A regional euthanasia review board had said in a 2016 report that the doctor had put the sedative dormicum into the woman’s coffee to ensure she was peaceful while the fatal drug was administered a few minutes later.
But it found that the elderly woman stood up while the euthanasia drug was being injected, adding that “the patient’s family then helped to restrain the patient and the doctor quickly administered the rest”.
And this is exactly how the National Socialist regime began it’s killing spree in 1937.
Nihilism revisited…because it takes real caring, which is far too EXPENSIVE $$$!
When you make doctors hired assassins it never ends well…evidently we have learned well the lessons of history.
Meanwhile, back at the gates of hell…

The family that slays together….
or in the casse of canibals … dines together ..
ABsolutely shocking. This is why euthenasia is wrong. And how many ddn’t stand up beforehand?
I’m not shocked. This was to be expected when they introduced “mercy” killing. Nothing humans devise works perfectly so any system to provide euthanasia will allow for people to abuse it to procure the death of inconvenient relatives or patients and will kill some people who said they want it in but do so in circumstances that don’t match their request.
In the case of a patient who clearly expresses a wish for assisted suicide due to, for instance, a terminal illness, why is euthanasia wrong?
Another graduate of the Gosnel Institute of Medical Unethics…..
The woman had dimentia, full stop.
Any drastic instructions demand to become null and void. I know thats a radical position.
In the case of the State clearly expressing a wish for eugenics due to, for instance, terminal illness and its associated “costs”, why is State sponsored eugenics wrong? I wonder if Hitler asked himself this question.
if you want to commit suicide do it, just don’t ask someone else to kill you. Got it. It is freaking immoral, evil, vile not to mention stupid.
Was the will read out in the afternoon? or was it the next day…
I can’t imagine this is a good thing for any country. A few goalposts moved here and there and it could really damage the finely balanced cost of housing.
It was called Aktion T4.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktion_T4
“Several reasons have been suggested for the programme, including eugenics, compassion, reducing suffering, racial hygiene, economy and pressure on the welfare budget.”. At least Nazi Germany waited until after they started WWII. What is the Netherland’s excuse?
“The programme was authorized by Hitler but the killings have since come to be viewed as murders in Germany.” The Germans have come so far in 75 years. /sarc
“Although the woman had regularly stated that she wanted to die, on other occasions she had said that she did not want to die,” it added.”
And THIS is exactly why decisions like this have to be made by a government agency. Ordinary people can change their mind, and waffle, especially if they come from a religious background, but a bureaucrat can dispassionately reach a logical conclusion without bias.
In cases such as this one, where the woman’s Will was unclear, the estate should go to the State, to be fairly disbursed as they see fit.
This idea will come to Canada soon,I’m surprised it hasn’t already.Perhaps the Trudeau government will explore this after they win the 2019 election. Imagine the relief on Canada’s Pension plan if those over 80 were euthanized, “for the good of the people”, there would be more for everyone else.
When Sarah Palin mentioned “death panels” a few years ago, everyone on the Left said she was insane, most of us on the Right recognized that she was just a few years ahead of the times, as Orwell was with his “1984”.
It will become a financial necessity to eliminate costly,unproductive people who are helpless and can’t fight back. We will see it here sooner than you’d think.
Don’t be silly … a bureaucrat signing a death, er euthanasia, warrant isn’t a “death panel”. Just an efficient cog in the machinery of the State. Quite ‘scientific’ and ‘mathematical’ really. Silly outmoded things like ‘sentiment’, ‘religion’ and ‘emotions’ have been eliminated from the decision-making process. What could be ‘better’?
They already program NPCs to pull the plug before they become a burden to save “the system” money. I used to oppose it until I realized who would sign up for the program. Now I say have at it comrades, you first.
wtf are you talking about mr morris? WHO is ‘gubbamint’? hmmm? it’s PEOPLE who make lots of mistakes and seek power and kill for money.
jeezuz murphy, didnt you read the article?
Are patients still considered patients when you are trying to kill them? Isn’t “victim” a better descriptor?
When you make doctors hired assassins the ‘patient’ is transmogrified into the “target aquired”.
Or more transparently the doctor is the killer, while the patient becomes the murdered.

Why would a doctor want to kill people? Makes no sense to me.
Money. Specifically, a cut of the victim’s estate, paid in cash under the table.
It’s only a short journey from “pre-emptive euthanasia” to “retrospective abortion”.
It’s become ok to murder at both ends of life now. Old Folk Burden Universal Reduction Program (OF-BURP). Don’t wait for tax reductions though.
Exactly.
Mostly all of the above. Particularly Hans and Don.
Murder is still murder no matter how one dresses it up with fancy euphemisms.
I remember people warning about this very thing and being ignored.
Why, Scar, only to cure them, of course. When they are dead they are no longer afflicted with whatever ailed them, ergo “cured.”
tooner is getting a head start on ‘newspeak’.
I think proponents of this should get euthanized before it’s mandatory.
Hmmm. Frees up the estate.
I’ll bet she didn’t get to pick a color, or listen to Beethoven’s 6th.
“Soylent Green” is paradise. This is the stuff of Larkin.
This effectively turns medical doctors into doctors of veterinary medicine who specialize in one type of large animal.
“Dutch doctor faces first euthanasia prosecution…”
I do think that doctors are the weak link in legalized euthanasia.
A concerted campaign aimed at directing a torrent of legal action – even if unsuccessful – against killer MDs could make them very reticent about the whole business, particularly if they start to become too well known as “the doctor who killed our grandmother”.
The “patient” never wanted to die.
Her children hired a “doctor” to murder her for her money.
It’s always about killing Mom and Dad before their medical bills swallow up whatever equity is left in the family home.
Every. Single. Time.
Liberal parents take note, that is what the children you haven’t aborted will do to you.
Normally, I have always been against this. This summer I watched someone I loved suffer and die from terminal cancer. Once all options were run out, she gave in and requested assisted suicide, but she could not get it. It has to be signed by non family members in Canada, and a couple of her best friends were practicing Catholics, so no way she would even approach them. By this time she was pretty drugged anyways, and had trouble stringing together thoughts cohesively.
So she suffered, and her ending was worse than that described in this story, in front of her family. And it was “natural”
After witnessing that, I know what I would prefer over a 6 to 8 week pain filled, morphine fogged suffer fest, and go out in a spasm attack in your loved ones arms, gasping and convulsing. There is a time when it is mercy, and that should not be forgotten either.
