The vanguard of the baby boom generation has just reached their early sixties. Over the course of the next twenty years, as the majority of that cohort reaches genuine "old age" with all its infirmities, they will demand and get legalized, physician assisted suicide . . . and will exerise their right to an "early check-out."

Baby boomers have driven every other social and cultural trend of the last fifties years. This will be no exception.

I fear that you are quite possibly correct. It should also be noted that there is one huge reason for the financial issues that the nation is facing as the Baby Boomers age and that is ABORTION.

When the most selfish generation in the history of mankind made the decision to kill 50 MILLION children, they created a serious crisis for Ponzi schemes like Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid.

Experience shows that the people demanding legalized euthanasia aren’t the same people it’s used on.

From what I’ve seen, there’s a lot of talk out of some who are younger than the boomers to lower the level of medical care for elderly boomers to help us along our way.
