Animals do not care about the
quality of life
Animals have a tremendous
craving to live and reproduce, but they have no concern about the
quality of their
life, or the quality of any other creature's life. An animal will
struggle to survive and reproduce no matter how much it is
suffering.
We inherited our emotional characteristics from animals, so we have
their intense craving to live and reproduce, but since animals never
developed a concern about the quality of life, we did not inherit such
a concern, not even for our own life.
We want to enjoy
our lives, but that is not a concern
about the quality
of our life. That is merely a desire to stimulate ourselves, similar to
the rat in the photo below that has an electrode in its brain and is
pressing a lever to stimulate itself.
That rat is not concerned about the quality
of its life. Rather, it is
concerned with entertainment;
it is concerned about stimulating
itself. That rat could be described as " masturbating".
Humans have the intellectual ability to think about what we should do,
but we differ in our intellectual abilities, our desire to think, and
our self-control. Most people are average
or below-average in
intelligence, self control, and the desire to think and learn. Their
mental characteristics were adequate in a prehistoric, nomadic tribe,
but they are substandard for
this modern era.
Even the people who are the most intelligent and have the most
self-control have difficulty controlling their emotional cravings and
doing what is most intellectually sensible.
As a result, all of us spend our lives behaving in a similar manner as
the rat in the photo. Specifically, trying to stimulate ourselves
without much concern for the quality of our life, or how we affect
other people's lives. Three examples of how we behave like that rat in
the photo are:
|
1) |
We stimulate
ourselves with food to
such an extent that we occasionally eat to the point at which we feel
uncomfortable, and a significant percentage of the population becomes
overweight or sickly.
|
|
2)
|
We enjoy
stimulating ourselves with material items, and many people do
it to such an extent that their home becomes cluttered with items, and
they have to stuff some of it into closets and attics. Even
worse, many people are willing to commit crimes in order to stimulate
themselves with material items, and even worse than them are the people
who join
crime networks so that they can acquire phenomenal amounts of material items.
|
|
3)
|
We provide
excessive amounts of food, candy, pampering, and gifts to children.
We are titillated by the smiles and giggles of children, and so we give
them food, pampering, and gifts in order to stimulate them into smiling
and giggling, which stimulates us. We have trouble controlling our
craving to stimulate ourselves and making intelligent decisions about
raising children. We are masturbating
when we give candy and gifts to a child. We are not thinking about the quality of
the child's life. |
Modern humans need to make a distinction between when we are masturbating, like that rat in the
photo, and when we are using our intelligence to determine what will
provide us with a truly pleasant and satisfying life. We must also be
concerned about how we are affecting the quality of other people's
lives.
We oppose euthanasia because we
are animals
Animals do not have the
ability or desire to pass judgment on whether another animal is so
miserable that he should be euthanized, or whether another animal is so
destructive that he should be euthanized to protect the other animals.
Humans have the intellectual ability to make those judgments, but we
don't have the emotional desire. We have such a strong craving to take
care of children that every culture puts pressure on parents to take
care of defective children rather than euthanize them. No culture cares
whether the children are enjoying life, or will ever enjoy their life.
We also have such inhibitions about killing people that we provide
nursing homes for elderly people with no concern for whether they are
enjoying their life. Some of the elderly people have begged for
assisted suicide, but we ignore their requests.
This Constitution authorizes
euthanasia
This constitution changes
the situation dramatically. It is intended for people who are more
concerned with the quality of
life than the number of years that we exist. Therefore, this
constitution requires
euthanizing the babies that are not likely to have a pleasant life, or
who are likely to be a burden or irritation to society.
It is foolish to wait for a perfect solution
We do not have the
knowledge or technology to adequately understand anybody's genetic
characteristics or defects, so there is no way to determine which baby
is "so defective" that he
should be euthanized.
However, ignoring this issue allows a lot of defective people to
suffer throughout their lives. Those defective people can also be a
significant burden on their parents and society, especially if they
have destructive behavior.
The Death Ministry of the Health Division has the responsibility and
authority to pass judgment on which of the fetuses and babies are not
likely to
have a pleasant life, and to euthanize them, regardless of whether the
parents want to raise the child. The Death Ministry makes a decision,
not the parents.
Every existing culture regards children as the personal possessions of
parents, but this constitution changes the situation and regards
children as belonging to society. A child is a member of the next
generation of people.
When a couple has a child, they are adding a member to a large team of
people, and that child must fit into the team. That child belongs to
the team, not to the people who created him. His parents are
responsible for raising him, but they do not own him.
Our ignorance about genetics will result in a lot of disagreements over
which babies to euthanize, but this constitution does not promote the
popular attitude of doing nothing while we wait for somebody to
discover "the perfect solution". This constitution does not believe
that there is a perfect solution to any problem, other than some math
problems.
The Death Ministry also has the authority to pass judgment on which of
the elderly people should be euthanized, and they offer assisted
suicide to whoever wants it, including children.
We cannot be afraid to make
mistakes
One reason many people
oppose the
euthanasia is because we are still very ignorant about life. For
example, a lot of people with cancer
were told by their doctor that they had only a few months or years to
live, but they lived for decades.
Our ignorance might occasionally result in a baby being euthanized that
could have had a fairly pleasant life if given appropriate surgery or
medical drugs, but we cannot expect perfection.
