Is euthanasia the ‘unspoken solution to the problem of an aging population promised ‘free’ and unlimited health care?’
…Euthanasia activists and the media have been incredibly successful in glorifying euthanasia. Something that was until recently criminal has suddenly become accepted as a default moral position.
One advocate says, “If you can’t practise medicine because you can’t do an effective (euthanasia) referral, then you shouldn’t be in medicine.” Another believes it’s a doctor’s duty to do whatever is legal and that the practitioner’s independent thoughts about what is best for the patient have no place in health care.
Can you think of any societies in our recent history where this sort of thinking went awry?
