Euthanasia, it is true, has not yet been legalised except in some American states, but notoriously it is being practised on an ever-increasing scale.

We routinely dehydrate the elderly to death in this country in institutional and even home settings. We just don't call it euthanasia.

>> With abortions and family planning ensuring a zero population growth rate, and euthanasia disposing of useless mouths among the debilitated old, besides mopping up intervening freaks, the pursuit of happiness should be assured of at any rate financial viability.

One does not lightly undertake to disagree with Malcolm Muggeridge, but I believe he is quite mistaken about the economics here. People by and large produce more than they use, creating a surplus and increasing prosperity for all. Growing populations equate -- correctly -- with an improving standard of living. (I do not add "free" populations because oppressed populations tend to wither rather than grow.)

The notion of disposing of "useless eaters" for financial gain is based on the socialist claptrap that there is only so much money/goods/wealth to go around. Those who have more, they believe, get it by stealing from those who have less. All this is complete nonsense, based on Marx's primitive "surplus labor theory of value" from the 1860s.

Perhaps in this instance Mr. Muggeridge remembered too well his childhood lessons growing up in a very prominent and active socialist household.
