Amnesty International is shocked that the governing socialists in Spain have put forward legislation to grant great apes 'human rights'. The same government which stripped from unborn human children the right to life and permits destructive research on human embryos, has put forward legislation to grant great apes the rights the rights to life, freedom and to not being tortured, according to a report by Deutsche Presse-Agentur.
The legislation would prohibit the 'enslaving' of gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans and bonobos.

Another matter of life and death caught my attention early this week and I figured that after reading something about one's idea of granting human rights to... er, apes, the notion of offering a place (called "clinic") for the purpose of providing people with a venue to kill themselves, would serve as a wake-up call. We're helping people take their own lives and calling it a "service." Then we put animals on the same level as that of human beings and assert that they (the former) are entitled to "human" rights as well. (Isn't it about time someone founded a PETH -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Humans -- to ensure that humans, both born and preborn, are granted the human right to LIFE?)
Ludwig Minelli, founder of Dignitas, an assisted suicide “clinic” in Zurich has announced that he is planning on opening a chain of suicide facilities in Switzerland. So popular has his death service become that at least 42 Britons have gone there to commit suicide.
Under British law, aiding a person’s suicide is a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison, but there is no way officials can stop anyone from going to Switzerland where laws allow it.
Minelli told Sunday Times Magazine this weekend, “We never say no.”
