Wesley J Smith has a short comment on an article in his Secondhand Smoke blog at First Things which was written after reading this one "The Economic Argument for Euthanasia," by Charlie Sprague.
Seems to me that this is already being done for those who are disabled (by court order in the case of Terri Schindler Schiavo), but people use other 'words' to justify it, like 'quality of life', death with dignity', 'wouldn't want to live this way'.....
Right now, however, they just stop feeding and hydrating the person. Takes a week or two, but... OR they put them into a hospice where Terminal Sedation is couched as 'keeping the person comfortable', when in reality, they are overdosing with Morphine until the person dies.
There will come a day when they 'put down' people more directly and 'humanely'....
Sorry, I have seen it coming for a long time, and it saddens and angers me.
God bless!
