Our society is far too concerned about the "sanctity of life." There are so many people who are simply a drain on our economy. The elderly, prisoners, the mentally disabled and unwanted children are the main offenders as they contribute nothing to the world financially and yet eat up billions of dollars each year. The elderly are utterly useless; prisoners cause the crime; the mentally disabled are actually allowed to breed, and so, make the human race genetically inferior; and unwanted children grow up to be criminals among other low-lifes. What we need is to start a mass eugenics movement, so that we may purge our pure society from such undesirables. After all, science has proven that everything in existence is based on the material and its laws. Evolution is the law of life--we therefore, should not spend so much time and effort protecting those who cannot protect themselves. The weak die off and the strong live on...it is the law of nature, the only absolute source for our moral codes. We are simply material beings who live and die...it's just the way things are, so why concern ourselves with life so much? Therefore, do you support euthanasia, abortion and sterilization of the non-contributors of society? If not, please offer logically justification for your claims.

Only God has the power of life and death. The people that you deem to be useless are of value to others (family, etc). We do NOT have the right to play God and form value judgments over whether someone's life is worthy or not!

You have no logical justification for God or his character. For all I know God could be hideously evil.

What do you mean. We just elected our next President who voted that children born alive during a failed abortion are allowed to be euthanized. Clearly, over half the American people are starting to see the light that euthanasia is a good thing, not something that should be shunned for irrational religious reasons.

The Bible is very clear about God's character.

I don't support euthanasia without the person's consent. That's not a religious counterargument--that's just not wanting to violate a person's rights.

I'm not sure where you're coming from b'c you seem to not believe in God, yet, your name suggests otherwise, and I don't know if you're original post is sarcasm or what but I agree with this statment.
