that 2% of ALL Dutch deaths are now from euthanasia:
The number of reported Dutch cases of euthanasia or assisted suicide rose 13 percent last year, the government said on Wednesday, spurring talk of a possible “euthanasia hospital” to help people end their lives. The annual report of the regional commissions that oversee the Netherlands’ euthanasia law said there were 2,636 cases in 2009, the vast majority of them euthanasia, or “mercy killing“, as opposed to assisted suicide, or helping someone to die.
That represented about 2 per cent of all Dutch deaths last year, based on figures from Statistics Netherlands. Of the cases, slightly over 80 percent were cancer patients and more than 80 per cent of the deaths occurred in the patient’s home.
The scary thing about this story is that it is so matter of fact. Once you decide that life doesn’t have value, this kind of thing is easy.
And if you believe that all of these deaths were with the consent of the killed, and did not have a financial incentive (cutting medical costs etc) then I have a bridge to sell you. To the supporters of Obamacare this is what is called a “feature”.
If you want to know what a post Christian society looks like this is it, and it’s coming to a state near you.
If you want to know why the Hippocratic Oath had to go and why Pro Life people fight so hard, it’s because we see the endgame and it’s not pretty.
