If you don't think the Culture of Death permeates our society, look who's getting out of prison today.
Dr. Death himself.
So what are Dr. Death's future plans?
"He is expected to now move to Bloomfield Hills, just outside Detroit, where he will live with friends and resume the artistic and musical hobbies he missed while in prison. His lawyer and friends have said he plans to live on a small pension and Social Security while doing some writing and make some speeches, although he said he doesn't expect them all to be on euthanasia or assisted suicide."
From Ramesh Ponnuru's The Party of Death, on Kevorkian and the Hemlock Society, and the rule of law:
"Kevorkian got his nickname [Dr. Death] early in his medical career because of his habit of trying to photograph patients' eyes at the moment of their deaths. Also early in his career, he campaigned to legalize experimentation on death-row inmates. (Nazi concentration-camp experimenters, he once explained, 'did the right thing,' except for the lack of anesthesia and consent forms.) His goal was to create a new field of medicine called 'obitiatry.'...
"...The Hemlock Society, which may be the leading pro-euthanasia organization nationally, started calling for the legalization of assisted suicide for people with 'incurable conditions.' It also uses the phrase 'irreversibly ill adult' to describe the object of its lethal solicitude. If you take them at their word, they want people with arthritis to be able to have themselves killed.
"Any assisted-suicide law practically presupposes that it can be rational for some people to commit suicide...If it is rational for someone to choose suicide, then it might be irrational not to choose it."
And we let people who think like this out of jail? How does 130+ assisted suicides equate to 8 years in prison under our justice system?
It's disrespect for human life, plain and simple. And it happens when the Party of Death has influence. Now more than ever, they have to be stopped - this should serve as a stark reminder.
