Will this comic strip "off" their stroke patient? Comic Strip:

Well, I follow that strip. Grandpa is old. He's had a stroke. Old people often die from strokes. He may die in the strip. He may live, but with deficits. He may recover. That's pretty much how it goes with elderly stroke victims.
Perhaps you're reading too much into a comic strip. It's a good strip. It has always been a good strip. I've been reading it for years, as one of the best comic strips out there.
Reading political stuff into this probably isn't reasonable. Really.
I just lost my father-in-law. He had had a couple of strokes, but recovered partially from both of them. Still, he lost ground each time. Finally, his 86-year-old body was no longer capable of staying alive, so he died.
We didn't give up. His body did. Something similar may happen in this comic strip. It happens thousands of times a day. Elderly people who have strokes often die.
I don't think they'll go in that direction. Their previous episodes have demonstrated an appreciation for life, and respect for disabled people. I suppose that could be a false front, like we sometimes see demonstrated here. They pretend to care about disabled and/or dying people, so that when they advocate killing them, fools will be confused. It doesn't work on those of who know better. No matter how pretty they try to paint it, murder is wrong. They can try to separate themselves from the vulgar harpies by wrapping it up in good manners, but they're still selling the same evil. I don't think that's what For Better Or For Worse is trying to sell, but we'll see.
