Here are six lessons and they apply every bit as much to New Zealand as Belgium
Lesson one: the expanding circle (Take note Maryan Street)
Lesson two: euthanasia-minded doctors prefer easy deaths to complicated social work
Lesson three: safeguards are meant to be hurdled (Again Take note Maryan Street)
Lesson four: if you’re disabled, you’re in trouble. (Are you listening Maryan?)
Lesson five: compassionate euthanasia has a price tag
Lesson six: not enough Belgians are being euthanased but the government has a plan.
Lesson Six…give more attention to the Massashussets referenda for assisted killing, where there was a strong alliance between pro-lifers and disability rights organisations that led to that referendum’s defeat? What about it, Right to Life?
Lesson Seven…don’t support binding referenda.
