Dutch Politician: Don’t Put Too Much Emphasis on Palliative Care

The Dutch continue to demonstrate how euthanasia pushes a country’s ethics into a moral free fall. The current government apparently plans to stress palliative care. No, says Mark Rutte, the leader of one of the primary opposition parties! From the story: “Rutte says the new government puts too much emphasis on palliative care in the stance it has now taken on euthanasia. He fears that the government will try to somehow make palliative care into an full-fledged alternative that will make euthanasia superfluous.”

We wouldn’t want that, now would we?
