I wonder how many of the pro-murder visitors are familiar with Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (I rather doubt any of them would actually read the book, but there are several movies and one is even a cartoon) and if they are familiar with it whether they understand that the French want to torture and kill Quasimodo because he is disabled?
I'd say it's a socialist impulse more than a French one. (Not that there is any great difference between "socialism" and "France" :-) .) The economics of socialism favors killing off the weaker or less productive members of the collective. That is, you get a pay raise if you kill off those who contribute less than average to the common pot. The best pay raise is to be had by killing the sick or disabled who have high medical costs but contribute no wages. The right-to-die people can claim they're acting on principle until they turn purple, but it's a simple pocketbook issue -- so long as you do not believe in human rights.
The RTD folks fancy themselves progressive, but are some of the most luddite, reactionary thinkers alive. In the world of nanotechnology and computerized medical research, radical new treatments and corrections and cures are pouring into being. This should be a time of unprecedented hope for sick and disabled people.
But to the bioethickers, the only thing to do is kill off the sick and disabled. They are too busy with their death-tripping to see that a lot of patients are not hopeless any more. They are the voices of negativism from failed past. They are cold, bleak history and don't know it.
