“Sorry but euthanasia is cheaper and doesn’t make everyone a slave to the Government [sic].”
“The ones who are disabled and can’t work…why are we required to keep them?” the Chrisforgov account responded. “Sorry but euthanasia is cheaper and doesn’t make everyone a slave to the Government [sic].”
Defending his now-deleted comments, the account admin mused as to why American taxpayers should “have to keep up people who cannot contribute to society any longer?”
“Obviously, I’m not saying the Government [sic] should put these people down,” the Chrisforgov account wrote, contradicting its earlier statement. “I’m just saying that we shouldn’t keep them up.”
Even if you do not believe the Facebook comments came from him, his own campaign website is bad enough. Given what I read there (I won’t link to it) I’d say it’s plausible he made those posts himself.
This is what a significant percentage of conservatives (and yes, even some “liberals”) believe: that people like me are worthless and should be put down for our own good.
Better dead than a slave to the government, right?
The parents of 10-month-old Charlie, who suffers from a rare genetic condition, want him to be treated with a trial therapy called nucleoside in the US.
Chris Gard and Connie Yates, who are in their 30s and from Bedfont in West London, asked judges at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to examine the case after exhausting all legal avenues in the UK.
I’m not so wild about the “parental rights” argument, as compared to Charlie’s own human rights.
But yeah, the UK totally has no need for ECHR accountability. Let’s hope the reprieve does hold.
