Euthanasia is
becoming all the rage in the “civilized” Western nations of Europe and North
America. Canada has its MAID (Medical Assistance In Dying) program and is
trying to expand it. Democratic-run states are trying to expand and nationalize
euthanasia in America, as well. Some are seeking to make the mentally ill
eligible for assisted dying. You know, like Trump supporters, for example. The
“MAGA types” that President Biden is always angrily bloviating about. For their
own good-- and ours-- they would claim.
Last year the
Netherlands made all ages eligible for euthanization. And now new guidelines state that parents can decide to have their
child euthanized-- in conjunction with a doctor-- even if the
child is unwilling or unable to consent.
Even against the child’s will. Monstrous.
But, really, why be upset? It’s just very late term
abortion after all, right?
“Sorry, son, your mom and I discussed this, and you’ve been
outvoted, 2 to 1. It’s curtains for you.” (I picture this classic Monty Python sketch.)
I yearn for the
days when I was young…and thought “euthanasia” was “youth in Asia” and wondered
why it seemed controversial.
On the other hand,
I sometimes look at what’s happening in the world today and think: “maybe they
are on to something.”
