Dutch Politician: Don't Put Too Much Emphasis on Palliative Care
The Dutch continue to demonstrate how euthanasia pushes a country's ethics into a moral free fall. The current government apparently plans to stress palliative care. No, says Mark Rutte, the leader of one of the primary opposition parties! From the story: "Rutte says the new government puts too much emphasis on palliative care in the stance it has now taken on euthanasia. He fears that the government will try to somehow make palliative care into an full-fledged alternative that will make euthanasia superfluous."
We wouldn't want that, now would we?

That's amazing. If palliative care really rendered euthanasia superfluous, why should he object?
It would imply that life is better than death, that some choices are better than other choices, that human life has some important ultimate meaning. The culture of death brooks no dissent.
Yikes ! Does this guy think before he opens his mouth ? Or does he think support for his position is so strong that people will agree with him. Wow.
