And is this thread about non-voluntary euthanasia, or assisted suicide? Those are two entirely different things. |
No it is not two different things. Holland started out as assisted suicide. Now they also perform euthanasia because it has become accepted. Read my above post. That is the problem here. That is why I started the thread. I don't like the idea of assisted suicide, but one does not need to participate in it. Euthanasia has crossed another line that is ten times as big. We can only look to Europe for our answers because they are father along with morally objectionable things than we are, and I have yet to see a case where the US of A followed Europes lead in this department and the same pitfalls didn't happen here as it did there. Maybe you have seen one where this is not the case? If so, I'd say that is a rarity.
This is why the thread. i want to see peoples thoughts on the subject. Euthanasia is part of that subject. It is next in line after assisted suicide takes its grip. Especially with the cheapness of life of an individual these days.
