(The Corner) – When it comes to euthanasia, I am rarely wrong.
For years, I have argued that the terminal illness limitation is a ruse to get us used to killing as an acceptable answer to suffering. Once society swallowed the poisonous meme, sooner or later the killing license would be expanded to others who suffer more profoundly and longer than the dying. If the dying can be lethally jabbed or prescribed, why not the severely depressed or the chronically ill?
I never heard a cogent denial, just claims of the SLIPPERY SLOPE fallacy!
No, facts on the ground. Belgium and Netherlands both permit euthanasia for the mentally ill–and couple it with organ harvesting. CONTINUE
