Dutch launch mobile euthanasia teams

See, here’s the thing: I’m all in favor of euthanasia. The idea of forcing someone who is in agony to stay alive simply because we *can* is repugnant to me. I would no more condemn someone who is dying of Horrible Brain Fire Syndrome and decides to take themselves out than I would condemn one of the WTC jumpers who chose to go *splat* rather than burn up like a charcoal briquet.

But somehow it seems to me that there is no way on Odin’s green Midgard that a “mobile euthanasia team” is going to slip by without making a whole bunch of people just go *ape.*
