German euthanasia clinics refusing unvaccinated customers

Authored by spectator.co.uk and submitted by civicode

Irony has been declared many times in this pandemic but now, from Covid-riddled Germany comes the final proof: you can't kill yourself now unless you've been vaccinated. As European countries battle to limit the spread of the virus, Verein Sterbehilfe – the German Euthanasia Association – has issued a new directive, declaring it will now only help those who have been vaccinated or recovered from the disease. In a statement, the association said:

“ Euthanasia and the preparatory examination of the voluntary responsibility of our members willing to die require human closeness. Human closeness, however, is a prerequisite and breeding ground for coronavirus transmission. As of today, the 2G rule applies in our association, supplemented by situation-related measures, such as quick tests before encounters in closed rooms.

'Close encounters in closed rooms' – what a fabulous German euphemism for assisted suicide. The term '2G' meanwhile refers to a system which only allows free movement for leisure activities for the geimpft oder genese— 'vaccinated or recovered.' God forbid that a person without the jab should try to end it all – talk about a vaccine passport to the afterlife...

There was a documentary short film (I think) a few years ago about end-of-life-assistance. The woman who had chosen to die was featured going about her final day, doing mundane things. The funniest part was right before her death.

The physician was swabbing the patient's hand with alcohol before the first injection. The patient said, "what? you worried about me getting an infection?" Everyone in the room chuckled after she said that.

Verein Sterbehilfe is not a 'euthanasia clinic'. They are an adcovacy group that establishes legislation for personal autonomy in death and helps its members in doing so.

That's why the world should take the Futurama route with suicide booths.
