And for those who continue to resist, how about loading them into boxcars and take them to camps where they can be reeducated or where a final solution to their problem can be reached. After all, early deaths reduce long-term health care costs.
What did MyGreatGrandfathers,Grandfathers,Father,Uncles,and I fight for? We all spilled blood and gave ours to spread liberty throughout the world only to lose it here to unelected socialist master planners
They're already doing that - the committees of bioethicists and doctorsevaluate people who have little hope of recovery and then release them.

Hospitals can end life support
Decision hinges on patient's ability to pay, and the prognosis of the doctor.

Dr. David Pate's comments came as the family of Spiro Nikolouzos fights to keep St. Luke's from turning off the ventilator and artificial feedings keeping the 68-year-old grandfather alive.

In another Houston case, one with ironic echoes of Terri Schiavo, the wife of Spiro Nikolouzos wants tube-feeding for her persistently unconscious husband, based on his previously stated desire to live.
But unlike Schiavo's, Nikolouzos's personal wishes are not deemed determinative: A hospital ethics committee voted to refuse to continue his tube-supplied food and water and ventilator support. He would have died, but a San Antonio hospital unexpectedly agreed to provide the care. Then its ethics committee also decided to cut off care, but Nikolouzos was transferred to a nursing home.
For the moment, Nikolouzos is being allowed to stay alive. But the final decision about the matter isn't his wife's: Under futilitarian Texas law, it belongs to committees of bioethicists and doctors.
