Euthanasia & Organ Harvesting
Today I discovered this disturbing article about Euthanasia and Organ Harvesting in Belgium. Here is an excerpt from the article:

This is very troubling. (Honestly a part of me is not surprised since this is the same country that produced Jean Claude Van Damme.) To put things into historical context the Nazi's promoted similar euthanasia programs. First the sick were targeted, then the mentally ill, until finally an entire race. Belgium might not be a Nazi Germany, but if it begins down this perilous road who knows what other brutalities might be sanctioned. If this heinous practice is allowed to continue and develop in Belgium then what would stop other European countries from following suit? One must remember that the evil philosophies of Communism and Nazism began in Europe. It took a world war to stop the spread of these ideologies. I am afraid that Europe once again is heading towards dangerous territory. It is a slippery slope; immorality tolerated breeds more immorality. I am calling upon the entire international community to condemn Belgium for this despicable practice.
"We don’t get to the Brave New World in one giant leap. Rather, the descent to depravity is reached by small steps. First, suicide is promoted as a virtue. Vulnerable people like Frances become early casualties. Then follows mercy killing of the terminally ill. From there, it’s a hop, skip, and a jump to killing people who don’t have a good “quality” of life, perhaps with the prospect of organ harvesting thrown in as a plum to society."
