Holland's Mobile Euthanasia - Doctors Won't Make House Calls But Levenseinde Will

Mobile euthanasia units in Holland will travel around the country to help people end their lives when their own doctors subscribe to that old-fashioned Hippocratic Oath and refuse to accept 21st century postmodern values.

Levenseinde, "Life End", is the biggest Dutch advancement in helping kill people since turning Anne Frank over to the Nazis. They legalized euthanasia in 2002 as one of their post-World War II liberal values but some doctors violate the law and refuse to kill people, instead persisting in the archaic notion that doctors should try and save lives.

What about the euthanizers?  Their psychological health is important, too. They will only be allowed to kill one person per week.  We don't want anyone getting weird.
