“The last I checked the country was a complete basket case in need of euthenasia itself.”

And you checked this how? By traveling there and spending time with actual Belgians? I’m thinking not …

Check again and re-assess. They seem to be doing okay for a country of their size. I especially like the part where their budget is balanced, as opposed to being, say, 9.21 trillion dollars in debt.

Is Belgium even a country anymore?

Hell, Oliver, Belgium vs. far too much of the world. Just earlier this week a French woman named Chantal Sebire was found dead (and the autopsy confirmed her death was not natural) after a French court had denied her appeal for euthanasia. Ms. Sebire suffered from a rare and incurable growth of tumors in her nasal cavities that robbed her of her sight, taste, and smell in addition to causing monstrous disfigurement.

But the law in France said she had to live with it. She apparently told the law to go fuck itself.

To France’s credit, the Health Minister has called for a review of the law. The chances of that happening here are slim-to-none.

When our dogs and cats are stricken with old age or disease that will cause them immeasurable suffering, we are willing to grant them the relief of death. When people want the same consideration, you can’t do so, because of something people believe God may or may not have “said.”
