Notice the fascistic nature of the chart. The probability of intervention starts very low for young children (who have no immediate value to the State), and peaks at the age of 20 or so (the age where the State has invested a lot in the young person in the form of education). The graph has a heavy downturn at 55, the age where a person's medical costs may start exceeding the tax revenue they generate, and collapses at the point where the person is likely retired and generating negative tax revenue.

It's all about how valuable the person is to the State.

It's all about how valuable the person is to the State.

That's correct. It's a diabolical attack on human dignity. The reduction of man to chattel. Unquestionably. And if it ever gets steam, it will be every bit as evil as the Third Reich (perhaps more so, because it has motivating it a utilitarian logic which is even more of an affront to the goodness of sound reason than was Hitler's insanity -- it's reason against reason). Which is why it must be stopped.
