Netherlands Plans Expansion of Child Euthanasia Policy

[??????????]

I support euthanasia and assisted suicide i'm afraid. So for me Holland is making a progresive choice.

Then in your eyes Hitler was making progress as well. Hitler allowed euthanasia of infants as well. We already know the Dutch don't believe in prosecuting murderers no shock then they want to kill infants and marry homosexuals.

And then he pulled the Hitler card
1) Hitler allowed the brutal murder of Jews, Romas, any that disagreed with him ect
2) The notion that the Netherlands don't prosecute murderers are just silly. Disagree with the verdict and the time they serve, but murder is a quite serious crime in the Netherlands
3) kiiling infants having a bad day, ey?!
4) my my marrying homosexuals - what has that to do with euthanasia? could this be the decline and fall of Western Civilization

Hitler started out with the legalization of euthanasia for infants. The cases are very similar and I beg you to prove me wrong.

And to be honest Jens if I were to ever visit Europe I'd plan to stay very far away from that despicable nation. My god that place must be awful and I'd never want to give my money to a nation that support such disgusting practices.

You don't support child euthanasia do you?

I know of cases when early born brain damaged children are kept alive for years where putting them out of their missery would be a good thing. As I say earlier in this thread, I look upon it as a very difficult thing, but I believe that most of you Americans are overreacting (FOX'ing it, if that is a valid therm)

Read this article Jens, it seems the Dutch are in good company.

Not comparable. The Nazis used force and as part of an ideology of "pureness." The Dutch legislation aquire the consent of the parents and two doctors

The first family consented to the actions of Hitler and his doctors.

I fully support the right of mentally competent adults to doctor assisted suicide if they want it. But taking someone else's life without their consent is a different kettle of fish. It might be reasonable in the case of someone born with only a brain stem. In that situation the person has no chance for a meaningful life, but I have to agree that the risk for abuse is very high.

Wouldnt babies this bad off just die naturally anyways?

No, euthanasia is not preformed on infants here...legally that is. After all, we are a civilized nation.

Exactly. But it does happen. In secret.

The question is: is it better to be open about it, or not?

Its better to have the police knock down the doors of doctors suspected of preforming such procedures and having them stripped of their license and brought up on manslaughter charges.
