The Caldron

There is something brewing in the world of Anesthesiologists that should interest us all. The controversy is over whether these physicians, trained in pain relief, should be assigned the duty of administrating the death penalty potion on behalf of the State. This would set a new precedent. It would be shifting the arm of the law to the glove of those pledged to heal. On the surface, this seems like an innocuous idea. But, beyond the compassionate intent, as is often the case, is a dark residual foam.
Doctors were the first to fall under the spell of Hitler’s regime. The Holocaust museums relate the history of incremental advances toward the eugenics movement. It began with a nod from scientific experimenters who agreed to abort the babies of “unfit” parents and to use the sick, the retarded and handicapped as “lab rats.” The cause of “bettering mankind” and ridding society of those “less able” was originally sold to the mentally advanced elite: physicians. This work, on behalf of all humankind, appealed to their sense of superiority and desire to be meaningful. So, the hands trained to heal became weapons of mass destruction.
Swirling around the heated discussion of dosing capital punishment is a whiff of something else. It is the stench of unborn fetuses stacked up. They remind the medical profession that they have already succumbed to the enchantment of feeling good about performing activities that harm, for the sake of our culture’s assessment of beneficial practice.
As our federal government takes over control of health “care”, we need to remember the past. Hitler assumed more and more power, and those who refused the superior-race theme were removed from their posts or worse. Christians who objected sat inside their churches, able to view the smoke stacks that told the horrible story of disposable flesh. They were afraid to resist.
The mix in the caldron is fuming; inside roils a concoction of poison.
From Jeremiah 2:19:
"Consider then and realize how evil and bitter it is for you when you forsake the Lord your God and have no awe of me, declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty."
