people, I believe we'll 'hear The Lion roar'!

It is still knocking my socks off to read how far back they were beginning. Let us hope the Lord has mercy on this country!
