Boston billboard promotes euthanasia
Drivers exiting the Callahan Tunnel in East Boston this month could view a billboard suggesting that in order to die with dignity one must do so on one’s own terms.

Paid for by the Final Exit Network, the black sign with white letters reads, “Irreversible Illness? Unbearable suffering? Die With Dignity.” It is part of a nation-wide campaign to legalize physician-assisted suicide.

“Obviously, they are targeting Massachusetts and New England states, trying to find some low hanging fruit to get some kind of suicide bill on the agenda,” said Kristian Mineau, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute. “Hopefully the citizens of this state are wise enough to understand the horrific dangers of this.”

How disgusting. Yet another attack on the sanctity of human life.

One thing we must understand, euthanasia no longer means the patient controlling his/her own death. It means some doctor will decide, behind your back, to kill you, and will kill you without ever notifying you or getting informed consent.

Anyone who doubts what I say, should look up what happened at Memorial Hospital in New Orleans, on September 4, 2005, a few days after Hurricane Katrina, and what did the Supreme Court rule on the case. Dr. Anna Pou and two nurses deliberately killed nine patients with a lethal dose of morphine and midazolam, and the Supreme Court refused to indict the killers. To the Supreme Court, this was “euthanasia”, and they were cool with that. One of the old ladies was heard anxiously asking about her daughter, as she was waiting for her daughter to come into the hospital, minutes before she was killed. Nobody told her that they were going to kill her. She didn’t ask to be killed, quite to the contrary. She was waiting to be reunited with her daughter. This doctor simply walked up to her and killed her with a lethal injection, and she never knew she was being injected with something designed to kill her. Out of 9 patients killed, only 2 had a prescription for morphine, and not a single one of them had a prescription for midazolam. Yet, all 9 were injected with a mixture of morphine and midazolam, by a doctor (Dr. Pou) who wasn’t even assigned to their ward in the first place! And the Supreme Court refused to hear this case, and nobody got indicted. Not Dr. Anna Pou, not the other two nurses, not the hospital management. This is the new definition of euthanasia, and this is what the US Supreme Court finds acceptable in our days.
