As far as picking teachers over elders dying, don't blame him blame money and it's control over life.
The other part...Hitler and the aryan race anyone?
Do you mean its' not wrong because something worse happened in history ?
No, I was making a comparison. Only wanting the "good" people to reproduce, putting money towards shots to make those less then perfect sterile. I'm not saying it's wrong or right, but I'm saying it very similar to the plan of a man who most people dislike.
Alex Jones always takes stuff out of context. Bill Gates is getting old himself, by the way...
so actually he wants to kill himself ?::
I guess I'm evil, as well, because I don't necessarily disagree with Gates.
The point at which I want to die is when I'm no longer physically or mentally capable of taking care of myself. Heck, maybe I wouldn't even take it that far. If I no longer have the faculties to enjoy any aspect of life then what exactly is the point of living? Sorry, but having to pop a dozen horse pills just so I can prolong my days of not being able to wipe my own butt doesn't sound like much of an existence to me.
Well, if the person wants to pay for these services out of their own pocket (or their private insurance), then I don't see why the government should have any say in the matter. If someone wants to live to be a decrepit 100+ year-old and you have the means, then go for it.
But if you're talking about public tax dollars being used to prolong such a life, then no, I don't think that's right. I know our culture is obsessed with extending human life beyond what is (or should be) practical, but at some point, you have to put knee-jerk emotions aside and see the bigger picture. I'd rather save the life of one kid or help a hardworking family out of destitution vs extending the life by a few months or even a handful of years of a hundred or a thousand adults who have had the opportunity to live a full life.
