You could have seen this coming a mile away, assuming you were standing far enough back from the crematoria:
Mississippi is not alone in the modern debate over the sanctity of life. More than 4,000 miles away, the Netherlands is caught up in its own controversy over a proposal from the Dutch Medical Association (KNMG) to expand the definition of who may qualify for assisted suicide — including for the first time such nonmedical factors as loneliness and financial struggles.
“Many older people have various afflictions that are not actually life-threatening but do make them vulnerable,” wrote the KNMG in a ten-year study report published in October.
“Vulnerability stems not only from health problems and the ensuing limitations, but also the measure in which people have social skills, financial resources and a social network.”
Why limit it to the elderly? I know a lot of college students who have no social skills, financial resources, or a social network worth the name. I mean, if Facebook is your only “social network,” then you could argue you have only a virtual quality of life, making 99% of the Occupy folks prime meat for the euthanasia chefs.
