Belgium legalized euthanasia a few years ago, and has already descended into infanticide. Now euthanasia proponents in the parliament want to legally force hospitals to carry out euthanasia in their facilities even if the patient’s own doctor refuses. From the story:The Flemish liberals do not object to physicians having the right to refuse to perform euthanasia, but in such cases the hospital itself must ensure that the patient’s request is carried out by another doctor.
Flanders is the closest culturally to the Netherlands, which is probably why euthanasia advocacy is most strident in that section of Belgium.

You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
