Dr. Ezekiel
Emanuel, the brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, proposes a
‘complete lives system’ of healthcare.
This is an
extract from the paper he joint-authors with Govind Persad BS a and Alan Wertheimer PhD a,
published in The Lancet –
“Ultimately, the complete lives system does not create 'classes of Untermenschen whose lives and well being are deemed not worth spending money on,' but rather empowers us to decide fairly whom to save when genuine scarcity makes saving everyone impossible.”This is called “communitarianism”.
Communitarianism is
already up and running, here, in the
UK.
‘Quality of life’ assessments are being made to determine who is
treated and who is not.
Those with learning disability, those mentally impaired
in whatever manner or form, the old, the vulnerable, are not being
selected for treatment.
These are the victims of “communitarianism” by omission.
These are the victims of “communitarianism” by omission.
There are victims of “communitarianism” by commission, given DNR notices or
slapped onto the LCP.

And here –
Liverpool Care Pathway – If The Facts Fit...
The old and the disabled,
by mental or by physical impairment, are at risk. But let us
make it plain,- there are no untermenschen.
That is not
to say, however, that there are no ubermenschen.
All menschen
are equal, but some menschen are more equal than others!
