Wesley Smith: A Telling George Soros Moment (Wants Euthanasia Legalized Nationwide)

George Soros is a big fan of euthanasia and assisted suicide and wants to see it legalized everywhere. Toward this end, Soros has donated millions to groups promoting the cause--which I believe to be an ultimately abandoning policy that implicitly tells people with terminal illnesses and other serious conditions that their lives are not as valuable or worth protecting as those of other people.

The assertions made by Soros in this feature about his philanthropy around issued of death and dying, are, I think, quite telling about his ultimately disdainful perspective about people who are approaching the end of their lives:

"Death has replaced sex as the taboo subject of our times," said one of the world's richest men and leading philanthropists, George Soros, when he launched the Project Death in America fund at Columbia University's College of Physicians & Surgeons in 1994. It promotes euthanasia or assisted suicide, and has been succeeded by the Open Society Institute's International Palliative Care Initiative . Soros's mother committed suicide, as a member of the Hemlock Society. His father died a lingering death from cancer, and Soros was "disappointed" at the way the old man clung miserably to life.

Poor George. His mother had the good grace to get it over quickly so he wouldn't have to face the months of pain and grief that come when those we love enter into their final days. But his father wanted to live until the actual end of his life, and for that he did not measure up in his son's eyes. I wonder if Soros's father sensed his son's "disappointment," and if so, how that didn't drive him over the edge to wanting suicide?

Um George, you’re far older than I am. Our generation is just starting to move into power.

You’ll definitely be the first to go.

[oneamericanvoice]

Hey George! You willing to go first as a role model to your followers at MoveOn? Even though you have all of those gazillions, I’ll spring for the pillow, drugs, bullets, or whatever is your choice.

[armymarinemom]

Wow. Isn’t he a bit past his prime to be talking like this?

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Wonder if George Soros feels the same way about one of his receipients.....John Sidney McCain

[Ukiapah Heep]

He ought to lead by example.

[popdonnelly]

He didn’t do much for people of his ethnic Jewish background, either. The man is a moral vacumn.

as in “the child is father to the man?”

Soros is, at best, a space alien ~ not human at all. His opinions are not worth examining.

You don’t understand, it’s for everyone EXCEPT him.

Although this debate has been with us for a long time now, Soros is opening a new chapter, one in which advocates will push harder than anyone will ever expect.

The reason is that very soon the baby boomer generation is going to stop being productive, and start being a cost on society as their health care needs multiply. In order to save money, killing the patient must become a morally equivalent option to treating them. Which "treatment option" they recieve will be based on a cost/benefit analysis to society.

And then we can all be GODS in our own eyes.

Not to big of a leap from deciding when to abort the most innocent who has no input in the decision. See we are well on the path to being/playing GOd.
