28-Year-Old Dutch Woman to Legally End Her Life in May.

A Dutch woman has decided to legally end her life citing her struggles with crippling depression and autism, according to a report. Zoraya ter Beek, a 28-year-old physically healthy, who lives in a small village in the Netherlands near the German border, is slated to be euthanised in May, according to the New York Post (NYP).

The Dutch woman said she decided to be euthanised after her doctors told her nothing more could be done to improve her condition.

Didn’t we use to try to prevent people who were depressed from committing suicide?

The World has turned into a Monty Python skit.

    its fair to say it won’t be within 10 years.

    We have no way of knowing that.

    Why? Because socialism is still wildly unpopular.

    Yeah, now.

    “During a revolution, millions and tens of millions of people learn in a week more than they do in a year of ordinary, somnolent life. For at the time of a sharp turn in the life of an entire people it becomes particularly clear what aims the various classes of the people are pursuing, what strength they possess, and what methods they use.” https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/sep/06.htm

    People can change their minds rather quickly.

    In the American revolution, 1/3 of the people wanted it, 1/3 were against it and 1/3 didn’t care either way. At least that’s what I remember reading in Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. You don’t need 100% (or the majority) of the people to be on our side at the start of the revolution.
