Publisher's Synopsis
Euthanasia--the act of assisted suicide--was once outlawed in every country in the world because it destroys civilizations. The problem is that representative democracy in Western countries allows politicians to acquire an authority that goes beyond the power of the people. A questionable agenda can therefore be endorsed in parliamentary legislation. Euthanasia is one of them.
The opinions of professionals, doctors of medicine and academics can sway the government because they have a power assumed to be in the bes interest of the people. When a politician with the gift of the gab obtains leadership in a democratic representative country, he or she can act like a dictator. The media is so powerful that it can endorse a personal agenda as though the people approved of some minority or controversial argument. The worms in proposed legislation can therefore be covered up in parliament and in the media.
In 1996-97 the Federal Parliament of Australia provided evidence from euthanasia countries in Europe that regulations and procedures endorsed as safeguards in Euthanasia Laws do not work. The states ignored that evidence as though it did not exist. Opposing arguments were also ignored as unprofessional. The people were not consulted. The euthanasia premier of Victoria used compassion and emotion as a political tool to endorse the World Euthanasia Movement's Agenda in Parliament itself. Other states in Australia are copying Victoria's Euthanasia end-of-life death Laws.
In Victoria murder under certain conditions is not a crime anymore. Those with a terminal illness are not the only ones who can be murdered under Euthanasia Laws. The targeted are killed in cold blood contrary to their 'No, No, No, No' screams. Thousands of innocent medical clients are euthanized in European countries every year without their knowledge or consent. This book investigates the implementation of twenty-first century Euthanasia Laws advocated by the World Euthanasia Movement that penetrates European and Western democratic parliaments.
