As an aside to the euthanasia debate, let me present the horror as it exists today.
Institutional corridors full of aged, mostly mentally incapacitated women in wheelchairs, staring blankly at the painted brick wall opposite them, or sleeping. This is what exists today.
This is NOT to say that euthanasia does anything more than murder such women. Just that we desperately need something better than what we have, not to just argue whether a living death is better than a real death.
Isn’t there something better we can do?
Neither of those alternatives is acceptable. Both of them are so awful it would be worth it to run away while you still could, just so you won’t be trapped in that hideous either-or proposition. Either living death or euthanasia.
That is an intolerable choice.
The problem is selfishness in society that has allowed people to become indifferent to the fate of their elderly parents, grandparents and relatives.
