Fine. Then if you're brain damaged and you couldn't swallow food and needed a feeding tube, I could not, in good conscience, allow you live and take up valuable space.
You're never going to get better, your desire to live is causing untold grief amongst your family, your care is forcing your spouse to go through your savings and she is considering selling the house to keep your sorry a$$ alive, your insurance company won't pay until you're dead ... No. I'm sorry, but I would consider that wrong to let you live.
So there.
Goodness, Robert, that statement could be translated into many different scenarios. What about people that are severely mentally retarded, but they are not living on any machines? They can eat and breathe on their own. However, they are still taking up "valuable space" and causing "untold grief" and costing lots of money. They cannot provide for themselves and will need care forever. Should we put them out of their misery too? What about Alzheimer's patients, schizophrenics, paraplegics, etc.? These people take up lots of space and cost a lot and cause much grief as well. Let's just get rid of them all, right Robert?
Those tens of thousands of severely retarded and otherwise handicapped people--you know the ones I mean, those who have never, since the day they were born, shown ANY awareness--living in state-run institutions are taking up a heck of a lot of space. It's clear that not one of them is ever going to improve. Furthermore, the billions we are spending on their care could be way better spent.
Have you filed a petition with Judge Greer yet to have them all starved to death, too? If not, why not? What are you waiting for?
