You make a good point about the "saving life-years" philosophy, which justifies the restriction of care to the old because "they've lived their lives."

But they don't even really believe in what you might call a preferential option for the child, since they justify abortion, which directly intends that the youngest members of the human family will die by the millions, quickly and badly.

So even the young "with their whole lives ahead of them" will get no treatment at all except incineration; or transport in the biohazard bag to the solid waste landfill.

These creeps have all sorts of other justifications for killing the very young (e.g., babies in neonatal intensive care wards, babies and young children with genetic diseases), rationing cancer prevention (e.g., mamograms), and banning use of costly life-extending cancer medications for cancer patients.

As for an extreme example of why the “life years” concept is bogus, consider the life of the newly departed Serb Patriarch Pavle (Memory Eternal!)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriarch_Pavle_of_Serbia

Pat. Pavle was elevated to the Patriarchate at age 75, and served until his death at age 95. The most “useful” years of his life (as judged in hunan terms) were from age 75 to age 95!!!! Many people (myself included) consider him a saint.

There are many other examples of Orthodox saints whose most significant life events happened in extreme old age, and many others (including St. Anthony who is celebrated today) who simply lived to extreme old age, serving as teachers and examples to many.

NO human life is of “no value”, to be thrown away to serve some selfish purpose (as with many abortions) or—even worse—to serve some horrid social agenda!!!!

No, they're sold for parts to research facilities.

NO sarcasm.
