I am reminded of an old Charlton Heston movie, “Soylent Green”...
Euthanasia is a very old idea, but never more popular than recent years. Getting rid of the “useless eaters” is very appealing to some. It is, also, no surprise that in this day and age of 1.5 million abortions per year, that the idea that human life is sacred is considered “quaint”, at best.
I have seen euthanasia up close. The withholding of “extraordinary means” is absolutely appropriate. However, dying of dehydration is not pretty, and if anyone ever sees it, they will wonder (quietly and to themselves, of course), what the difference is between that and the torture and murder at the hands of an anonymous serial killer. Overdosing them on narcotics, as opposed to pain management? That’s not euthanasia- that’s murder by asphyxiation and that isn’t a pretty thing to watch, either. And the administrator is now part of an unnatural death.
Think that’s harsh? Then you ain’t seen it. And at what point do they expand the choices for expansion of such a program? When do they choose to leave loved ones out of the decision? When will it be YOUR turn? When you are too old to be productive?
Never forget- the left (the ones totally immured in this, at least, since Sanger) will apply to YOU what they will not apply to themselves.
This is just beynd sick. I don’t so much blame the people who want to end it all- they want to leave their families and loved ones a decent estate- but the people who produce add broadcast this stuff are depraved.
