Lowering the Price of Life

Euthanasia is legal in Belgium. I’ve often said euthanasia is a slippery slope to other things. Now Belgian doctors in three university hospitals are openly advocating the harvesting of organs from those who are euthanized. We all know there’s a shortage of donor organs. So imagine the incentive for doctors there to convince people with disabilities, and society at large, their deaths have greater value than their lives. In Belgium, 20 percent of those killed by euthanasia had neuromuscular disorders. This results in a relatively high quality of organs. You don’t need to be a prophet to see where this is going. Once you put a price tag on innocent human life, it only goes down from there until life is worth nothing. The price just went down in Belgium.
