Euthanasia advocates have made real inroads in Europe. Not to be outdone, their counterparts in the United States are going state by state with their agenda. As a great man once said, "All social engineering is preceded by verbal engineering." In the United States, verbal engineering abounds. So much so, that the average person has become completely de-sensitized to what's going on. Apathy has invaded our land. The only voices heard I fear, are the American Idol, the Oprah Winfrey show, and Dr. Phil. Perhaps the occasional person watches the Jerry Springer show for a break. These have become the messianic messengers of healthcare.
The United States ought to be watching what's happening in the UK. The UK operates under socialized medicine. Just what the dynamic duo may pose for the United States. But is it safe? It has been recently reported, due to deficiencies in the UK's healthcare system, thousands of Britons are enduring unnecessary pain because of a lack of specialist clinics available that would ease their suffering. Many people are forced to put up with pain, when it could have been alleviated with the right help. Britain currently has only one pain management specialist for every 250,000 citizens. This means, only 1 in 7 sufferers get to a specialist.
Pain, untreated, leads to depression. It also prevents a normal life style. The quality of life is profoundly altered. In my mind, this is part of an agenda leading to the acceptance of assisted suicide. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I think I smell a rat. Could an altering of our present healthcare system to a socialized system be part of an agenda to legalize euthanasia on a broad scale?
