Those Who Do Not Study History are Damned(yes, damned) to Repeat It!

So, we are going to add the Dutch to the list of countries who have jumped on the ‘mercy killing’ bandwagon.

“Dutch health officials are considering guidelines doctors could follow for euthanizing terminally ill people "with no free will," including children, the severely mentally retarded and patients in irreversible comas.”

Sounds an awful lot like this to me:

“In October of 1939 amid the turmoil of the outbreak of war Hitler ordered widespread "mercy killing" of the sick and disabled.
“Code named "Aktion T 4," the Nazi euthanasia program to eliminate "life unworthy of life" at first focused on newborns and very young children. Midwives and doctors were required to register children up to age three who showed symptoms of mental retardation, physical deformity, or other symptoms included on a questionnaire from the Reich Health Ministry.”

Where the hell is the global outrage?

‘Don’t you dare put panties on the heads of killers, but we better kill that little retard before he breeds!’

I’m embarrassed to be a human.
