I’d forgotten the fuss about after-hours trading which preceded the demise
of the ‘six o’clock swill’ (October 25). But arresting little old ladies in
their homes for possession of balloons is so weird, it had to be a put-up job,
designed to get the public onside with said little old ladies and their fear of
“interminable” pain.
However, research shows that in the Netherlands, guidelines established for the
practice of assisted suicide are consistently violated and cannot be enforced.
Last year, 56 people had themselves euthanised because of “incurable” PTSD. In
Belgium a child of any age can ask to be killed.
We need to think of the awful
consequences of giving in to fear instead of striving for solutions to
pain. What’s driving the demand for euthanasia is individualism cloaked in
humanism, and it’s opposed not by religion so much as by realism.
