Anti-Euthanasia Activists Launch European Coalition in ‘Historic’ Meeting in Rome
ROME, February 19, 2013
(LifeSiteNews.com) – A group of nearly 20 leading anti-euthanasia activists representing
11 countries gathered today in Rome to launch a pan-European coalition.
Their goal? To promote “care, not
killing,” said Alex Schadenberg, the Chairman of Euthanasia Prevention
Coalition International, the organizer of the meeting, who described the event
as “historic.”
A survey of the situation in Europe
suggests that the creation of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC) Europe
could not come a minute too soon.
Euthanasia is already deeply
entrenched and expanding in several European countries, and with aging
populations across the continent, more and more are showing signs of being
swayed by the rhetoric of the euthanasia movement. Currently pressure campaigns
to legalize the practice are ongoing in the UK and France.
During the wide-ranging discussions
at today's meeting, one point repeatedly cropped up: the need to work together
and to unite activists from a wide variety of ideological and political
backgrounds.
