It would be great to be born in Belgium

i was reading today where Belgium gave the euthanasia green light to a healthy 24 year old woman who has been wanting to die since she was a kid. She claimed that life was just not for her. I can relate to that in so many ways. Euthanasia for the mentally ill is gaining ground in that great nation, I just wish it would gain the same kind of ground in the ole US of A.

I remember when Brittney Maynard was giving interviews about her right to die due to her terminal brain tumor. I was hoping that her message would spread to the nifty 50. Unfortunately, when she died, the movement seemed to die with it. No other state passed euthanasia laws since then. I think euthanasia should be seen as a privacy right, just like abortion is. I figured that if euthanasia would be legalized in all 50 states, especially if the Supreme Court ruled in favor of it instead of the religious fundamentalist voting to stop it, it would one day cover people like me and many of you with long suffering mental illness. Ugh maybe someday.

also I’m tired of people comparing the legalization of euthanasia to Nazi Germany’s euthanasia program. BIG difference there! In Nazi Germany they forced people to be euthanized who they deemed unfit for society. They did it in the name of eugenics and “racial hygiene”.

In the west, we want it in the name of CHOICE to END OUR SUFFERING! An entirely different agenda from the Nazis. If you wanna see modern concentration camps look at hospices where people are begging to die. I seen this one video done by Philip Nichske where he was interviewing this man dying from cancer. He said if he had a gun he would blow his brains out and begged for help. The patient/victims name was Max. The poor man suffered and suffered for days against his will in a modern concentration camp until he died.
