Insanity, Squared
Did you know that the government of Germany has approved assisted suicide, or the correct term, euthanasia? And with Germany’s recent history in mind, that makes the idea of medical professionals (whose Hippocratic oath demands that they “First, do no harm”) being directed to help people to die even more horrific than it already is.
A Townhall story tells of a new policy put out by the German Euthanasia Association requiring that patients who wish to access German euthanasia clinics’ services must be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus! So, the Germans, who already have a sinister history of mass murder, are requiring that their assisted-suicide clients be vaccinated against the virus (which is no threat to people already wishing to terminate their own lives). Apparently to “protect” clinic staff.
The German Euthanasia Association announced that unvaccinated patients will not be able to end their lives with the help of a German euthanasia clinic over fears that one of their doctors could become infected with COVID-19.
Euthanasia is already insanity, going against the sacredness of all human life. This new policy is insanity squared. The story left me shaking my head in dismay. How can intelligent people be in favor of such a disgusting policy? Maybe they’re not so intelligent after all and have forgotten the horrors of the Holocaust. Obviously, they care more for themselves than their patients. This seems to go right along with the policies of the German Catholic bishops, who support homosexuality and have decided to allow “marriage” between people of the same sex. Both policies are antithetical to the survival of the human race. Germany should be ashamed.

Agreed. But the pro-abortion side are much more honest about what they want.
Why doesn’t SCOTUS just butt out and let the states decide?
That’s what reversing Roe would do.
Then explain how you would write it so we can be 100 percent assured there will be no abuses by which people can suicide inconvenient parents, political undesirables, defectives,etc. One thing that would help would be to institute a strict, 100 ft high, everlasting wall between the medical professions and the suiciders. But I’m not sure that would be enough. So what else? And how would you get political support for those protections?
Ask my Mom.
You’re the advocate. I’m asking you.
We seem to have gone in a circle then. I’ll stack my experience against any nebulous argument. Carry on.
You say it’s a nebulous argument. Prove it. Just slapping a label on it doesn’t support any kind of stack, whether of pancakes or of experience.
You prove it. You’re the one who made a ridiculous claim — that enabling people to avoid needless suffering is inseparable from Nazi horrors. I submit that your understanding of one or both ends of this is lacking.
I didn’t make that claim. My claim is that instituting medical euthanasia is inseparable from Nazi horrors without any of the safeguards you haven’t been willing to think about.
Goodbye.
A simple admission that you don’t want to talk about the issues would have sufficed.
