Suicide: Serene and Beautiful




Suicide: Serene and beautiful. 



Let's not elevate this to "issue" status, but a cause we've heard described in the past here in the US as "doctor assisted suicide", or as in Belgium and a few other places, "euthanasia" made the international news today. 

It is the story about how two 45 year old twins in Belgium who were deaf and found out they were going blind, made the decision to die. Or as the various stories put it, be euthanized. 

They opted to kill themselves, or have themselves killed legally. 

I can't help but think that there is so much more to this story that isn't being told, but it is a sickening one, if true. 

There are a couple of questions raised in this particular link that I believe deserve attention, thought, and introspection. The main one I find troubling is the proposal from the ruling Socialists in the Belgium Parliament to allow this form of killing to apply to "adults suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's and to children 17 and younger."

With family permission, of course. 

Ah, killing in Europe is so very civilized. And so very socialist! 

No, doctor assisted suicide is not an issue. It is, as I've written many time previously, a cause. 

But it is an extremely disturbing cause, especially in the context of this particular case. 

This Belgium case is not euthanasia. It's suicide. Murder, actually, since the victims didn't actually do it themselves. 

The words serene and beautiful have never been used in a more twisted way as they were by the doctor quoted in this story. 

Horrifying would be a better description.

I could say a lot more, but all I need to say is that you've put it very well.
