What people are saying about this book:
Alex Schadenberg’s comprehensive analysis of studies from countries where euthanasia is legal reveals disturbing evidence of inaccurate and misleading conclusions. He uncovers proof that vulnerable people, including the elderly, the depressed and those with disabilities are very adversely affected when assisted suicide is legalised. His findings also raise significant concerns about the manipulation and abuse of the reporting process and the ‘slippery slope’ reality of state sanctioned intentional killing.
This book spells out the chilling consequences and I would recommend it as required reading for legislators and commentators who may be contemplating changing our laws.
Maggie Barry MP – Parliament of New Zealand
| If a law is to be valid, it must protect vulnerable people. Regrettably, euthanasia laws fail this basic test.
The idea that there are lives unworthy to be lived is dangerous. The ‘slippery slope’ is not imaginary. It exists – and despite the efforts of euthanasia sympathizers – it cannot be wished away.
The Hon Kevin Andrews MP Commonwealth Parliament of Australia (from the Foreword)

My friend was diagnosed with pancreas cancer in 2011. He had to turn down three independent euthanasia suggestions by his attending physicians. The suggestions were against our liberal euthanasia laws. It proves our societies are indeed on “a slippery slope” as argumented in this study; it’s high time to wake up, we may already have passed the point of no return. Schadenberg’s conclusive remarks therefore should be taken seriously.” Michael van der Mast, Cry for life – the Netherlands |

 “Using already existing studies, Schadenberg has uncovered the shocking truth about euthanasia in Belgium, the lives lost and the deep threat to others. His work demonstrates unequivocally that we must never follow this Belgian pathway to the easy killing of people whose lives are not valued by those who do the killing.”

 Alex Schadenberg has done the debate on euthanasia and assisted suicide a great service in this comprehensive work. His thorough-going analysis of the available studies concerning The Netherlands and Belgium demand a response from those who support euthanasia & assisted suicide. This work supports empirically the observation that no legislation can ever protect all citizens from the possibility of abuse. For legislators and commentators alike, this is a must read.
