Why Isn’t Incurable Illness Punishable by Death?

Question by ??õ????: Why isn’t incurable illness punishable by death?
I see so much money and effort spent on incurably ill people. Why? Why spend so much money to make a paraplegic person’s life easier when everyone (including the sick person) knows they’d be better off dead? Why make “psych wards” in hospitals to keep mentally ill people who will never be cured and will never do anything productive? Same goes for drug addict “rehab centers” that only actually help a small fraction of its interns.

This planet is overpopulated. There aren’t enough resources for everyone. If we get rid of these sick people, everyone else would have a better life.

I know this statement is morally preposterous, but I also know it’s a valid solution to overpopulation and the logical thing to do.

Please don’t hate. This is for serious answers only.

You know, the Nazis had that idea in 1932. They euthanized a lot of handicapped people until the Pope got involved and made them stop it. But if you are ever lost in the woods with a broken leg, I’ll be sure to remember that you’d rather be shot than slow the rest of us up.

You know, when the Nazis were doing their thing and cleaning house of all the “undesirables” in society, the only time Hitler got any pushback was when he started killing off the retards and cripples. Seriously, the Germans were perfectly fine with him slaughtering Jews, Gypsies, Poles, Russians, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, whatever…but the only time they stood up and said “wait a minute, we might be taking this a bit too far” was when he turned on the helpless members of society. And you know what? Hitler did back off. That’s the only time Hitler was convinced to back off of anything, ever. That’s the only time he looked at himself and said “you know what, they’re right. That’s pretty low, even for me.”

You know that your position is WAY out there when even Hitler is like, “yeah, that’s further than I’m willing to go.”
