ObamaCare architect Ezekiel Emanuel has anounced the ‘optimal age of death’ - you won’t like it
Canada Free Press ^ | September 19, 2014 | Robert Laurie

Democrats seem to love death.  Whether they’re yammering about abortion or “end of life” planning, they just can’t get enough of talking up the myriad ways people can exit life’s stage.  They always claim this is simply a discussion about personal responsibility and individual choice but, since they despise those ideals in virtually every other matter, it’s a hard argument to buy.

Enter Ezekiel Emanuel. 

Emanuel was one of the chief architects of ObamaCare and is, of course, the brother of Rahm.  Over at The Atlantic, he’s penned an article about his own death and he’s made a shocking announcement about the perfect age at which he hopes to die. While he very specifically rules out euthanasia, Emanuel says he hopes his ticker shuts down at the not-particularly-old age of 75.

The reason? 75 is, apparently, the perfect age for a human to buy the farm. According to Emanuel, people who live longer than that risk struggling through a less-than-perfect existence.

Doubtless, death is a loss. It deprives us of experiences and milestones, of time spent with our spouse and children. In short, it deprives us of all the things we value.

But here is a simple truth that many of us seem to resist: living too long is also a loss. It renders many of us, if not disabled, then faltering and declining, a state that may not be worse than death but is nonetheless deprived. It robs us of our creativity and ability to contribute to work, society, the world. It transforms how people experience us, relate to us, and, most important, remember us. We are no longer remembered as vibrant and engaged but as feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic.

No Methuselah in your bible?


Or Adam...

I’m talking about the post flood world. Once the “windows of heaven” were open, solar radiation was left to do its work on us.

Plenty of people today are still very active well into their 90s and many people can live to 100 or more as long as they take care of themselves and have the right genes (this is unfortunate, but true and ethnicity has a lot to do with it).

As best anyone can tell, 114 or 115 seems to be the age cap. The world's oldest people simply don't make it past this age.

I’ll kick in a few bucks to see that Ezekiel Emmanuel is set adrift on an ice floe whenever he’s ready.

As for everybody else, it’s none of his business and nobody’s business but the person in question. To believe otherwise is to become a ghoul straight out of science fiction.

“Hey, all four of my wifes and my parents are still alive, all in their mid-80’s.”


Most unusual-——lucky you. My father died at 32.

You've been married four times to women your parents' age? How'd that work out?

So you married four women who were old enough to be your mother?

Really? How old was Moses at the time of his death?
"Moses was 120 years old when he died...."

He said after the flood. Methuselah was before the flood.

He’s 57.

I presume that in 18 years we can all expect him to do the right thing and go out and blow his brains out?

Or...he could be dyslexic and do everybody a favor, and do it now.

One day they probably will, if Obamacare doesn’t kill us all first.

He and his fellow travelers keep pushing this crap, we will see what happens.

It won't be serene or dignified for them, for sure. Nothing like the "light classical music" scene at the end of Soylent Green.

anywhere in the ~70 range, and I say that as a 60 year old. But I get my belief from the bible

Exactly, and that was my point!

Moshe (Moses) led our people out of the desert; Obama's henchmen are leading us all off a cliff.
