I agree with every word, except she is too kind to that monster and his monstrous supporters

I feel like throwing up.

Well, okay, maybe part of that is a medication side-effect, but - in 1998, I spoke at an undergraduate bioethics conference in Boston for the express purpose of revealing this demon for what he really is: VILE.

Good for you! Me, I have only been able to post a few caustic remarks on the internet where only my friends can read them. Although I recently found out that some Dutch site or other had read my denunciation of Dutch euthanasia and related matter, and been suitably infuriated. Which is nice - there are people whose hatred is a badge of honour, and supporters of the murder of the old and sick are to my mind foremost among those

Yet another reason to be disgusted by the Dutch:

I've been a reader of your journal for about a year, btw. I printed out your articles on Dutch euthanasia for my parents and grandparents, and they loved them.

Perhaps it's paranoia, but I am seriously afraid of the elite classes in the wealthy parts of the world coming to nigh-unanimous agreement on Kervorkian/Singer/Holland-style ethics and shoving it down everyone's throat. If that happens I might end up spending my late years in a third-world country or somesuch - I'd rather die of a disease than a "doctor"'s needle.

There are a couple of countries, one of which I am proud to say is my own, where the Catholic Church is too strong for such abominations to be mentioned aloud. I think the last word is not yet said. But as for the tendency you suspect, I'm afraid I had something to say about it before:

Alas, another postmodernist folk hero is back out on the streets. I bet we soon see "assisted suicide rights" being 'discussed' again by activists.

*shivering* Given the number of folks I know who have bad weeks...given how many very famous folks found truth, beauty, came to peace at the very end of their lives... how many folks I know would KILL THEMSELVES if it became a kind of social pressure help their familys...

Beyond the fact that the man is a monster, the stuff he acts like he stands for isn't that great, either.

Hear hear with a cherry on top.
