I see this issue having its dynamics tied to the elderly who have retired in Florida. It is an evil paradigm which causes these elderly to pull the plug on their spouses as soon as they find their savings going to expensive medical care procedures. This says that there has been a failure to protect the elderly as the costs of life-saving medical procedures have gone through the roof and exceed what their Medicare is able to provide. They have been put between the rock and the hard spot whenever medical costs go beyond their Medicare coverage and threaten economic disaster. This is where the web of evil is spun.

One point the euthenasia-advocates will try to bring up is that without the 'final solution', the coming generational crisis will have no solution. Their point is not entirely without merit; unless something is done the country won't be able to afford to treat the elderly decently. This is going to be a real problem, and if a solution isn't found within 10-20 years things are going to get very ugly.

Oregon has found a "solution". They did a lotto for healthcare resources. Civilized state and all.

The abortion mill bears its own share of blame for the dwindling financial basis of Social Security, Medicare, and the like.

The coming Baby Boom Generation's dying years will have a huge economic impact and I was referring to this dilemma when I said, "there has been a failure to protect the elderly as the costs of live-saving medical procedures have gone through the roof and exceed what their Medicare is able to provide." How we prepare for the needs of our aging population will be where the web of evil is spun. What I anticipate is that there will be little preparation for these costs because the intention is to force the euthanasia option upon the unfortunate ones caught between the rock and the hard place. There will be no decency about it. There will be a death culture that wants the elderly to go quick so they will be no more trouble and out of the way. This thinking will then work it way to those who put a greater economic impact on the health care system: the physically and mentally disabled.
