IIRC, it is Holdren who has spoken of recycling prostheses and liquifying dead people into some kind of green stuff to shoot into space or some weird thing (to save space). He also wants depopulation.

The herd (in the US) is being culled. The rest of the world, I dunno.

I'm not against seniors buying any kind of medical care they please, with their own money.

It's when they expect our kids to pay for it that I draw the line.

LOL My dad is hording titanium in the form of 9 stints and a knee. I told him we won't bury him in a coffin. We're going to keep him in a safe deposit box.

The prescience of CS Lewis should be clear to any who might listen. He had made the case earlier that there are those who seek to subvert science to achieve power over other men much as those who sought to use magic for the same reason. And then he wrote this in chapter 3, ¶22, of The Abolition of Man:

There is something which unites magic and applied science while separating both from the wisdom of earlier ages. For the wise men of old the cardinal problem had been how to conform the soul to reality, and the solution had been knowledge, self-discipline, and virtue. For magic and applied science alike the problem is how to subdue reality to the wishes of men: the solution is a technique; and both, in the practice of this technique, are ready to do things hitherto regarded as disgusting and impious.

If there exist any person in the self-assessed elite corps who would truthfully describe themselves as knowledgeable, self-disciplined, and virtuous, what we must fear most is that they would sound very much like John Holdren.
