Bioethicism = Satanism
Tuesday, January 22, 2008
I've been reading this Dean Koontz book, titled "One Door Away From Heaven". It's quite a good book so far, not one of my favorites, but still... I'll let you know how that goes...
Anyway, so one of the characters, and a few of the other minor roles are "Bioethicists"... Bioethicism is quite simply the philosophy that if someone is weak (i.e. above the age of 60, disabled, or chronically ill), they should be killed to make place on the earth for healthier people. Outrageous? Not really according to major universities offering a degree in bioethics. It's funny they should call it 'bioethics'... I don't see what can ever be remotely ethical about such a philosophy.
It's actually quite surprising to see that this new science is progressing at all. Makes me wonder about the kind of people we have become. Hitler was probably a visionary by the standards of these people. You really can't believe this can you?
Copy of Washington Times Report
Extract from 'One Door Away From Heaven' - Dean Koontz (ISBN 0-7472-6681-6)
"Incredulous, Micky read that nearly all bioethicists believed disabled infants, even those mildly disabled, should be neglected until they died. If the babies developed an infection, they should not be treated. If they developed temporary respiratory problems, breathing should not be assisted; they should suffocate."
Extract from 'Practical Ethics' - Peter Singer (ISBN 13-978-0521439718)
"When the death of a disabled infant will lead to the birth of another infant with better prospects of a happy life, the total amount of happiness will be greater if the disabled infant is killed. The loss of the happy life for the first infant is outweighed by the gain of a happier life for the second. Therefore, if the killing of the hemophiliac infant has no adverse effect on others it would be... right to kill him"
Is this what the world has come to? This guy talks of people like they're machines. He talks about happiness, as a bloody quantity. Look at that... "amount of happiness"... Why doesn't someone just kill him, he's obviously depressing a lot of people.
What we're talking here is the bloody euthanisation of human beings. The only reason animals are euthanised is when they're in constant pain that cannot be cured. I would love to be euthanised if I was in constant pain and I wasn't able to do anything else with my life, but that doesn't mean everyone thinks the same way. Moreover, nobody is expendable... nobody can be sacrificed and especially not because they fall ill.
Not all bioethics is involved with this "moral" science of killing people. But most bioethicists support 'positive suicide counselling'. Incredibly, this means that if you were feeling just a bit suicidal, people like Peter Singer would have you go to a suicide camp, where somebody would give you a million reasons to kill yourself. Yes, assisted suicide. This horseshit is a danger to not only the disabled, but also everyone who lives and breathes, because what are the chances you won't fall ill? Would you really want to live your life in fear of the ethics committee of a hospital "offing" you because this was your second visit in a month? I sure as hell wouldn't. Whatever happened to being a doctor for the sake of saving lives? Whatever happened to attempting to treat every single person who came through your door and not giving a shit what anyone told you?
If this goes much further, I feel an apocalypse coming on... And also something along the lines of "illegal doctoring"... Treating patients becomes illegal... Think of the consequences. In a million years, have we progressed nothing more than a few steps backward to heartless mindless murder? Have we come to look at each other as bits of flesh and bone and nothing else?

the end is near didn't you know, soon my blogger buddy soon.
i can't help but agree with you on that... the world is too f***** up to exist anymore... but i sure am glad it still works...
I need to read this book
It sounds horrible! Interesting but horrible. I agree with frederick... I need to read this book. xx
wow, i had no idea such way of thinking existed. it's kind of funny in a way since so many people are against abortions and that's basically killing something that isn't even born yet. but killing a baby just cause it's sick or deformed.. like, actually killing it.. now that's just harsh..
and that book sounds mega interesting. my fave from Koontz is "life expectancy", even though it was unrealistic, it still made an awesome page turner, i never imagined that ending, and it left me wanting more. so u tell me how this one compares to that one, and i'll see if i should buy it :D
Sad
frick.
i didn't know there were
people that actually believed
in such a thing (besides
the typical dictator type).
you cannot contain happiness.
you cannot control.
how can one death lead to another's happiness?
gosh, i should pick up this book.
i am just in shock!
sigh.
Deep...
I believe there is also the theory that miscarriage is a nature's way of "discarding" defects. Would you say nature is cruel, or smart?
May be letting nature takes its course might not be so bad a way, compared to using our limited ability and technology to go against nature.
