After World War II, the assisted-suicide movement went underground. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, it was making a comeback, prompting Malcolm Muggeridge to say: “For the Guinness Book of Records, you can submit this: that it takes about thirty years in our humane society to transform a war crime into an act of compassion.” Thus did the Euthanasia Education Council change its name to Concern for Dying, Inc.; and the Euthanasia Society of America became the Society for the Right to Die, Inc. Other organizations appeared, including Choice in Dying. It’s quite disturbing that nations bordering Germany that witnessed Hitler’s gruesome policies – Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg – have legalized euthanasia and have enshrined it as a fundamental human right.
