The group has proposed training non-medical staff to administer a lethal injection to healthy people over the age of 70 who "consider their lives complete are shovel ready" and want to die.

Oops - you already got it! I’m having a problem - when I copy the Moral Abosolutes message thingie, it has part of it twice. I don’t think I’m doing it, it just seems to be happening.
Sorry I’m a techtard.

Sorry I don’t think people will be forced to kill themselves.
The involuntary euthanasia of minors?
No parental consent?

Sorry I dont think people will be forced to kill themselves. What you "think" isn't at all important, I talking about what has historically happened.

I’m not being harsh, I’m simply saying that your opinion is irrelevant on this subject. Involuntary euthanasia is going on every day all over the world and the fact that you don’t “think” it is doesn’t change anything.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could end involuntary “euthanasia” by just thinking it away?

Nope,,,not forced. What will happen will be more subtle, but just as sickening. You are 83 and need some help sometimes,,or maybe have a medical condition. Your doctor will helpfully inform you that you have suicide as an option. You will be made aware that by debate,,that people like you are greedy for soaking up scarce medical resources. Some will slowly start to notice resented by people who want their inheritance, or want to be relieved of the burden.
And then, almost imperceptably, the presumption will have changed. The elderly will then feel an invisible, but a very real pressure. They will think they should justify why they choose to live.

This person suffering from hereditary defects
costs the people 60,000 Reichmarks during his lifetime.
People, that is your money. Read New People.

Ever notice that propaganda poster always either shuts them up or gets them riled? So I wonder, is it a thread killer this time, or are they about to pile on?
