If we make killing the incapacitated somehow acceptable, investors in a new wave of "compassionate euthanasia parlors" will make an awful lot of money."
"That sounds even more profitable than a Planned Barrenhood franchise!"
You know, I've been trying to write novels for the past couple years. One of them is set in the not-so-distant future.
Suffice it to say, that when Baby Boomers start to put a lot of pressure on the health care system & insurance companies, etc., there will be a LOT of pressure for them to "die with dignity."
Not that I want to give away an "important detail" of my novel and risk never making any money on these stacks of paper sitting on my desk ;), I predict public service announcements on t.v. urging elderly people to "do the right thing."
This case makes me think that maybe I'm not so far off.
Not far off at all.
In order to make the abortion industry work, those who stood to make money from it first had to make it somehow noble -- "A Woman's Right To Choose!" -- and remove the guilt from it.
Methinks they're following a similar public relations path with the euthanasia industry.
