Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.
The focus this time: Shut up, the homicidal physician explained!
First, a little mood music:
Carrying on…
The Netherlands has decided to include children under 12 on their kill list.
“For or the first time since a change in the law in the Netherlands, a child under the age of 12 has died by euthanasia.
“The death of the child was confirmed by the country’s health minister, Sophie Hermans, as she presented the annual report by the committee that reviews all late-term abortions and medically-assisted deaths of children to parliament on Monday.
“According to the report, the child was under the age of 12 and had been seriously ill, but no further details were given.
“Assisted dying for terminally sick children aged from one to 12 has been legal for two years in the Netherlands.”
This isn’t the first case of killing kids under 12 since infanticide has been legal for a while there.
“[D]octors commit legal infanticide when babies are born with terminal illnesses or serious disabilities. This is allowed under the ‘Groningen Protocol,’ a bureaucratic checklist to determine which babies are killable.
“After the Holocaust, infanticide was considered such an egregious human rights atrocity that some German doctors were hanged for having killed disabled babies. Their excuse? Killing these babies was compassionate and for the benefit of the babies as well as their parents and the Reich. …
“That defense didn’t fly. But it might these days, as Dutch doctors do the same thing and it is depicted benignly as ‘death with dignity.’”
