I guess Emanuel forgot about the lessons of Exodus:
“Honor thy father and thy mother as the LORD has commanded thee, that thine own days be long” (no matter how old they get),
“Thou shalt not murder” (by withholding medical care)
and “Thou shalt not covet” (old people’s wealth or property)
Sorta cuts short the amount of time the elderly have to divest themselves of assets to avoid estate taxes as well.
