Euthanasia by Organ Harvesting - A 'First Things' examination of current practice in Belgium ... and no doubt in a province near you soon.

"Ponder the enormity of what was done here. Four people—who were not otherwise dying—were killed and then swiftly wheeled into a surgery suite to have their organs removed. Three of the donors were struggling with neuromuscular disabilities—people who often face social isolation and discrimination—and one was mentally ill.

  1. Frightening indeed, but it will (Perhaps already has/is?) happen here under whatever legislation our Catholic leaders decide on .

Nothing could be further from the truth. Venom is something that is oriented to death. Christians are oriented in a 180 degree different direction.
