We hear speak of this “youth in Asia”. What about the old people in Asia? Don’t they deserve a little respect and even some degree of adulation?

Just because some government wants to welch on paying out old-age pensions, does not justify prematurely destroying the institutional memory that older people have, a sort of check on history that would otherwise fade much too rapidly.

There are those that think abortion is a good thing, controlling population growth and “women’s right to determine her own body’s rights to nullify her baby’s birth rights or right to live.
The step to euthanasia is a short one. It is not surprising to read of this Yale Professor’s idea.

Another reason to abolish the Ivy League??
Suicide is a sin and a “felony on oneself!
Latin: “Felo de se.”

Let’s not go there.

I don't even support mass suicide by Yale professors.
But perhaps I should re-think that particular postion...

[GingisK]

That would actually give me license to “work my list”.

One of the few times comparison to Nazi philosophy completely fits.

After a million dollars spent on education, this guy is still an idiot.

Maybe this psycho “professor” should go first!

[lee martell]

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Guaranteed the DemoMarxists pick that up and start pushing it here. I can hear AOC now.

He’s full of it with his backtracking. He said it. He meant it.

How about he leads by example?

What is “Sandman” in Japanese?

"His words were clear. He meant the state should kill old people."

Unless you are a tenured professor of course because then you are valuable to the state.

...euthanasia could be made compulsory.

Could add some excitement to my declining years, as long as I get to shoot back.

Post of the day. Kudos.

Logan’s Run anyone?

They like to terminate babies - so their work continued

I was telling someone about this a couple of days ago

[NFHale]

Dear “professor”:

Start with yourself. Lead by example.

What an asshole.
