Here's a frightening story out of Switzerland explaining how Exit, an aggressive assisted suicide organization, is demanding greater access to the nation's nursing homes. The euthanasia activists are already killing people in the country. And in nursing homes and hospitals too. Exit alone dispatched 245 people last year. But apparently the culture of death wants to do away with a lot more and so the...

As capitalism implodes, a related item in today’s Denver Post caught my eye. Apparently, Greeley resident Paula Harding could no longer afford the vet bills for her sick 15-year-old dog and, after trying OD him on anti-anxiety pills, she shot him. (Ironically, The Humane Society offers euthanasia starting at $35 and Harding is being held on a $5,000 bond.) This sad story is yet another facet in this...

I just got the news from the vet. In a multi-cat household this is a disaster. There’s no FIV vaccine licensed for use in the EU, only the US. The vet advised euthanasia to protect the other four cats, but I said there’s no point—Mandrake has been with us eight years, since he was a [...]

Lindsay Mitchell writes about National's proposed increased funding for palliative care/hospices and quite correctly points out that state funding of palliative care and the proposed "death with dignity" bill make uncomfortable bed fellows. I do disagree with her on one point. I believe there is no justification for euthanasia. Now this isn't taken from a conservative christian/every life is sacred...

Briefing. From the Christian Legal Centre: In 2006 the Voluntary Euthanasia Society (VES) changed its name to Dignity in Dying. The group were seeking to monopolise the phrase to advance their ideology, particularly in the educational sphere. Many people felt that a monopoly of the words “dignity in dying” were misleading for an organisation which advocated euthanasia. In August 2007, the Christian...

Many citizens, including many who call themselves serious Christians, and intend to be, are dancing on the edge of this abyss, seemingly unaware...
