the topic of "SHOULD ageing Singapore legalise euthanasia?" have finally hit our shores....

i wrote about it earlier.... and it is sad that people say they feel useless and want to die with dignity.

should it be even discuss in the first place. its not about religion or anything..... this is the sad stage my country have come to. it feels like betrayal.... its feels horrible and sad.....

in the first place, we should asked ourselves, why, when people grow old, they tend to think that euthanasia is the best way out?

it this the way life in our country is all about - productivity, wealth and usefulness? and if you have zero value you should opt for euthanasia? to better the country? and not waste money or resources?

if that is so, why call this a country, why call this place my home? why have national day? why waste time doing national service to protect it???? why do anything at all????

should we not take care of our people? but we are too afraid of being a welfare state. too afraid that these old folks will eat away the precious reserves that was suppose to be kept for a 'rainy day' which is never in sight even in the hardest of times....... its so tightly gripped that even a nuclear bomb will not be able to make a dent in that safe......

i am not sure about what the country can do, but what they can do is to let these old people feel a sense of belonging at the least. after all, they did contribute to the success of the country... they should be able to retire and enjoy life a little.... and everyone grows old and die at one point of time..... and its only natural......

but sad to say, in our 'company' policy of 'growth at all cost', a useless person IS a useless person. if you cannot contribute, you are out. there is really no pity. i suppose its safe to say that the earlier you die the better for the company and like i say earlier its a matter of time before this will be legal in any country...not just in our company.

so let the great debate begin... i know what the answers is already. if we can even talk about legalizing organ trade...... there is really no need to second guess, just be prepared when your time comes.

oh...i am so gonna die at 65....... yahhhhhh.......

another useless thought.
