New Meaning For The Word Zombie

A group of Belgian doctors are harvesting "high quality" organs from patients who have been euthanized. Are we surprised? The only thought that crosses my mind is, who will be next? Remember euthanasia is legal in Belgian.

The Belgian doctors are not keeping their efforts at providing high quality organs a secret. In fact, the news hit the press, when they openly described their Soilent Green efforts at a medical conference in December 2010. In fact, in a Power Point presentation, several doctors from the University Hospitals of Antwerp, Leuven And Liege, showed that about 20% of the people who died through official euthanasia in 2008, were suffering from neuromuscular disorders.

Neuromuscular disorders ... Hmmmmmm. Brain injury from auto accidents? Strokes ... due to age or life-style? Neuromuscular disease like MS? These diseases usually happen to younger people. Hmmmmm. Are these organs of "high quality" because of the age of the donor? Does the euthanized donor know he's a donor?

So Belgian doctors have created a mind-set, that disabled people's lives are more valuable dead than alive. Gives a whole new meaning to the word Zombie.
