Imagining a future with compulsory euthanasia
Let's stop global warming by cutting down on the number of old people
Eutha-nation from The Outlook for Someday on Vimeo.
Is this a great documentary? No. Is it an amazing feat by a high school student? Yes. This is a terrific warning from New Zealand about the possibility of legalised euthanasia. Will it happen in a Western democracy? Probably not. But why not in impoverished regions of China where elderly people have no one to care for them?

Despite President Trump's endorsement of torture in the past, he seems to have backed off it for the time being, heeding advice that it is illegal and that it doesn't work. However, I would venture to predict that if another major terrorist attack occurs, there will be calls to revive torture. People will argue that it is the only way to fight a nasty adversary.
However, there ought to be no exceptions to a ban on torture. It is a violation of human dignity which no democracy should ever use. Phil Devine gives some background in today's newsletter.
