Spain’s Euthanasia Expansion: A Five-Year Desecration of Human Life

EWTN News portal reports on the five-year anniversary of Spain’s euthanasia law, citing official data that 1,668 people have been killed through state-sanctioned lethal injections since 2021, with numbers rising annually. The article presents findings from the Professionals for Ethics Association, which denounces the “slippery slope” of expanding grounds for euthanasia, the erosion of safeguards, and the promotion of killing as an “altruistic choice” linked to organ donation. The report highlights the abandonment of palliative care, the corruption of medical ethics, and the social pressure on vulnerable individuals to end their lives. Recommendations include nationwide palliative care coverage, support for vulnerable populations, rigorous monitoring of euthanasia procedures, preservation of medical ethics, and ultimately the repeal of the euthanasia law. This article exposes the logical terminus of a society that has rejected the sovereignty of Christ the King: the systematic elimination of the vulnerable under the guise of “compassion” and “rights.”
