http://www.lifenews.com/patient2.jpgHere is proof positive that the international drive to legalize assisted suicide/euthanasia is not really about terminal illness. The World Federation of Right to Die Societies has reissued its “Manifesto.” Here it is in full. Notice that all competent adults with an “incurable” illness are supposed to have this right. That is not the same thing as a terminal illness. Arthritis is incurable. Asymptomatic HIV infection is incurable. So may be bi-polar disease. Thus, the Manifesto is a call for establishing an almost open-ended right throughout the world for death on demand. The legalization of assisted suicide/euthanasia would, by definition, harm society. It corrupts the purposes of medicine, it discriminates against the vulnerable by permitting the facilitation of some suicides, while requiring the prevention of others, and it opens the door to the fall of a steep moral cliff as has occurred in the Netherlands where, after 30 years of euthanasia, the parliament will soon legalize eugenic infanticide. Read the complete story.**
