This story finally breaks the preferred illusion that fears of radical human population control is nothing more than the product of a fevered imagination.

There are also Biblical connotations to this story other than the title “Electing God.” This is not the first time men have tried to play God.

Zero’s healthcare geniuses think that the term “useful individuals” is speakable — out in an open paper, the Lancet — for the first time since the Third Reich.

Here's another way to exploit this story to favor the protection of innocent human life whatever its "value" is deemed to be by those who think their god is elected.

Such a question, presented with enough of this story to set off alarms, has the potential to spur a grassroots revolt against the schemers in Washington unlike anything seen in America in a very long time.
