Doctor has family restrain woman during lethal injection
'That's, of course, a picture that is a horrible picture'
Published: 14 hours ago
A Dutch doctor carrying out a lethal injection on an elderly woman ordered her family to restrain her when she resisted, creating what even euthanasia advocates called a “horrible picture.”
The case has been documented by a regional review board in the Netherlands, reported the National Catholic Register, which noted the church “has always considered euthanasia, like suicide, a ‘gravely evil choice,’ while allowing that grave fear of hardship, suffering or torture can lessen the responsibility of persons who take their own life.”
The church’s catechism bluntly states, “All those who knowingly and willingly perform or assist in carrying out the act of terminating the patient’s life have committed murder.”

In this case, the Right to Die wasn't involved. This was murder, pure and simple.

I think you misunderstood his point. He's suggesting that the "right to die" movement quickly degenerates to a "duty to die" movement.
This is pretty much a case in point.

Only if the focus isn't on patients' rights.
