This should be a huge story, but isn’t. Belgian doctors have coupled euthanasia and organ harvesting—and write about it in respected medical journals. Moreover, the eligible for the euthanasia harvest are people with disabilities—such as MS—and even the mentally ill. Such actions give society a utilitarian stake in euthanasia, and the despairing a reason to think their deaths are worth more than their lives.
More details over at Secondhand Smoke in a post I call “Attack of the Euthanasia Organ Harvesters.”
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
