And the "modern utilitarian view of life" is a direct outcome of putting health care under the aegis of government and taxes.
When the only way you can cut taxes going to a wasteful bureaucracy is by killing people or allowing them die, then people will be killed or allowed to die.
Yes, when we're all just cogs in "the system" instead of individuals in relationship with other individuals, it's very easy to declare whole groups "expendable."

They won't cut taxes. The System is about perpetuating and expanding itself; the purported "beneficiaries" are just the excuse. For example, do you see taxes/expenditures being cut in school districts with falling enrollment? Nope - they just want more revenue to keep the district's employees on the rolls.
One can only hope that she gets to experience dementia herself, (if she isn’t already.)

Secular humanism/Godless liberalism has destroyed Europe. The final chapter we see unfolding now is the vaccum being filled by Islam.

I can tell you that in this country, specifically in the Atlanta area, my experience has been the opposite extreme. Misguided families who don't know better and doctors sometimes either consciously or unconsciously exploiting those medicare payments. Elderly people being kept alive against their will is about 99% of the problem the way I see it. Frankly, it's unconscionable. Being force-fed with stomach tubes and essentially preserved while their bodies break down, they get bed sores, which is very costly, very painful and unnecessary. Admittedly I have no idea what's going on in England but there's a happy common sense median everywhere and it's called hospice!
What I do take issue with it the way the elderly have become marginalized. It used to be the elderly were revered and looked up to for wisdom. They were protected as they protected when they were young. Now, they're constantly bombarded with propaganda telling them they're useless and a burden on family and society. No wonder so many are willing to let go of life.
How horrible it must be to have a family member ponder between your life and your grandkid's education.
They will die in God’s time, not at Lady Warnock’s urgings.
Sounds like this lady needs prayers.
