I live in a town that has offered a novel answer to the riddle of human refuse.

Low income families. The homeless. The head-injured. Recently released prisoners and their families. The impoverished elderly. My town has arranged itself to serve that population.

Or more specifically, my town receives money from the state for providing these services. It's our #1 industry. All the other towns bring their "problem people" here.

It's probably the most efficient approach (within legality). We've concentrated them all in one place. (It's gotten kind of dangerous and filthy.)

It used to be a nice college town.

So ghettos?

The decision makers never live with these decisions. Sound the bell and you're a white nationalist transphobe.

Examples?

You could just become Canada and have the government offer to help the old/disabled people end their lives "painlessly" because your socialized medical system can't keep up.

I've always found it interesting that the conservative view is to disallow euthanasia. They seem to be all for the government staying out of people lives until someone wants to end theirs.

In Canada there is a specific worry that the government is effectively encouraging euthanasia.

I understand they have more permissive euthanasia laws, I fail to see how that is encouraging it though. Are you able to provide examples as I may be misinformed here?

From that article, that was a single agent who has now been suspended. That doesn't sound like state encouragement of euthanasia to me.

There are multiple reports of it happening to others as well. I'm not going to send you everyone. Obviously, this was an example of one such incident.

The fact is, when you have a government run health system and it's limited on funds you will start to encourage the government to move people towards assisted suicide. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out....

One of the women Canada touted as helping "peacefully die" supposedly ask for help with her condition multiple times and was refused any sort of medical help, and then given the suggestion she should just kill herself instead.

Your refusal to acknowledge the facts right in front of your eyes isn't my problem.
