- “A culture’s collective mindset about the meaning and importance of human life becomes distorted when euthanasia is legal. Soon, ending suffering becomes more important than protecting the lives of the vulnerable, making it increasingly difficult to restrict euthanasia and assisted suicide to extreme cases—those for which advocates falsely promise it is to be reserved.”

- As stated above, “A culture’s collective mindset about the meaning and importance of human life becomes distorted when euthanasia is legal....” This is like the scene in The Tin Drum where a German character goes on for pages in moral wrangling over some minor incident, completely ignoring the Holocaust. Distorted, warped.
