Man, this is horrifying. Nobody can possibly think this is okay (except maybe @denlillaapan )

I'm not necessarily against the idea of medical assistance in dying, but it seems to me that if the individual is themself saying they don't want it, then it should automatically be called off. (Even if they may have said yes previously, or if there are questions about mental capacity).

I agree. The consent part would seem to be a non negotiable requirement

is this the same story that came out a few months ago, where there was nobody to care for her, and she was delusional, and there was no funds/assets to seize, or doctors recommending it blah-blah-blah?

Anyway. Sad humans have to die... but not that sad for an 83yo with late-stage (hopeless?) cancer

In other words...the woman is disposable...and a burden on the family and the state

did she already reproduce? (CHECK)

did she live a good life? (CHECK)

Is she suffering? (CHECK) and a burden to others? (CHECK, CHECK).

"Aktion T4" raw and hard

Literally treating human beings like cattle that are no longer productive.

If the state or a medical institution can override your expressed will because they consider you to have "run your course" or to be a "burden," then the most fundamental private property of all—your own body—has ceased to exist.

In other words: Reducing human life to a checklist of "reproduction" and "cost to others" is the perfect definition of a collectivist dystopia.

It could be called: state-run social cleansing.

Seems like the financial incentives for this sorta thing are all kinds of messed up in socialized medicine situations.
