Fine for him if that's what he wants. But in typical liberal fashion he wants to impose it on others.

Heh, I would encourage him and his ilk to aim quite a bit lower.

I don’t think he should wait until 75. There’s no time like now.

I suggest he not wait that long. The world would be better off without him now.

I don't believe that he means it.
He was just writing about it because he had nothing to write about and this might be one of his many "back-up" themes.
Hah, if anyone is around for his 75th birthday and reminds him of this article he WILL say: "Hey, it was just a story to turn in to the boss."
To: Rummyfan
Why wait? Oh, and take your scumbag brother with you.

Wow. If I am going die when I am infantile, I should have died years ago.

This is typical Fascist tripe.
They want to eliminate the cost of Social Security & Medicare payments.
They want to STEAL the estates.
They want to eliminate the older conservative voters.
They want to use the resulting revenue to BUY MORE VOTERS.

My personal belief is that everyone lives the exact same number of days. I call those days “today”.

Setting up the ‘duty to die” scenario, Zeke? This man is 57. In ten years he will have changed his mind. I guarantee it.

Fine for him if that's what he wants. But in typical liberal fashion he wants to impose it on others. You might try reading the article before making such statements.
The author specifically says he is not proposing policy changes to incentivize or impose this idea. He merely discusses his reasons for holding this opinion and asks others to think about it.
BTW, I found nothing in the article that could be used to figure out whether the gentleman is liberal or conservative.
In some ways this is a very conservative POV.

Unlike others on this thread, I’m addressing specifically what the article says.
If the author is wrong in his arguments, why not show where and how? Instead of extended ad hominem attacks.
