The Banalization of Evil in the Netherlands

There is a strange silence coming from Europe. What is happening in the Netherlands today? It’s a cry for help. A nation once respected has turned into a dangerous social experiment. As someone looking from the outside, it is impossible not to feel a chill. We aren’t talking about ordinary politics here, but about the banalization of death as state policy.

It all started with the Euthanasia Act of 2002. The discourse was one of “compassion” for adults with terminal illnesses and unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement. The problem is that once that door is opened, it never closes. What was a measure restricted to extreme medical cases has expanded in a terrifying way. Statistics show a sharp rise of 30% in cases between 2011 and 2013 alone, and the total number of annual cases has surged by 170% since 2011. Because of this, euthanasia in the Netherlands is no longer a last resort for serious cases and has become a common option for depression and psychological trauma. The State created a system where doctors have the power to decide who lives.

The situation got much worse when this logic was extended to young people. The Groningen Protocol, originally for infants, became a blank check. Vulnerable groups are being targeted at an alarming rate. International reports and recent analyses indicate that a significant portion of these cases involve women and individuals with autism, with some surveys citing figures around 15% to 20%, depending on the specific demographic and context analyzed. Instead of receiving the support they deserve, they are being systematically discarded by a system that labels their neurodivergence as an “unbearable” burden. This is not compassion, this is a purge.

The system operates under the supervision of regional committees, but the numbers are alarming. There are more than 9,000 assisted deaths per year, which represents 5% of all deaths in the country.

Technical analysis reveals a structural failure in the evaluation of “decision-making competence” in psychiatric patients. When patients struggle with depression or autism, it becomes impossible to tell if they are truly choosing to die or if the disease is just talking for them. By declaring that there is no hope, the doctor actually kills the patient’s chance at recovery. This creates a trap where the person feels there is no way out. This divides the medical profession and raises an ethical alert that the State ignores.

The decision-making process differs according to age. For adults, the law requires a voluntary and conscious request, evaluated by two doctors. As for infants, the Groningen Protocol places the decision in the hands of parents and doctors in cases of extreme pain. However, this distinction doesn’t calm the debate: while in adults we discuss autonomy, for infants the central debate is about the authority to end a life that never had the chance to begin.

Where are the doctors who swore to save lives? The majority of professionals working on the front lines disagree with this. They warn that traumatized people don’t have the full capacity to make such a definitive decision. But the government ignores them.

And it’s even worse: they use public money to promote documentaries that sell death as a dignified act. It’s brainwashing paid for with taxpayer money.

And there’s something even more disturbing: the connection between euthanasia and organ donation. Many doctors who actively defend the end of life are enthusiasts of donation right after the procedure. The conflict of interest is blatant. To them, human life seems to have a price tag.

The Dutch citizen is suffocated. The government is now pushing to rewrite the very definition of nature through legislation. They’re now debating a radical update to the Dutch Embryowet. It would allow creating embryos using genetic material from two men, effectively ditching the need for a mother. Look, this isn’t just about reproductive technology. It’s a massive, fundamental shift in how we define human life. By removing the necessity of a mother, they are treating the creation of a child as a simple laboratory test. This is a full-scale war on the natural family. For those who live in the US and value freedom, what we see in the Netherlands is an urgent warning. Armchair experts think they can replace biology with technology, deleting lives like computer code.

American conservatism defends life, and when we look at the Netherlands, we don’t see evolution, but a country that, by rejecting moral rules, has become a slave to a destructive nihilism. They say there is no way out anymore.

The despair is so deep that, over in the Netherlands, voices are begging for help, and that is why I am bringing this alert today. What we see in Europe is the tragic example of what happens when we abandon faith and family. They look to the rest of the world hoping that there is still someone willing to listen, and it is up to us to decide if we will be the resistance that refuses to accept this fate.

For us here, the lesson is clear. We cannot let this European model of destroying reality enter our home. Life has no price. Protecting our children against a government that thinks it owns other people’s bodies is our last line of defense. The government must serve the people, and not the people be an experiment.

If the Netherlands is the warning, it is time to stop just watching and start taking care of our own side. When a society treats human beings as disposable, the end is not just a possibility. It is a certainty. It is time to open our eyes before this disaster becomes our reality, the cost of silence is too high, freedom was won with blood and faith. We will not be the generation that hands it over on a silver platter to technocrats. The message is clear: it is up to us to decide if we will be the resistance.
