The Slippery Slope in Luxembourg

February 20th, 2008 · No Comments

By a vote of 30 to 26 with three abstentions, the parliament of Luxembourg has legalized doctors’ killing of their patients. According to Kathnet:

Ärzte, die Beihilfe zum Selbstmord leisten, begehen mit dem neuen Gesetz keine Rechtsverletzung mehr.

Doctors, who assist with suicide, under the new law will suffer no legal penalties.

Luxembourg is 86% Catholic.
