We’ve done Nazi Germany one better; we’ve convinced our “undesirables” to turn themselves in for execution.
Far too many people are ignoring the chilling similarities between Nazi Germany and the current culture of death.
'Death-on-demand culture' risky, ethics expert warns

Probably because the subject is far too complex and dynamic for mere casual exploration. Some people, certainly, will elect to undertake the question, but even among experts they frequently settle on the wrong questions, attempting to define the problem in easily communicable, popular terms and thus rendering the proposition in such a form as to demonstrate exactly the need for experts who can't do their job.
In the face of that, weep for the common soul.

We live in increasingly amoral, (not immoral) times.
Anything goes.

The article says:
"medical and technological advances now allow doctors to do more for their patients, including detecting defects in unborn children, which is adding to a death-on-demand culture."
Nazi germany had a state planned law in action against certain types of birth. In our society its the couple or mother that decides whether they want to raise a child with birth defects. I think its outrageous to force someone to give birth to a child they do not wish to raise or cannot afford to care for.

Its the hysteria they try and employ to justify their anit-abortion, anti-death with dignity (euthanasia and assisted sucide) that really irks me. Why can't they get their big fat heads out of these intensely personal private issues?
Because you don't have the right to decide for your own body! It's owned by the right wing radicals.

In that case then I'll arm my kitty with teeth
No kidding.
I just get so irritated over people who have never been pregnant in a bad situation or never had a horrible disease and yet are so against abortion/death with dignity. Why do people feel entitled to tell others how to run their lives?
The world is just chock full of people who know what's right for you and me. I even have to think it carefully for myself. What's wrong with me, with the consideration and all?

It's called "society", and that's what "society" does for it's members. And I'll just bet that you like/approve of some of those rules/laws, yet here it seems that you're railing against all laws.

Society is a lot more than people telling me about medical decisions. The end of my body is my choice, always. Medical procedures, as a legal adult, are my choice, always.
I also don't think blindly plodding along with society is a smart or efficient way to live.
What? You haven't been exterminated yet? The system is obviously broken.

I'm personally torn with the issue, but I look at it this way.
As long as the state, or the human race does not have to suffer the consequences, we have no right to pass judgment on those that chose abortion or euthanasia.
