I believe that it is society's business to keep a vigilant watch. Society dropped the ball with abortion. Now there is the internet and people are more informed.
You may not like the parallels but a lot of the German populace had NO idea what was happening at such places as Auschwitz. People do need to be vigilant.
I honestly cannot draw a parallel between state-sanctioned and state-led death and personal family decisions. To me they are very different.
