“ELSA-Ostroh” promotes euthanasia

Lvov, 30 October 2012

To Rector of the National University

of Ostroh Academy

Dear Sir,

we would like to inform You that the international association “ELSA”, especially its branch in Ostroh – ELSA Ostroh, and even such a renowned University as Ostroh Academy conducts a three-stage workshop “Euthanasia: for or against?” from 3 to 4 November 2012. Under the guise of human rights is hidden promotion of murders. We quote from the workshop topics: States of the contemporary world more and more give their consent to the legalization of voluntary death … Student community must not be indifferent to this problem … International experience allows us to understand that euthanasia is a fully justifiable and in many countries of the world even lawful means.

Euthanasia is legalization of murders. Unfortunately, this and other destructive programmes are subsidized by international structures and organizations, including “ELSA”, with a view of destroying the Ukrainian nation. A specific feature of this association is that it recruits primarily law students and young lawyers whom it trains as its ideologues within the framework of so-called international exchange studies. On this basis, it is planned to lay down “scholarly foundations” for the introduction of destructive programmes in Ukraine: training of contemporary janissaries.

Dear Sir, we appeal to You to stop cooperating with the organization ELSA and its affiliate in Ostroh (director Boris Shubin) and to prevent realization of the above mentioned workshop as well as of other similar to it. Do not let the Academy of Ostroh become the hotbed for the spread of destructive ideas that will lead to the destruction of the Ukrainian nation!
