Another great article. Thank you very much! This one hits home. My dad just killed himself in the Washington state "Death with Dignity" program on Dec 20th after having a horrible adverse reaction to the worthless shots he'd recently been duped into taking. It was about the most undignified thing I have ever been part of. I used to sort of be for this concept but always had reservations. Now I have seen it close up and also from a broader perspective and I am wholly opposed. No government should have state sanctioned "suicide", at all, ever. In Canada, they are pushing to get mental illness included and they are pushing that only the mentally ill would reject vaccines. We see where this is going...
On UK's Ch4 Drama, there's a group of well retired ex colleagues that meet up again at another's funeral. Can't remember exactly but he had slow death. At the wake they all get drunk and make a pact, out of True love, (title of drama), that in event any of them wanted to exit the world due to medical diagnosis, the others would make it happen. Soon after funeral, one of theem, actual instigator of the coversation asks for help as he has terminal cancer prognosis. Deed done followed by one female with dementia. The young policewoman is suspicious of terminal cancer man's death. I've not watched all 6 parts because, quite frankly, it's too depressing. However, now that I'm tuned into spotting predictive programming, the ending will probably be last one/two caught. However, no doubt the drama itself will be/maybe already has been discussed on some political show with audience invited to vote on assistance, legalities - is it a crime etc. The religious aspect is very important too. My condolences to Mark A Girard. I was originally in favour a few years ago but am opposed now.
Where did you grow up, (meaning what country) if you don't mind my asking? And when? I am a historian/memoirist in the making - taking a lifetime myself. I never seem to stop asking questions.
I was born in Vienna, Austria, where I also went to school and got my first degree, an old-fashioned MPhil in History (major) and Italian (minor). I left Austria in 2010, lived a decade in Switzerland (and a term in the US) before moving to Norway in 2020.
It's evil with intent and AGENDA, by the psychopaths that invent new viruses ,,( not real in nature ) to they can roll out the solution to the compliant masses . But not enough of us are DEAD or DISEASED so let's legalise assisted suicide
People don't die the way that they used to. Sure, there have always been some unfortunate souls who died prolonged deaths, during which they gradually became shells of their former selves. It was rare, though. You aged and your immune system aged with you. A respiratory virus (remember those?) or something similar would do the job before you became demented, etc. Nowadays, "multiorgan failure" is the standard way to go. People don't get to die until they've well and truly fallen apart, at which point no-one can really tell what exactly killed them, since they suffered from such a long list of ailments, any one of which could have done them in. Yes, this is incredibly cruel to those who have to go through it (and remember, that's how most people die nowadays), and it is a result of medical "progress" that manages to keep very frail people alive so that they can suffer longer. It is also a massive burden on the young and healthy. It is one thing to change grandma's diapers during the last couple of days or weeks of her life. It is another thing entirely to do this for the last couple of years or (if you and grandma are particularly unlucky) decades of her increasingly miserable life.
So, unless nature takes care of it in a hurry (antibiotic resistance, anyone?), I expect more and more countries to legalize euthanasia. Despite the inevitable abuses (yes, of course there will be abuses, since nothing humans do is entirely free of them), it is probably for the best. In addition to, or in place of that, expect the elderly to suffer increasing neglect ("yes, of course you can have your life-saving surgery/cocktail, and no worries, someone will change your diapers twice a week!"), accompanied by a decrease in life expectancy. After all, a society can only spare so much of its (shrinking) workforce on elder-care. And don't tell me about those selfish young people who are refusing to breed. Please. Just take a look at housing costs some time. Where are the children supposed to live? Besides, children have to compete with an increasing number of elders (both frail ones and those "enjoying retirement") for resources of all kinds. Those elders get to vote (at least until they become significantly more demented than Joe Biden), whereas children (especially the unconceived ones) do not, with obvious implications.

My condolences, Mark (if I may), about your father's passing. May he rest in peace.
Thank you.
I am sorry for the death of your father.

Wow, what a cool comment--and, yes, without having seen the series, I'd agree on the predictive programming aspekt.
We all know where this is going, I think…
Leaping from decriminalizing to forcing businesses, church affiliated or not, to take such actions seems like a leap too far.
Wait for the next step: governments and NGOs telling you what to eat/drink, read, think…at home. It's logical.

Hehe, no worries.

What, if I may ask in return, are your plans?

Assisted by whom for who
Assisted MURDER....
