Euthanasia is legal in Belgium, and has been used on children. Townhall reports:
According to an article in The Brussels Times, a report from the Federal Commission for Euthanasia Control and Evaluation has revealed that euthanasia in Belgium is up 13%.
More striking than the general uptick in numbers, however–most of that increase represents patients between the ages of 60 and 89 years old, the majority having cancer–is the fact that in the years 2016 and 2017, three children also opted in to legally assisted suicide.
While euthanasia in Belgium was legalized for adults in 2003, it wasn’t extended to minors until more recently, in 2014. The law allows children of any age to procure a death via lethal injection, provided they have parental consent and an agreement is reached with a doctor and psychologist.
CNN reported that shortly after the first child was killed under the expanded age laws (in 2016), Belgian senator and supporter of euthanasia Jean-Jacques De Gucht said, “I think it’s very important that we, as a society, have given the opportunity to those people to decide for themselves in what manner they cope with that situation.”
This is barbaric.
This IS the socialist way!
“Barbaric” hardly expresses the outrage I feel at the moment upon reading this. These are the people our “Betters” here in America want us to emulate? “Hell No!”, I say. These are the people who are bending their knee and baring their collective necks before murderous Islam and we’re supposed to believe they know better how to live? Not hardly. My ancestors didn’t leave “Their Old Country” for the individual Liberty and opportunity to provide better lives for they and their progeny only for succeeding generations to squander it all and give it all back to some nameless, faceless amoral bureaucrats in government.
