Friday, May 17, 2002"This will be a typically bureaucratic and unworkable Belgian commission, because 50% have to be pro-life members and the other half pro-euthanasia, while to bring a prosecution the law requires a two-thirds majority," said Herman Mys, professor of medical law at Leuven University.” In other words, they stacked the cards so that no one will ever be approved for euthanasia. Why did they bother with making a law permitting it to begin with? Did the Belgian politicians just not have the courage to say they think euthanasia is wrong? CORRECTION: A reader pointed out that I misread the Belgian euthanasia story. They're talking about needing a two-thirds majority to prosecute someone for euthanasia, not to OK euthanasia. posted by Sydney on 5/17/2002 07:51:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
