It saddens me greatly that this nonsense is replicated anywhere – it is patently wrong – the attempt to establsih a link between national health care and eugenics and indeed nazism is asinine – it follows the ” all fish swim therefore all things that swim are fish kind of logic” and derves to be dismissed

I would have thought the editors would demonstrate more discernment when examing a topic as vital as health care.

National Health systema are all over the world – Australia, France, Britain, Israel – Americans would do well to look for the truth to their efficiacy rather listen to pooted versions from a political zealot

Dr Ezekiel Emmanuel has quite a bit to say about euthanasia too. In an article that he co-authored for the Lancet he wrote:

Allocation of very scarce medical interventions such as organs and vaccines is a persistent ethical challenge. We evaluate eight simple allocation principles that can be classified into four categories: treating people equally, favouring the worst-off, maximising total benefits, and promoting and rewarding social usefulness. No single principle is sufficient to incorporate all morally relevant considerations and therefore individual principles must be combined into multiprinciple allocation systems. We evaluate three systems: the United Network for Organ Sharing points systems, quality-adjusted life-years, and disability-adjusted life-years. We recommend an alternative system—the complete lives system—which prioritises younger people who have not yet lived a complete life, and also incorporates prognosis, save the most lives, lottery, and instrumental value principles.

I try to read primary sources. Glen Beck makes a living talking about certain things. One thing is for certain, nothing he advocates has to do with taking my money and even more importantly, my life.

Nor is he the first to suggest that President Obama’s fiscal policies are at the least very inflationary, if not hyperinflationary. I have had that concern myself from Bush’s first stimulus bill — I called it an inflationary bribe, because that’s what it was.
