They're out to KILL you, How far we have fallen.

Some months ago I published a fictional story about Timmy, a little boy who was misbehaving and his parents couldn't handle him, so they had him KILLED.
 
I had lots of people say I was way off on that, that it could never happen. 
 
Well, look at this story with these excerpts:
 
Wragg's 10-year-old son, Jacob, suffered from the degenerative disease of Hunter's syndrome and had multiple disabilities. On July 24, 2004, his father smothered Jacob, afterward calling the police to tell them he had killed his son, the BBC reported Dec. 12. She further noted that the judge justified the husband's decision to kill his son, even though he was not the primary caregiver; it was Wragg's wife who took the main strain of looking after Jacob. What the decision means, is that "our disabled children's lives are worth considerably less than the able-bodied."
 

Then, on Sept. 9, the Irish Examiner newspaper reported that a study carried out by researchers from the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam found that doctors are helping to hasten the deaths of sick children in a variety of ways, sometimes acting at the edges of the law.  The study was published in the September issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. It looked at 64 deaths of sick children during a four-month period. Of those, 42 cases involved medical decisions that could hasten death.

There's also this story, you can be Killed in India for just being defective, like being a female.  About 10,000,000 have been terminated in the last 20 years after ultrasound because they were just not penile endowed.

So before you call me nuts once more, ask yourself the question, who's going to make the decision about you living or dying in the future?  This is a life and death issue, YOURS.

Into your life it will creep.
