"If you're demented, you're wasting people's lives - your family's lives - and you're wasting the resources of the National Health Service."
LONDON, (LifeSiteNews) - ... Baroness Mary Helen Warnock has said that people suffering dementia have a duty to commit suicide. Baroness Warnock, .... said that she hopes people will soon be "licensed to put others down" who have become a burden on the health care system.

In another article .... she suggests, "There's nothing wrong with feeling you ought to do so [commit suicide] for the sake of others .... .... sacrificing oneself for one's family would be considered good. I don't see what is so horrible about the motive of not wanting to be an increasing nuisance."
....prominent voices in Britain's House of Lords continue to advocate for legalised euthanasia and assisted suicide. ....
Contemporary utilitarianism ....is widely held in modern academia and medical circles. The principles of utilitarianism form the foundation.... "bioethics" .... that has largely replaced traditional Natural Law ....principle of "do no harm"

This is the logical end-game of socialized medicine.
Socialized murder.
Since all humans come with opinions attached, I will say that, in my opinion, “moralists” contribute nothing substantive to contemporary life, and as such, have an obligation to die.
Especially upper-crust British “moralists.”
That last bit may be letting my own biases show, however.
Oh, well.
Liberals are a drain on the whole human race.
"Good evening, Baroness Warnock. My name is Bond. James Bond."
If this is the best that a British moralist can offer as right conduct, then we are entering a new barbarian age. This woman is a barbarian.
What is it with Hil(l)arys? Let her demented a$$ step to the front of the line to be put down.
I wonder how she feels about drug addicts with their health problems? Or gays and aids?
Sorry, I misread. . . the . . . baroness . . . should step to the . . . front of the line.
Funny how people like the baroness always think it is they who should decide who and what goes?
Not “ha, ha” funny.
You first Baronesss...
Cause from here, your idea sounds pretty DEMENTED to me....
Who gets to decide which people are “demented”?
And why is it so many liberals are in favor of slaughtering the elderly and the disabled, but are against capitol punishment?
"This person suffering from hereditary defects costs the community 60,000 Reichsmark during his lifetime. Fellow Germans, that is your money, too. Read ‘ New People’, the monthly magazine of the race-political office of the NSDAP."
