Snake Oil Sale of Euthanasia for the Elderly and The Suffering from Dementia

Over on Mercatornet there is an excellent article that exposes the slick salesmanship of euthanasia salesmen like Philip Nitschke.  We of course can't forget that eugenic storm trooper the Baroness Warnock. Here is a sample to whet your appetite:

Think about it: if euthanasia and assisted suicide are legal do you really think that the excellent, but often expensive and sometimes time-consuming, treatments that are now available to us will stand as a genuine option if there’s a cheaper, easier solution? Sure, perhaps no one you know would be as callous to suggest to an ailing relative that they’d be better off dead, but subtly in those circumstances people may well come to feel it their duty to die. That was certainly the opinion of the UK’s Baroness Warnock when, a few years ago, she had the audacity to tell an assembly of elderly dementia sufferers that they were an unacceptable expense on the public purse and they had a “duty to die”. Euthanasia and assisted suicide limit choice, not Alzheimer’s or dementia.
