This Blog considers assisted suicide/euthanasia, bioethics, human cloning, biotechnology, radical environmentalism, and the dangers of animal rights/liberation. My views expressed here, as in my books and other writings, reflect my understanding that the philosophy of human exceptionalism is the bedrock of universal human rights. Or, to put it another way: human life matters. (The opinions expressed here are my own and not necessarily those of any organization with which I am affiliated.)
The Council of Europe has rejected calls to permit euthanasia. Interesting, that this AP story was not reported widely in the U.S. I had to go to Pravda, for gosh sakes, to get the story. Not surprisingly, when the General Assembly called by a margin of almost 3-1 for member states to outlaw all forms of human cloning, that story was also ignored by the media.
