Unfortunately that's what it's going to come down to:
First the brain-damaged, diagnosed with PVS, never mind that half the time it's misdiagnosed.
Then those with any "mental problems" and considering that Dean called the Republicans brain dead, we will all qualify soon.
And of course nobody who is disabled in any way, physically or mentally should really "want to live like that", so they are doing them all a great big favor, by putting everyone out of their misery by forcing them to die a "natural death", by making them die of thirst and food.
Then people who smoke or are overweight, shouldn't want to live like that either... great candidates for "help".
Then will have nothing but perfect human specimens.
Wait, isn't this what Hitler was after? I guess he was just a little ahead of his time.
The insurance companies will start demanding DNA testing to look for genetic disease indicators. Then they will run the probablility tables. If alcoholism is found, then you will be denied insurance if you have a drink. etc etc etc. This is just the beginning.
I really do want to understand this. Let's see:
" If I'm brain dead, the judge will have me killed.
If the judge is brain dead, the judge will have me killed.
If I kill the judge, I can find another to have me spared."
Is this a great country or what?
