Christians stand between euthanasia activists and the vulnerable

(and other stories)

A few other stories for you this week.

Dame Esther Rantzen had excoriated parliamentarians in the UK who oppose assisted suicide, citing “undeclared religious views”: “In the UK, Christians stand between euthanasia activists and the vulnerable.” Excerpt:

Dame Esther Rantzen is a wealthy and privileged person, who believes that her right to receive state-approved and medically-administered suicide trumps the right of the vulnerable—who have been speaking very loudly on this issue—to safety and security. But more revealing is Rantzen’s assertion that someone’s religious beliefs are somehow disqualifying.

In The European Conservative: “85 Years After the Flames: Remembering the Rotterdam Blitz.” An excerpt:

Eighty-five years ago, at 1:20 p.m. on May 14th, 1940, the Luftwaffe unleashed 97 tons of bombs over the city center of Rotterdam. Fierce fires broke out, merging into an inferno that lifted the roofs off houses, exploded windows, and caused cherry trees to bud, blossom, and blacken in minutes. My paternal grandmother, then 13, was huddled underground with her family as the ground heaved overhead; my maternal grandmother, aged 4, vividly recalled seeing the smoke of Rotterdam rising into the sky from miles away. She had been shopping in the city with her mother the day before.
