Hey 👋. Hope the wordplay with the title wasn't offensive or offputting.
So if you haven't read it in the news yet. It appears that a 9 and 11 (9/11) were euthanized in 2016 and 2017. Making them the youngest ever to be euthanized in Belgium.
I wrote a post about two months ago on the normalization of suicide, you can check it out here
This new story I think is yet another gateway to that process. I'd like to walk you through it now. But before I do here's the link to the article.
"In effect, the new law will permit children of any age to request euthanasia provided that they understand the consequences of their decision as verified and certified by a child psychiatrist or psychologist. The child must be in a ῾medically futile condition of constant and unbearable physical suffering that cannot be alleviated and that will result in death in the short term’ (Euthanasia Act 2002, section 3§1) and, although no age restriction is given, the child must also display the ῾capacity of discernment’ and be ῾conscious at the moment of making the request.’ (Euthanasia Act 2002, section 3§1). In addition, the child’s decision must be supported by a parent or legal guardian who has a right of veto. These statutory safeguards are rightly stringent and will limit those children who qualify. On this basis it is anticipated that the potential impact of the change in the law will be limited, albeit that this is very necessary."
Arguments lodged against this reform
"Three main philosophical arguments are usually advanced by those opposed to voluntary euthanasia. The first is that euthanasia is wrong in principle and that the existing Law on Euthanasia should be revoked, rather than extended. The second concerns coercion, in that persons from vulnerable groups may be pressured into seeking death. Children, by their inherent status, could fall squarely within this category, a factor further complicated by the need to involve third parties (those with parental responsibility and specialist doctors) in the decision-making process. The third is the ‘slippery slope’ argument which, in this context and at its most basic, asserts that laws which permit terminally ill autonomous adults to request euthanasia will lead inevitably to loosening of the law and permit other vulnerable groups being similarly allowed. In this way extending the law to children will be seen by some as being patent evidence of that ‘slippery slope’ in action."
Now that idea of coercion strikes me. And makes me think of the gender reassignment doctors coercing their patients and their parent into gender affirmative treatment in the US. Ironically using the fear that if they don't go with gender affirmative treatment their child will commit suicide. The medical profession is corrupt to the core. I wouldn't trust it with this kind of authority over euthanasia.
I'd like to state that I'm not against euthanasia outright. I believe under certain circumstances, giving one the relief of death is just. And I would never question the choice of the parents involved here. No parent should have to outlive their child, especially when it's a situation like this (fuck!). I couldn't imagine having to go through this with my own children.
A child's suffering is something that normal folk can't stand to see or hear about. But, that's where it succeeds in manipulating people's views. When we see a story like this, people feel sad, they feel empathetic to the children and their parents, for having to go through this. They will come to feel relieved. that finally the "unbearable suffering" is over. They may even feel gratitude for Belgium, for having made this possible by reforming their euthanasia law.
However, the fact of the matter is, we weren't there, we don't know what extent these children were suffering, we just see ages on a page with strong words like "unbearable suffering" and a couple disease name drops. The power of words can sway opinions, viewpoints, morals and ethics. I'm writing this post because of what I see in between the lines. I see more normalization of suicide. I see another way for them to kill us, kill our children. It may be in Belgium right now, but how long til it's everywhere?
All important measures, but for how long will it stand? Eventually, as the epidemic of suicide contagion continues among minors. We will more reforms, more qualifications for euthanasia will be added. It's a process of baby steps to where suicide is so normal that we have public suicide booths on the street corner.
SUICIDE MACHINE THAT COULD BE CONTROLLED BY THE BLINK OF AN EYE SPARKS EUTHANASIA DEBATE
That's the trigger word, that's the word that my eyes zoomed in on when I read the article. "Mental" that's important to note because I believe that eventually, that's all that will be required in the future. The normalization of Mental illness is a subject I wrote about awhile back.
The "Bell lets talk" campaign has been centered around getting people to open up and publicly discuss their mental health issues. The goal is to make it normal and therefore not a problem that needs to be dealt with.
'Let's talk' about the normalization of mental illness
Truth of the matter,?mental illness has many causes, most can be cured with a clean diet and a purge of all the toxic media one is exposed to on a daily basis.
Dr. Lawrence Dunegun recalls a presentation he attended by Dr. Richard Day from 20 years ago(1969). Shockingly, many of the predictions made on these tapes are true now today, and other long term predictions are more and more a reality every day.

Now compare to the stuff they are 'campaigning for' and tell me, do they compare?
Thanks for reading. Let me know, do you think I'm on to something. How do you feel about euthanasia? How do you feel about suicide in general? I appreciate any viewpoint you have I share on this sensitive issue. Thanks again.
