)Euthanasia advocates like to present themselves as “helping people to die,” but that’s not really true. Everyone is going to die, that’s a natural process. Their goal is to actually kill people - to cause them to die. That is an entirely different verb. Today, in the Netherlands, more than one out of every twenty people who do die are in fact, intentionally killed by one of those whose job it was to care for them. There is no longer a need for terminal diagnosis, there is no longer a need for a request. Doctors are killing because it’s what suits them. This is what always happens when medicine is free to be used as a killing implement.
