Deaf Twins Going Blind Euthanized

"Sounds a bit like Obamacare. The Big Brother Libtards loves these two boys. Their faces will be posted on the hallways of every state run center of health care in the new America. It says a lot about how this culture of death looks at infirmities. If a human isn’t perfect, it is preferable to kill them? This is shocking. Did you notice the way the story was presented as a touching little story with a happy ending. How sick is that? But seeing that the article was an ABC/Yahoo piece, I'm not surprised. The problem with shit like this is it doesn’t end. It starts out slowly and builds to madness. First, it’s only adults who are “terminally ill”. Sounds good to most liberals. Then, it extends to men like this who aren’t terminally ill but don’t want to live without sight or hearing. Still sounds good to liberals. Now, they are thinking they will extend it to children at the request of parents or doctors. How beautiful and caring liberals will say. Then, the madness kicks in even stronger – how about getting rid of grandma so we can inherit her riches – she has a slight case of dementia? Or, how about anyone suffering from depression who wants to kick the bucket or someone who has been labeled “insane” and their family wants to be rid of them. It  just gets worse and worse, just look at history. Don't want to make light of this, but when can we get Obama and Biden to have a cup of coffee in the hall and engage in rich conversation?" MC

Two deaf twin brothers in Belgium were euthanized by their doctor after realizing they were going blind and would be unable to see each other ever again, their physician says.

The 45-year-old men, whose names have not been made public, were legally put to death by lethal injection at the Brussels University Hospital in Jette, on Dec. 14.

The men, who were born deaf, had a cup of coffee and said goodbye to other family members before walking into hospital room together to die, their doctor told Belgian television station RTL.

“They were very happy. It was a relief to see the end of their suffering,” said Dr. David Dufour.

“They had a cup of coffee in the hall. It went well and a rich conversation. Then the separation from their parents and brother was very serene and beautiful,” he said. “At the last there was a little wave of their hands and then they were gone,”

More than 1,000 people legally availed themselves of doctor-assisted deaths in Belgium in 2011, most of
them were terminally ill cancer patients.

The brothers are unique in that their illness was not terminal. Belgian law, however, allows doctors to euthanize “suffering” patients who are both mentally sound, over 18 and want to die.

Belgian lawmakers are considering a law that would extend euthanasia to dementia patients and children, whose families and doctors consented.
