Socialism: Belgium Psych Wards Are Now Euthanizing Mentally Ill Patients…
Wednesday September 13 2017
You
might have a crazy aunt Susie. She makes trouble at Thanksgiving, gives
you a paltry $5 at Christmas, and still pinches your cheek. Stingy or
not, Aunt Susie fights a brave battle against mental illness. Now
socialized healthcare might euthanize her (see OPINION: Charlie Gard: 0, Death Panels: 1 and Counting and Dutch Doctor Forcibly ‘Euthanized’ Elderly Patient. But it Gets Worse…). Courtesy of Bernie Sanders. #Caring
Here’s the scoop: psychiatric patients with persistent mental health conditions are currently being euthanized in Belgium.
The Belgian branch of the Brothers of Charity, also called the Brothers of Love, issued a statement TuesdayTranslation? Socialized healthcare is a slippery slope of death for sick babies
that they will continue offering euthanasia in each of their 15
psychiatric hospitals, despite receiving orders from the Vatican to
reverse their euthanasia policy by the end of August, according to Crux Now.
The
Belgian branch’s current policy allows for doctors to euthanize
non-terminal mentally ill patients upon request, so long as the doctor
determines that the patient’s suffering is “unbearable” and that there
is no reasonable chance of improvement with treatment. Belgian law has
no definition of unbearable suffering, however, which opens the door for
mentally ill patients with a chance of improvement being euthanized
instead, according to Professor Raphael Cohen-Almagor, Chair of Politics at England’s Hull University.
Regardless
of potential loopholes in Belgian law, the Catechism of the Catholic
Church remains clearly, opposed to euthanasia as evidenced in paragraph
2277, which states:
“Whatever its motives and means, direct
euthanasia consists in putting an end to the lives of handicapped, sick,
or dying persons. It is morally unacceptable.”
and sick minds. If Bernie gets his way, Aunt Susie’s struggle with
mental illness could all come to an abrupt end with one bad day and a
few willing doctors.
This
is socialist compassion. It looks like death. The irony here is that
leftists accuse anyone right of Bernie Sanders of being Nazis. Yet
they’re the ones currently “purifying” the human race by eliminating Down syndrome through abortion and mental illness via euthanasia.
It all sounds rather Hitlery.
