So what? Daddy Ash, when a society does something like that, it's called a social contract... us being killed when we're old is objectively better than keeping us alive when we're old, and that's a consequence we would incur if we chose this route. You saying that doesn't strengthen the case against death panels very significantly.

Huh. Daddy Ash, I addressed your point in the OP. You have to address the points I made in the OP about how we'd keep them on a tight moral leash before we can continue this argument. If you read the OP, why didn't you argue against what it said against your point?

*confused*

IMO Battlecow I don't think that the one time thing or just continually purging really changes the base of the argument or makes it any stronger or weaker.
