re: #35 zombie

The old and the weak? Hell, they were just a drag on the system! Don’t you remember — starting in 2011, everyone over 30 had to make an appointment at a Euthanasia Depot.

Now, we have a brave new world.

Oregon Patients Denied Chemo, Offered Assisted Suicide

When Barbara Wagner’s lung cancer returned, the Oregon woman was prescribed a chemotherapy drug, Tarceva, that could lengthen her life and provide comfort. Then, she was notified that the Oregon Health Plan wouldn’t cover the cancer drug, but would cover palliative (comfort) care, including a doctor-assisted suicide

Daschle’s version of health care made it into the stimulus bill.

He praises Europeans for being more willing to accept “hopeless diagnoses” and “forgo experimental treatments,” and he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system.

Brave New World indeed.
