As a minor no consent needed … Been going on in the UK decades with disabled babies eg spina bifida

In all cases, simply murder.
 
This will be increasing. Terminal patients are expensive, and socialist medicine countries are running out of money.
 
From the article:
Fortunately, there are very few children who are considered (for euthanasia) but that does not mean we should refuse them the right to a dignified death," Distelmans told the newspaper.

And there it is again… death with dignity. As though those whose deaths come about through the natural cycle are in some way “undignified”.
 
did Belgium learn NOTHING from the Nazis? They euthanized those they considered “UNFIT” and now Belgium is continuing their horrifying legacy!
 
We have a death with dignity law on the ballot,here in Colo. The group behind it is Compassionate something or other,I can’t remember.
My Pastor gave a fifteen minute homily per the Archbishop’s request,on this very issue.He received a standing ovation afterwards.He mentions that George Soros( big suprise) is behind this effort to get this into law.Please pray for Colo.that the voters will shoot this down.This is a sign of more to come throughout the Nation if the evil law is successful.😦
 
THANK YOU ALL. This thread reassures me about humanity

When I worked in childrens homes in the UK decades ago, there were disabled little ones there and the doctor said in front of on dear little girl that she should have been allowed to die. She had a shunt in her head to relive hydrocephaly . disabled sure but so affectionate… .
I have seen and heard too much … sorry… but this is… obscene…

Consent being optional.

Followed thereafter with mandatory.

AKA, government death squads to kill those “unfit” and more to control the population? All deserve the right to live. In AND out of the womb.

Oh My Goodness! How right you are. This is horrible.
 
Why not make it 16?
Or 15?

There’s a lot of folks arguing that we should lower the age of informed consent. :eek:
 
If a child “consents”, doing so allegedly takes responsibility away from the adults.
Not really, of course!
 
The implications of this report are horrendous:
edition.cnn.com/2016/09/17/health/belgium-minor-euthanasia/

According to the embedded video, withholding water and nourishment to helpless patients is legal in Belgium. I don’t know how a mother can do that to her own child, but this one even admits regret for not being able to deliver a more potent dose of poison and speed up the process. That this is reported in a deadpan manner by CNN, shows there is no shock for what should be considered outright murder.

History gives us a lesson in that the killing sprees by the Nazis actually started with culling out the weak members of society and doing away with them. Heaven help us!

In the UK at one time when a baby was born with spina bifida, the policy was to give them only water and DF118 , a codeine based drug. The city I taught in had built a specialschool for these little ones, and it lay empty soon…

And then there was Dr Harold Shipman, wjho personally euthanised his elderly patients. But at least he got caught and put in jail and later committed suicide there… Had i been his patient I have no doubt he would have killed me. Disabled, a drain on public funds… 🤷

When was that in the UK? Do you know the policy now?

The problem of disability and varying degrees of helpless, emerges when an able person such as the afore-mentioned doctor gets to the same place. It’s daunting to realize we live precariously between the two poles of being utterly dependent in our younger years, have an island of individual functioning in society when we are not sleeping or taking care of our animal needs and then reverting to increased reliance on others again.

There is one member of our family who thought she would never grow old, used to scorn the elderly, even asked her mother “86 years is not enough for you?” Now she has attained that age, will pass it next year and in fact, is a miserable, pathetic product of the selfish values she imbibed from society.

It pays to be aware of that line of poetry"Do not ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee". We can be running around happily and turn into a heap the next minute. Similarly, those who have been paralyzed (we know someone personally who was on his back for 20 years) can have a miracle. That makes it even worse for children who have a natural will to live. To snatch even a glimmer of hope away from them is totally wrong.

This was the 1980s

I have no idea re the policy now , that same decade an old man told me that when babies were born badly disabled in his day’ the nurse "used the pillow .

And there was the infamous “Liverpool Pathway.”

Thanks I will read the articles.
As for trusting doctors, I would have a hard time with those who did not take the traditional Hippocratic Oath. Very few do these days…
