I had two grandparents die of Alzheimer’s Disease and for 3-5 years, they were literally out of their minds. The moral issue comes when the caregivers have to decide whether or not they are in pain, that is the true issue.
It would be very hard to euthanize a parent or spouse, just putting a dog to sleep is very trying, much less a person.
I hate to say it, but in the coming Orwellian times we are approaching with cameras, DNA tracking, retina tracking, massive databases with fingerprints, buying patterns, finacial and medical records, even microchips (please excuse my David Icke and Alex Jones digressions), euthanasia will be a fact of life in an overcrowded world with limited natural resources.
Euthanasia harms the living; same with abortion.
I know a doctor who killed her mother with morphine. The mother would have died of cancer anyway, but the daughter remains a tormented soul.
You have gulped from the Left's BS Koolaid.
Do you mean the overcrowded world that would fit in the state of Texas?
The Population Bomb (1968) is a book written by Paul R. Ehrlich. A best-selling work, it predicted disaster for humanity due to overpopulation and the "population explosion". The book predicted that "in the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death", that nothing can be done to avoid mass famine greater than any in the history, and radical action is needed to limit the overpopulation. History proved Ehrlich wrong, as the mass starvations predicted for the 1970s and 1980s never occurred.
I cringe when I hear people talk about an "overcrowded world". That is the perception of people who choose to live in crowded cities. I live in Idaho. Massive open space. Not crowded at all. I you really believe the world is overcrowded, you need to get out more.
‘I hate to say it, but in the coming Orwellian times .... euthanasia will be a fact of life in an overcrowded world with limited natural resources.”
Orwell has nothing to do with it. Its respect for life or not. Its can you be bothered to care for those less able to or not. We have plenty of resources to fly actors around the world but none to keep grandma alive? BS
But if your so anxious then please go first.
