I will never forget the vitriol dished out to those of us who tried to help keep Terri Schiavo alive.
She was not dying from a terminal disease. She merely required palliative care. Food, water, simple nursing for a completely disabled person, with a projected lifespan of over thirty years, before her state ordered execution.
She was forcibly starved and dehydrated, to death.
And yes, her “condition” differed greatly from your family member.
At the end, the huge number of people who claimed they personally wouldn't want to live that way, meant society was somehow justified in actively killing a person who was not in fact, dying.
OTOH, those same people will rail against halting futile medical measures, that merely prolong the death of terminally ill people.
It will be interesting to see how Americans react as the Federal government begins targeting useless groups of Americans for death through socialized medicine’s Federal denial of care. It will be announced with claims that their lives are not worth anything and that they cost their families and taxpayers too much.
I bet Americans go for it. This is how the Left in the US will murder it’s Stalin quota. They can target people by politically incorrect generation and by region for death.
As long as they have a good materialistic excuse, Americans will celebrate the executions.
