“ | It is for these practical reasons, as well as moral ones, that Euthanasians support only voluntary forms of population reduction, including suicide, free abortion, and sodomy, which they define as any sexual act not intended for procreation. They are also fiercely vegetarian, and support cannibalism for those who insist on eating flesh. | „ |

The Church of Euthanasia is an American cult founded by Chris Korda. It essentially believes that humanity is a plague upon the Earth and the population should be reduced. Although so-called "Euthanasians" only believe in "voluntary" means of population reduction, it has been accused of causing deaths by giving instructions on how to commit suicide.
Foundation edit
The Euthanasia Church was founded in 1992 by Chris Korda and Robert Kimberk, through his website that came out in 1995.
Background and Villainy edit
The Church was supposedly founded after "Reverend" Chris Korda encountered an alien intelligence known as The Being that told her that the planet's ecosystem was failing and that to save the planet, the population needed to be reduced.[1] The Church seeks to promote this aim peacefully through the Four Pillars: abortion, suicide, sodomy (defined as all sex acts that do not result in procreation) and cannibalism of dead bodies for anyone not a vegetarian. Its founding principle is "Thou Shalt not Procreate".[2]
Following the September 11 attacks, the Church posted a four-minute video entitled I Like to Watch combining the destruction of the World Trade Centre with hardcore porn and video footage of a man masturbating.[3] It has also expressed support for eco-terrorist Ted Kaczynski[4] and has given instructions on how to commit suicide (although this was removed in 2003 after legal actions were threatened in Missouri because of an actual suicide).[5]
