- When you want to start addressing some facts, rather than trying to
- put a quick end to the debate through accusing me of Nazism, let
- me know...
-
- I won't use a gas chamber. People will die of old age if allowed to.
- I wouldn't be required to kill anybody- simply witholding medication will
- do the trick. Medication that costs thousands of dollars; so a few
- senile old people can live for a few more years not knowing what day it
- is. I have had first hand experience of this. A relative of mine was
- in precisely this predicament, and I assure you that best thing that
- could have been done for *all* (including the relative) would have been
- to let the person die, rather than try keeping them alive.. If this
- is what you call Nazism, then your definition is a bit twisted.
