WND is reporting that
the European Court of Human Rights has just legalized the right of doctors to
euthanize disabled people. It’s not just ironic that it’s called the
European Court of Human Rights, but scary to think that in 1950 this action was
proclaimed wrong by the European Convention on Human Rights. But now this
policy has been approved and imposes euthanasia on patients who cannot agree or
disagree and leaves their families with no power to intervene to save their
loved one.
After the
atrocities brought upon the world by Nazi Germany in World War II, western
society held them accountable convicting them in the Nuremburg Trials for acts
of unthinkable evil. One of those evil acts was the use of euthanasia to
eliminate those the government decided were unwanted, unneeded, and worthless.
Of course, the Nazis were the ones to determine the definition of
unwanted, unneeded, and worthless because they saw themselves as the political
elite ruling class who knew what was best for society.
The current
court decision came about in the case of Vincent Lambert of France. His family asked the court to protect him (he
suffered head injuries in a 2008 traffic accident that left him in a
quadriplegic state described as “minimally
conscious plus.” He is not dead and can digest food. The
court ruled that a bureaucracy can decide on euthanasia and his family has no
right to intervene.
Gregor
Puppinck, who represented Lambert’s right to life, said the court: “not
only held that in Europe, we can legally induce the death of a disabled patient
who did not ask to die, but in addition, it denies that patient the protection
of the convention against mistreatment.”
Don’t think for
a moment that just because it’s in Europe it isn’t important for America or
won’t happen here. America often follows Europe. The leftist progressives
want us to follow Europe on virtually everything. They believe the failed
socialism of Europe is a good model for America (it may have failed there, but
they think they know better how to make it work than the Europeans do).
(In
fact, a good example on a simple level is recently declared 2016 Democrat
presidential candidate Lincoln Chafee who is being reported by CNN as pushing to change America
to the metric system. He believes that Europeans do things much better
than Americans.)
Euthanasia
is no small thing. God values human life and those who do not will be
accountable to Him. You may not have noticed, but the political
leadership in this country sees themselves as the political elite ruling class
and rejected God and been pushing these ideas on us for some time.
In 2009
the left was trying to offset Sarah Palin’s comments that Obamacare had death
panels. Of course as the truth about Obamacare came out after it was
passed into law, she was proven right.
But
in early defense of the law, Newsweek published an article about it in which the author, Jon
Meachem, wrote: “the origins of what became the dreaded death panels show the
idea to be sensible and humane. We have to think about death
differently.”
These
are subtle things that the left carefully slips into society over time.
For example, they changed Germany and made it ripe for Hitler, but not
overnight. They changed the culture and attitude towards values starting
about 80-100 years before Hitler took over. They started working
diligently on America around the time of Woodrow Wilson’s presidency (1913 to
1921), which would put America right now at about the same place Germany was at
when Hitler rose to power.
German
professors Karl Binding and Dr. Alfred Hoche wrote in 1920, “The Permission To Destroy Life
Unworthy Of Life.”
They believed that taking the life of a patient was not against medical
ethics for patients that were terminally ill, had brain damage, were mentally
retarded, or had other mental health issues.
