Zeke Emanuel, Biden's top coronavirus adviser, published an essay in the Atlantic that is unmistakably an argument in favor of euthanasia for the aged. @paulsperry theatlantic.com/features/archi…
His monstrous argument is that everyone should willingly die, or at any rate decline to seek any sort of medical care, at the age of 75 when, he asserts, "creativity, originality, and productivity are pretty much gone."
The most reprehensible feature of this eugenicist screed is that he leaves himself a loophole: "I retain the right to change my mind and offer a vigorous and reasoned defense of living as long as possible." Euthanasia for thee and not for me.
If this is Biden's idea of a health adviser, we should expect his promised healthcare reforms to include measures intended to limit or deny care to citizens deemed unproductive.
One imagines an exception will also be made for Joe Biden, who is now a far from youthful 77.
