Bending the British mind (1)

The Times reports:

The Voluntary Euthanasia Society, an advocacy group, will change its name to Dignity in Dying from January 23. Deborah Annetts, the director, said that the present name was outdated and did not reflect the group’s range of activities.

Mind-bender: dying
Truth: killing

Translation: As the push to legalise intentional killing intensifies, the language is being censored. The group lobbying for euthanasia is excising the word from its name because the word tells the truth that what is being proposed is intentional killing. Instead the word ‘dying’ is to be used which conceals the deliberate intention to kill; and the emotive word ‘dignity’ is thrown in for good measure to cloak this deceit in moral virtue. Sickening.
