I’ve often wondered how far the “productive” citizen theme would be carried out: Will children ill at birth be allowed to thrive as best they can? Or, will places like St. Jude’s close because it will be illegal to try to cure diseases if the patient will likely never be “productive?”
Will there be a maximum age to live? This leads to NO retirement because the citizen would not be productive. I’ve been thinking more and more about the movie “LOGAN’s RUN” - adults with expiration dates.
The new movie “Knowing” with nicholas cage is a thought provoker. Gives a total new thought about global warming- and it isn’t “W’s” fault!
I worry about that as well. Was born 12 weeks early, 2 lb 14 ounces. I’m healthy and productive, but the prognosis 30 years ago was far grimmer, given the state of neonatal care then.
I understand not seeking drastic action, as in those children that would not live without extensive intervention and who will never truly live. There are times that parents need to let go.
However, I have often had to inform individuals that if their strict criteria were in place, I would not be here.
