Martin Green wants to kill us all when we’re old
Governement advisor, Martin Green, wants assisted suicide legalised.
The Human Rights Act is designed to prevent the idea of state sponsored killings, whether these be for social, economic or political reasons.
This is nothing more than cost cutting: killing pernsioners will save money.
The idea that public opinion s in favour of it is facile. The people who will be affected will be the old, infirm, mentally ill and disabled babies. Of course at first it will be restricted, in theory, to those who truly wish to die but cannot do it themselves. Of course this will be the thin end of the wedge. Once the idea that people can be killed because they are old or ill takes hold it will develop into pressure on those in that position to do us all a favour and opt for premature death. It will strengthen the discriminatory behaviour (of which this idea is simply a part) of “the people” against the most vulnerable in our society and will shame us all.
Our prisons are now more hospitable places than our old folks homes or foster homes. But why not just kill all of them? Put them out of their misery.
It wouldn’t be long before one could make application to a court to kill the doting auntie who has a tidy nest egg. The court’s test would be something like the adoption test applied to parents with kids in care: would a reasonable auntie of sound mind and/or body consent to her own death?
The whole idea is a blatant abuse of human rights in the making.
If this jerk off wants to live somewhere that people are killed for being a nuisance why doen’t he go and live in Libya or China or Russia or some other soulless place.
People might think that whingers like Terry Pratchett and that irritating MS woman should be able to kill themselves if they want to. Well thay can, they just don’t want to. So what makes people think that anyone really wants to die unless the are cracked in the head?
Terry Pratchett must be one of the most selfish people around. Campaigning for something that will inevitably lead to mass executions of the old, disabled and mentally ill.
People in his position who know they will get to a point where thay will be mentally incompetent and physically unable to kill themselves should do it when they can. That’s their right and the only circumstance in which wilful killing should be legal except in self defence or time of war. Suicide is legal and that’s all that should be. “Assisted” suicide is murder. Simple as that.
