For
the second time in as many years, we have seen Great Britain embrace
one of the ideologies of Nazi Germany. That is, they now believe, as
the Nazi's believed, that the execution of some members of the
weakest and most vulnerable in society, is what is best for the
overall welfare of the state.
The
individual, and his or her life is expendable, and they must be
eliminated to prevent a drain on the resources of the British
National Health Service. The same excuse was used for programs the
Nazi's implemented to eliminate the mentally and physically
handicapped.
The
only difference is, that the Nazi's hid their murders of the
helpless, while their counterparts in Britain carry out their heinous
crimes in the open for all the world to see.
In
both cases, the cold blooded murder of the innocent is neither
acceptable nor civilized.
It
wasn't acceptable for Nazi Germany of the 1940's, and it is most
definitely not acceptable for the United Kingdom of the 21st century.
Charlie
Gard deserved better, and so does Alfie Evans.
