THIS POST HAS BEEN INCLUDED WITH SOME RESERVATION AS IT IS UNCERTAIN THAT IT COMES FROM A UNITARIAN SOURCE. HOWEVER, THIS IS A DEBATE WHERE ALL ARE ENTITLED TO THEIR VIEW.
He died of pneumonia in a matter of days after refusing food. Why is that a slow and lingering death? There are plenty of old people who die from pneumonia contracted when in a weakened state. This is normal for many elderly patients. It is normal to take several days to die. He was an atheist of the evangelical God hating kind, and so were his family. His euthanasia campaign was directed against what he incorrectly saw as a religiously based legal code making euthanasia illegal. But the law against euthanasia is secular.
