WHAT an amazingly weird society we have developed into.
Every year, we spend millions of pounds for the aborting of perfectly healthy babies because they are socially inconvenient and, now, we are to spend millions on keeping alive unhealthy people who have gone well past their use-by date.
Regrettably, to maintain a balanced 'healthy' species, it is necessary that people die across the full spectrum of the age range.
The continued medical practice of maintaining life at all costs can only lead to the eventual destruction of the human species.
