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.

Of course, HE and his FAMILY and STAFF are EXEMPT.
As are all Moslems, as payment for their attack
against America on 911, and at other times.

I’ll be happy to enforce his rule on him...when he’s 75 I’ll hunt him down and shoot him in the head.

For liberals the optimal age of death is just before 18.

There is a reason for that: Genesis 6:3.

Really? How old was Moses at the time of his death?


I’m talking generally speaking. The “average” age of a generation, when brought up at all in the bible, is 70 years. There are plenty of individuals that live longer or die earlier. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my parents and my wif’s parents are ALL still alive in their 80’s.

Well, he thinks he is. Soon enough he will get to meet the real deal.

My father passed away at 38...on his birthday too :( I was 16 at the time. I have already surpassed him by 3 years. Mom is still alive and kicking at 63, as are my in-laws at 66 and 67 years. My grandma is set to turn 85 in December—the only of the great-grandparents left for my kids. I did have great-grandparents who lived to their 90s, so maybe there is hope in my future. LOL

So just when is he going to die?

Is there a lottery for the privilege of helping him clear out?

The sooner the better.

He was born in ‘57 making him 57! A 7 and a 5 twice! Close enough.

When it comes to my own life, i'll be the judge of that risk

Here come the death panels ... as we’d always predicted.

But first, Zeke Emmanuel wants us to consider voluntary euthanasia, at age 75.

As Obama appointee Donald Berwick said, “to save money you first and foremost have to say that forbidden word: ration.”

Well,if you wait until they’re much older, the Soylent Green gets too stringy.

I won’t even entertain the idea that there is an actuarial “optimum age to die”. The whole idea is, as another poster said, ghoulish.

And of course when Zeke says optimum age to die he means from the view of the Regime, as a money-saving measure.

That said, of course, the optimum time for anyone in ISIS is, well, today.

I do think genes have a lot to do with it.

Personally I think 100 years of age sounds about right.
