Hitler's Euthanasia Decree

• Hitler's 1939 decree, increasing "the authority of certain physicians to be designated by name in such manner that persons who, according to human judgment, are incurable can, upon a most careful diagnosis of their condition of sickness, be accorded a mercy death." (From the records of the Nuremberg Trial's International Military Tribunal)

• ►Ample reports from the Netherlands reveal, patients who are depressed can be euthanatized; infants with disabilities are killed ("doctors had reported 22 cases between 1997 and 2004 of euthanasia of babies with spina bifida, a disabling birth defect affecting the spinal column.") ; and even those who are simply bored with life can be killed by their doctor. ("UTRECHT, January 11, 2005  - The Royal Dutch Medical Association has concluded, after a three-year investigation, that Dutch doctors ought to be able to kill patients who are not ill but who are judged to be "suffering through living.") see  http://www.chninternational.com/why_guidelines_for_euthanasia_wi.htm#DUTCH%20GUIDELINES%20FOR%20EUTHANASIA%A0
  
  Let us not forget, euthanasia began in increments, and it began with doctors killing the disabled.  Please read MEDICAL SCIENCE UNDER DICTATORSHIP by Dr. Leo Alexander - it is timely classic read that deserves serious consideration by those who believe safe guards will prevent abuse, whether it is euthanasia, or Physician assisted suicide.  Go to:  http://www.chninternational.com/leo_alexander_.htm
