A senior Church of Scotland minister has questioned the wisdom of spending large amounts of money keeping older people alive.

It should also be noted that estimates range as high as a half a million dollars to have a kid and support them through college, perhaps we should just kill them and save money. What about the multi-millionaires who marry the trophy wives and then divorce them when their looks start catching up with their age, why not just kill them and save the settlement money?

I guess that's the "final solution" -- whenever someone is costing more than they are benefitting you, you should just be permitted to kill them.

He must be studying America’s original death monger, “Duty to Die”
Dick Lamm, former Governor of Colorado.

From the NY Times: “Elderly people who are terminally ill have a ‘’duty to die and get out of the way’’ instead of trying to prolong their lives by artificial means, Gov. Richard D. Lamm of Colorado said Tuesday.

People who die without having life artificially extended are similar to ‘’leaves falling off a tree and forming humus for the other plants to grow up,’’ the Governor told a meeting of the Colorado Health Lawyers Association at St. Joseph’s Hospital.

‘’You’ve got a duty to die and get out of the way,’’ said the 48-year-old Governor. ‘’Let the other society, our kids, build a reasonable life.’’
