Clndl's Future-Shock Pure Paranoia Theory

As I have said recently, it will not be long before there will be jobs made for people to become councelors, to coerce those on SSI/SSDI and Medicaid/Medicare with disabilities-- to end their lives. This is nothing short of cultural genocide. It appears that Oregon will be the first state to do this. The legal right to die there is still not covered by Medicaid or Medicare (YET) but the state of Oregon has just decided to give full financial support to those who can not otherwise afford physician-assisted suicide. From the end of the Washington Post article "Free Ticket to Eternity" from February 6,1999 page A21, the author of the article states:

"In the sweepingly compassionate new world ahead, I would not be surprised if Oregon became the first state to legalize the right of physicians to directly kill a patient. At no cost to the departed, of course. "
