Do the Demented Have a Duty to Die?
Ken Connor has this commentary on Townhall: “A waste. A burden. That is how influential medical ethics expert Baroness Warnock views people suffering from dementia. Lady Warnock, a prominent adviser to the British government, told the Church of Scotland’s Life and Work magazine that people suffering from dementia should be allowed to kill themselves rather than continue to burden their families and Britain’s National Health Service. Sadly, Warnock’s comments are all too consistent with our modern utilitarian view of life.”
