Exit, the largest of these, reported 1204 assisted suicides in 2018. That\u2019s a 23 percent increase from 2017.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Dignitas, another major assisted suicide clinic \u2014 to which people from around the world attend to be made dead in what is known as \u201csuicide tourism\u201d \u2014 facilitates at least 200 more self-poisonings each year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Think about this. Between Exit, Dignitas, and other small suicide clinics, nearly 200 people are facilitated in killing themselves each month, paying thousands of dollars to be made dead. Meanwhile, more than 100,000 people are members of these suicide clubs, a necessity to eventually receive death assistance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;That\u2019s nihilism. It\u2019s also a strong vote of &#8216;no confidence&#8217; in doctors\u2019 ability to palliate care and control symptoms \u2014 who are, ironically, then turned to for assistance in being made dead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5371\" src=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif 500w, https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line-300x22.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proving, yet again, that euthanasia was never going to be limited to those with a terminal illness to die &#8220;with dignity&#8221; by sacrificing but a few months, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/07\/09\/france-latest-country-authorize-killing-people-arent-dying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">France<\/a> legalized killing people who <em>aren&#8217;t<\/em> dying and <em>haven&#8217;t chosen<\/em> to die by starvation\/dehydration.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;In 2008, Vincent Lambert suffered an accident that left him paraplegic and semi-conscious. Since then, Lambert, who although he suffered severe brain damage still responds when spoken to and regularly wakes up, has been kept alive on life support. This week, a high French court ruled that Lambert should be denied food and water and allowed to die, a process that could take up to two weeks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Although Lambert\u2019s wife supports letting him die, his Catholic parents and siblings, along with the Vatican, are fighting to keep him alive. Although euthanasia is illegal in France, doctors and the courts have found this horrific work-around. Instead of administering drugs to kill a patient who isn\u2019t dying, they just starve them to death&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TTFN.<\/p>\n<p><meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@PoliticHatBlog\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ThePoliticalHat\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Gallery of Suicide: Canada Harvesting From The Living; Swiss Expanding Euthanasia Clinics; France Killing The Non-Terminal\"\/><meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"The focus this time: One way or another, they're gonna find ya, they're gonna getcha!\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/EaglewithFlag.gif\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Another &#8220;quick takes&#8221; on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The focus this time: One way or another, they&#8217;re gonna find ya, they&#8217;re gonna getcha! &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/2019\/07\/25\/quick-takes-gallery-of-suicide-canada-harvesting-from-the-living-swiss-expanding-euthanasia-clinics-france-killing-the-non-terminal\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5372,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[9,42,69,35],"class_list":["post-15825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-progressives","tag-europe","tag-mood-music","tag-quick-takes","tag-rip"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15825"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15826,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15825\/revisions\/15826"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
