Dutch Euthanasia Society promoting euthanasia for people who are “tired of life”

The petition is asking the Dutch legislature to approve euthanasia for people who are over the age of 70 and “tired of life.”

Yeah, don't treat your depression, change your thinking, find new values, volunteer, take up a sport, or do a host of things that could improve your mental health.

Just kill yourself!

And the liberals will be all over this, because autonomy is all that matters. Not In their minds: if they want the fast-food solution to their life's problems, well darn it, that's their business. After all, cheap compassion is easier than actually helping them.
