If passed, law would make Spain sixth country to allow "mercy killing."
Don’t leave home without it.
That’s the message, basically, from the Catholic Bishops of Spain, who are renewing their longstanding invitation for concerned citizens to draft a living will to protect against being involuntarily killed under a government-backed euthanasia law.
In December, Spanish lawmakers voted in favor of a law decriminalizing euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. If the Senate gives it final approval, Spain would be Europe’s sixth country to allow active euthanasia.
“This proposed law says euthanasia cannot be applied if the person has previously signed a document with instructions, a living will, advance directives or equivalent legally recognized documents,” the Spanish Bishops’ Conference said on its website.
“Given the possible approval of the euthanasia law, it is necessary to prevent its abusive application when informed consent cannot be expressed. We are encouraging the faithful to sign such a document to avoid violating the dignity and freedom of disabled people, and to help humanize the death process through material and spiritual assistance.”

Better yet, make it a tattoo.
Nice policy. Euthanasia by rule, life by exception.
Are you sure this article was written in 2021 and not, say, 1021?
Why would they be threatened by Asian youths?
Imagine if the state “healthcare” system starts paying the hospitals to euthanize the elderly to save money from their social security systems.
Cumpolsoru euthanasia? that could never happen here. Neither could a communist revolution.
Maybe they can include that info on the microchips Bill Gates wants us implanted with.
Not that they will honor it.

What makes you think that this ISN’T coming?
I firmly believe it’s coming and coming much faster than most can even believe.
Sticking the sick in the Nursing Homes is a test.
Like Waco and Ruby Ridge were testing the waters.
It’s coming. Different countries/different peoples can be purged using legal methods.
Sigh.
[[“This proposed law says euthanasia cannot be applied if the person has previously signed a document with instructions,]]
Yeah sure- some lawyer of some money grubbing relative will argue they were not of sound mind when they signed it
Very scary. A needle can quietly end the life of an elderly or sickly person. Medical professionals know how to end a persons life in a way that seems like natural causes.
