Cost Effective

Baroness Warnock, described as a top British medical ethicist:
If you're demented, you're wasting people's lives – your family's lives – and you're wasting the resources of the National Health Service.
Ann Althouse comments:
Quite aside from guilt and a sense of duty, it would be easy to wrest consent out of people by offering high quality health care to those who agree in advance to be murdered if they get too expensive.
Be careful of letting your personal health
depend upon taxing others' wealth.
