DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

In England they routinely take away food and water from those whom they 'think' should die soon.

That's how the routine practice of euthanasia began in Holland. "Druken aus" Drying out the patient can take a long time and just doesn't seem humane.

So they changed in the '80s from the dehydration approach to the more "humane" needle of instant death.
Very thrifty.
