Canadian girl (4 year old) asks the Belgian King to oppose child euthanasia.

An article written by Dave Kaufman and published in the Toronto Sun reports that Jessica Saba (4) and her family are asking King Philippe of Belgium to not sign the child euthanasia law.

Ask King Philippe of Belgium to not sign the child euthanasia bill into law.

Dr Paul Saba is the leader of the Coalition of Physicians for Social Justice in Quebec. He makes the case against the child euthanasia law in simple, eloquent language that comes from his heart. The backdrop is that the forces pushing euthanasia are on the march in Canada, particularly Quebec. He wants us to understand that if child euthanasia is legalized in Belgium, that plague will make its way around the world like a pandemic epidemic.

As the Coalition of Physicians for Social Justice explains,
“Jessica was born in Montreal, Canada in May 2009 with a severe cardiac malformation: a completely blocked valve and underdeveloped ventricle. She would have survived for only a few hours or days without a series of cardiac interventions, which were performed at Montreal’s Children’s Hospital. At six days, her valve was unblocked and gradually her underdeveloped ventricle began to form. If Jessica had been born in a country where pediatric euthanasia is permitted, she might have been a candidate for euthanasia and her story would be very different than the one in the video.
“Millions of children are born each year with severe congenital malformations. Currently in Quebec, the government is attempting to pass its own euthanasia law, which is very similar to the law passed in Belgium about 10 years ago. The Quebec Human Rights Commission is recommending extension of euthanasia to children.”

The video is even more persuasive because of the heartfelt contributions of the entire family: Dr. Saba, his wife, Marissa, their daughter Jessica, and her two older siblings, Eliana and John-Anthony.
They remind you how hard Jessica fought from the beginning and what a cool sister she is.

  1. First of all, the situation of the 4 year old girl has nothing to do with euthanasia, nothing at all.
    It's about persons that are in an uncurrable situation, and live in hell every day, that are allowed to choose for themselves that they don't want to live any more. Who are you to decide for another person?
    You even use a case that wouldn't happen, so you make your point with real lies.

    You need to read the articles on this blog about Belgium euthanasia. Try this one for instance. http://alexschadenberg.blogspot.ca/2013/12/is-belgian-euthanasia-control-and.html
    The law is written to permit euthanasia not to limit it and the control system doesn't even try to control the law.
