A state is never neutral. It encourages certain choices by what it makes easier. Now that laws are making death easier than care, an implicit statement is being made about human worth.
What we are seeing is the natural outcome of a push started long ago. That push was to devalue human beings and human life and life in general.
It all began with seeing people as replaceable or expendable. In the workplace, people are not seen as a value. They're seen as a burden. They are seen as replaceable. The mentality is to eliminate as many jobs as possible and make one worker carry a heavier load, and if they can't, they'll just find someone who can or is willing.
Notice how they've eliminated a lot of the uniforms people once wore. Businessmen no longer wear ties. Nurses no longer wear whites. Jobs that once typically wore uniforms such as sanitation workers or gas station attendants no longer wear uniforms. The mentality is to bring people down to a common level where they're suddenly seen as easily replaceable.
Life becomes less valuable. What counts is how well someone can conform. Can't cut it or don't conform? No problem. They'll just replace you. It's not about developing people. It's about treating them like clogs in a machine that can be easily replaced.
This mentality transfers over to life in general. Your value is seen only in terms of how well you can contribute to the mass corporations. When you're no longer of value, get rid of you and replace you with a new "part."
Life becomes more and more meaningless. No wonder death rates are up and people don't want to stick around.
Contrast this is a viewpoint where people are seen as "the profit." In other words, it's about developing PEOPLE and what they can do. It's about taking LIFE to it's highest levels. It's about allowing freedom to reign and allowing people to live their dreams to the fullest. It's about corporations suddenly changing to whereby their main focus is on the UPLIFTING OF LIFE, not the mass profit it can make off life.
This is what we need to change over to. The UPLIFTING OF LIFE. We should be striving to uplift people and life. Not by "making everyone equal" via downgrading and dumbing down. Rather, people are equal in that they have EQUAL OPPORTUNITY to find happiness and live their dreams.
People are offing themselves because life is SO NEGATIVE right now. We can turn that around by seeing the VALUE in people in general, or in LIFE in general. Life is NOT to be casually thrown away. Life is a GREAT gift. It's a golden opportunity.
Choice is what we have been given. So what will we choose?
Sarah. Good job as always. I knew about Oregon and California, but just learned about Canada.
Some of the stories I've seen from Canada say folks come for treatment and are offered euthanasia.
There does not appear to be anyone in charge who sees this as a moral dilemma. Where are the voices political or religious speaking out against this atrocity?
