Holland's Horror

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> THE LEAST AMONG US br> Re: George Neumayr's In Service to Inhumanity : /p> 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." br> -- S. Batty /p> p> 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. br> -- R.C. Edwards /p>

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."
