Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide: Symptoms of a Culture of Death
And let us have no illusions! No matter what the promoters of euthanasia and assisted suicide might say, the slippery slope has proven to exist in countries and states that have legalized these deadly practices. The safeguards originally put in place are sooner or later ignored and the most threatened people are the sick, the aged, the disabled and the depressed. One example: a study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (May 2010) indicates that 32% of all euthanasia deaths in the Flanders (Belgium), between June and November 2007, were done without request or consent.
