Read post 13. Nazism is more than mass killing. It often involved the manipulation of the law for the advancement of an expedient view of life. Read John Toland's ADOLF HITLER. There are so many good comparisons to this case and the fine line walked by men like Eichman who, as Toland points out, was investigated by a German prosecutor under the surviving framework of real law in Germany during the final months of Nazi power.
If this kind of court decision is allowed to stand without bitter protest, we are at the slippery slope indeed and YOU are an accessory by worrying about easy access instead of the issue at hand. Yes there are other patients in the hospice. But they are getting some care. What the actions of the dehydration-lovers say to those patients too is..."Die and get out of the way".
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Again, that is a very insensitive thing to say. Who are these people that are advocating mass murder? Or are you just extrapolating, without evidence, from your hyperbolie?
If these protestors are so caring and compassionate, they can protest with more solid temperment. They can make their point without convicting everyone, nor does everyone else need to be a protestor.
I've also looked at the court records and heard the stories of both sides of the case. To me, it seems the law was not manipulated to suite one person's aims, but it functioned as it was supposed to.
