Just a brief alert on this one, for anyone interested. Last week, I participated in a taping of a discussion of euthanasia with Dr. Bert Keizer on the show “The State We’re In” on the English version of Radio Netherlands.
It was a polite discussion, and we covered a lot of territory. Among other things, it turns out that Dr. Keizer, who performs euthanasia on patients in the Netherlands, finds it hard to defend infanticide. He also doesn’t deny that a lot of doctors have some pretty bad attitudes about what living life with a disability will mean in terms of quality.
The show is online and you can listen to it here (mp3 format). –Stephen Drake
