Cool and trendy? OK; I suggest we start with the parents of Time’s editorial staff and reporters who worked on this story. How “cool and trendy” will it be when it’s their loved ones who are being harvested and allowed to die?
We have a proven solution to control and eliminate government death panels. It was called World War II.
Seems Margaret Sanger’s bloody legacy is unfolding. Some
say abortion is now a right and cannot be challenged by
law. When we allow people to kill from the womb to the Old Folks Home and both sides working towards the middle what
happens to the generation now entrusted to the Government school K-12 programs?
Cradle to grave ObamaCare apparently includes morning after pills and abortion on demand to avoid the cradle, abortion in infancy, pro-gay indoctrination from kindergarten on to discourage procreation, NannyState supervision of the size of soft drinks and popcorn to control midlife costs, and now an early trip to the grave - all to save government money. Now that it’s government money paying for everything, it’s the government’s decision whether you get treated or even get to live. “O brave new world, that has such people in’t.”
Well they have sucessfully convinced ‘us’ that abortion is fine for birth control and that we come form evil people and our heritage is not important so killing old folks should be easy.
How are they currently "free"? Someone's paying for them somewhere along the line.
The sad fact is we don’t have the money or resources to give everyone gold plated care. But we shouldn’t be killing them off just to save costs.
As the boomer bubble starts to age into their twilight years, you will see a big push to kill them off to save costs. And with the moral formation of the average person these days, they will start killing them off.
We’ve already got mobile euthanasia teams—it’s called the modern commercial hospice.
Here in NY, at present, if you have a DNR order only a hospital and doctor can accept it and declare life saving measures to be stopped, but who knows if this is always the case?
It’s a tough thing because my husband is a ff/Paramedic who has been in the middle of performing CPR on a patient when a family member will literally stick the DNR order in his face as he tries to work. Others on the scene attempt to explain the situation. It’s tough all around, because there are different out comes. In some cases, the person may never come to, lay in the hospital unconscious for a period of time and then pass away. Maybe a long period of time. Yes, that’s costly. But other times the person
has been revived and twice my husband has received mayoral life saving awards and the person he saved has been there to thank him in person. One had a DNR and said “Thank God you didn’t let me die!” So my husband always feels if you error, error on the side of life. He’d be so mad at me for posting this because he’s a pretty humble guy. But none of you know me so I don’t care!

The same liberal elite democrats who want to kill off the elderly are the same folks who want to tell everyone what to eat and what do drink so they CAN LIVE A LONG TIME.
Control freak dems are going to kill of us if they can, we might as well eat, drink and be merry... Oh, and give ‘em the finger while we’re at it...
“Thou shalt not kill.”
Don’t they know the Commandments?
What happened to obeying the Commansment, “Honor thy Father and thy Mother”?
