North America and Europe have increasingly aging populations and one of the most disturbing social issues of the new millennium will concern a more efficient means of disposing of the elderly. (For example, witness the new euthanasia laws in the Netherlands, and the ongoing debate in many countries about this issue.) Medical advances can assure an average life span in the high seventies, although active life spans have not grown as fast. In the early 1900s, a westerner could expect to spend an average of the last two years of life as an invalid. Today, that figure is seven years. As Ivan Illich has shown, medicine prolongs life, but can not prolong mobility nearly as well. Aging populations with their increased healthcare costs are considered a more extensive socio-economic burden to society. For example, the UK Department of Health recently announced that a new prescription drug for Alzheimer's Disease was available on the National Health Service - but its cost meant that it was only available to a small minority of patients. muslim-canada.org

<< A million Muslims would be no problem if they wanted to assimilate and become part of that population. >> Very few Muslims want to assimilate. Must Muslims not only refuse to assimilate, they demand that the host nation conform to THEIR customs. << Islam is a fast-growing religion; for what reason I'm unsure because it is severe and intolerant. >> Fear, ignorance, brainwashing, poverty, false promises of 99 virgins, intimidation..... pick a reason. << It goes to show you the absolute folly of the multi-culturalism foisted off on us by the Clinton Administration. >> Multi-culturalism, the Democrats way, is the total loss of American culture, as we have known it. << This country is a melting pot and people who try to fractionize it are dangerous. >> Say hello to the 9 million member Muslim movement in this country.
