And so it begins...
Another 'rational' position that life isn't worth preserving or prolonging for the marginalized.
First we normalize the state taking the life of marginal people (sick, handicapped etc.). Then comes the rationale for 'triaging' and allocating scarce resources to those who 'merit' it as producing members and denying it to those deemed unworthy.
The position taken by this doctor is a bit of an anomaly right now. But wait and see how long it takes before his proposal takes flight and health care procedures will be denied seniors and those deemed unfit to be treated. Given the ever increasing rapid change in our society, it won't take too long.

75 is the new 50! Many 75 yr olds have more life and energy than some 40 year olds. There never is a good time to die and unless I am sick and the prognosis is NO HOPE, I'll not be ready at 75 years old to die!
