It just seems as if they want to clear their hospices and sick beds of expensive, long term, terminally ill patients. It doesn't sound like compassion at all...despite all the double speak about mercy, compassion and "quality of life."

What the HELL do they know about the end of a life? None of them has been through it. It is a mystery.
The relative morality never comes through more falsely and empty than when the conversation turns to euthenasia.

It's good to see other Dutch speak out against it.

When the state is responsible for the excess expense of keeping you alive, the state is going to want you dead. It's just business, nothing personal...

Do you think maybe that seriously ill people will be reluctant to seek medical treatment?
