Reader outcry: Where will euthanasia end? Also: A Lawrence Henry catalogue. Recounting Washington state. Federalist gun fetish. A Nobel doll's house. Plus more.

p>As a physician and recent father of a child with spina bifida, I
am truly horrified by this monstrosity be purported in the name of
"protecting life" by "assisting a little in death." As the first
tenet of Medicine is "primum non nocere" (first, do no harm), I
find the euthanasia issue illogical to begin with. My son is a
joyful baby, a delight to his parents and siblings. Whether or not
he may meet some truly arbitrary standard of normal is irrelevant.
A society is judged on how they protect the least among them. Not
how clean or neat or tolerant they are. I pray for the people of
Holland and the monsters they have as their "physicians."

Thanks to Mr. Neumayr for this thoughtful article. It is chilling
beyond belief. Herr Doktor Verhagen is the moral and spiritual
descendant of Joseph Mengele.

George Neumayr's article on Dutch euthanasia for babies, and this
Verhagen character's comment "we are actually talking about
children that are already in a dying process."