There is no shortage of babies, so they are not a "precious resource". They seem
to be a precious resource only because we inherited the intense
attraction to children from our animal ancestors.
The
people who demand perfection should be regarded as intellectual nitwits. Our goal
should be to improve our
lives, not ignore our problems while we wait for a perfect solution.
By ignoring the issue of defective people, they are becoming an
increasingly large percentage of every generation. There are already
millions of people around the world suffering from serious mental
disorders and physical problems, and many of them are tormenting other
people with their destructive behavior.
We would be disgusted of people were keeping elderly, crippled,
cancerous, and senile dogs alive in
Dog Nursing Homes.
|
We would consider a farmer or a zoo to be cruel if they allowed the animals to
become as elderly, sickly, defective, and miserable as the human race
has become.
We
would also be disgusted if a farmer or a zoo were to put the animals
that were dying of cancer or old age into "Animal Nursing Homes" where
they suffered
until they died.
We would also
consider a farmer or zoo to be cruel if they had something analogous to
Kensington Avenue, where mentally disturbed animals were trying to
relieve their misery through drugs.
We should consider ourselves to be just as cruel for allowing such
extreme
suffering with humans.
We must resist the intimidation
and insults
The people who oppose
euthanasia have no intelligent supporting evidence so they try to
intimidate their opponents with insults and sarcasm. They try to make
their opponents feel guilty. For example, one group of people who
oppose as euthanasia and assisted
suicide has created many short videos, such as this, that
ridicule the concept of assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Rather than be intimidated by their sarcasm, we should notice that all
they are doing is laughing at the reasons that we support euthanasia.
They are not providing any intelligent reasons to oppose it. That type
of sarcasm can backfire by causing some people to think about the
issue, and realize that euthanasia makes sense.
To understand this concept, consider how religious people are using
this technique to criticize atheists. They believe that they can
convince people that evolution is nonsense simply by laughing at and
insulting the evolutionary theories, such as by telling a person: " They believe that humans evolved
from an ape! Have
you ever heard anything so stupid?"
To a religious person, evolution is nonsense, and so they believe that
they can convince a person that evolution is nonsense simply by showing
him those "nonsensical" evolutionary theories. However, when they show
that "nonsense" to a person who can think properly, he is likely to
notice that it makes more sense than religion.
Likewise, to a person who opposes
euthanasia, the reasons for supporting euthanasia are "nonsense".
Therefore, from
their point of view, they can convince people to oppose euthanasia
simply by exposing them to that "nonsense".
The only two ways to convince a person of something is to either
provide him with intelligent supporting evidence, or to deceive him.
Most people don't have much intelligence, and they don't like to think
or learn, so the easiest way to convince most people of something is to
deceive them.
For example, when the 9/11 attack occurred, the journalists and
government officials immediately began explaining what happened without
bothering with an investigation. They deceived people into believing
that they had quickly figured out what happened, and that they knew
that the solution was to attack Afghanistan and Iraq
Likewise, the people who are defending the Apollo moon landing have
created documents and videos in which they provide a deceptive analysis
of the issue, such as by exposing the audience to some
idiotic theories about it, and then criticizing those theories. For
example, they might tell the audience something like this:
Narrator: Here is John Doe,
who doesn't believe we went to the moon. John, why don't you believe in
the moon landings?
John Doe: Since the earth and moon are flat, NASA is obviously lying
when they said the astronauts were circling a spherical earth and moon.
Narrator: As you can see, the people who don't believe we went to the
moon are uneducated and stupid!
That type of deceptive information will cause people to laugh at the
"crazy conspiracy theorists" who don't believe that Apollo astronauts
went to the moon.
The Jews who control the media are aware of this concept. That is why,
when they arrange for television debates, they choose
people who will give a distorted view of the issue.
It is important for modern humans to understand this concept so that we
are not manipulated by deceptive
information, fraudulent interviews, censorship, intimidation, insults,
and sarcasm. We must ensure that the only people who influence our
future are those who have truly intelligent supporting evidence for
their theories.
A person who has something intelligent to say does not need to
oppose or fear critical analyses of his opinions. He will not fear the
people who essentially toss his opinions into an acid bath because a
critical analysis of his opinions will show that his opinions are truly
intelligent.
The people who need deception, censorship, blackmail, intimidation,
murder, false
flag operations, and sarcasm to convince us of their opinions must be
regarded as the losers
or criminals
who have nothing intelligent to say.
It is cruel to make people commit
suicide
When a society opposes
assisted suicide, the people who want to die are forced to either
suffer a miserable life, or commit suicide. However, it is difficult to
commit suicide because we have a very strong craving to survive
regardless of how much we are
suffering. Suicide is an emotionally tormenting option. It is cruel to
allow a person to suffer to such an extent that he is capable of
committing suicide.
To make the situation even worse, by not providing people with the
ability to commit suicide painlessly, people have to choose methods
that are brutal, and sometimes fail. This has resulted in people who
have survived a gunshot, jumping off a bridge, or an overdose of pills,
and ended up with very
serious mental or physical problems as a result. That causes the person
to suffer even more.
By providing assisted suicide services, a person can die in a pleasant
manner, and without failing at it. Furthermore, he will not irritate
other people by jumping off of buildings or bridges, or shooting
himself in his home.
