The problem is horrific stories about the Netherlands half a century ago just don't cut it anymore. They practice euthanasia. Just cutting off somebody's parts and leaving them alive doesn't hold a candle to that.

Anyone check out when Joe Kennedy (JFK"s dad) gave his daughter Mary a frontal lobotomy? I think it was in that same period of quack surgery to cure things people didn't like.

1. Just because people have decided half a century later that Euthanasia is ok, somehow excuses the behaviour of the Catholic Church?

2. In essence you are saying that the Church is vulnerable to secular trends like any other organization?

Even in the US there were places where eugenics was being experimented with in those days.

Surely that's debateable.
