Busy Times for the Culture of Death
From the Telegraph a report that neighbors of the Swiss assisted suicide clinic want them evicted:
Residents who share a block of flats with Dignitas, the controversial assisted suicide charity, have launched a campaign to evict the organisation from the buiding.
In eight years, more than 450 people have killed themselves with barbiturates in a fourth-floor apartment in Zurich, owned by the Swiss charity. The bodies are put in a zipper bag and transported in the three-person lift, or carried downstairs.
Traumatised by the experience of passing living people going up in the lift, only to come across them hours later descending in a body bag, some residents want to move out of the block.
***
According to Australian ABC Radio, the New Zealand Ministry of Health has declined to charge Philip Nitschke for practicing medicine without a license for his assisted suicide workshops. He will return to continue the workshops, but the Medical Council has threatened to try to make another charge stick.
***
I've posted before that Amnesty International was considering a policy making the killing of babies a basic human right. Now it seems they are ready to push this policy at their next general meeting, according to LifeSite. I agree with Congressman Christopher Smith of New Jersey:
"I would hope they reject it," he said. "They would cease to be a human rights organization and morph into just another anti-child, pro-abortion organization."
The bishop who penned the "Amnesty Prayer" and is a thirty year member has already resigned in protest.
