Laughter is the best medicine
Well, maybe not for Terri Schiavo right now, but it is for us. Satire sometimes says “it” better.
Here’s one of the many reasons why Sigmund, Carl & Alfred is one of my very favorite blogs:
We need to support a logical and compassionate Eugenics program. That’s right- only those that are worthy, as decided by the courts and a few doctors, shall be allowed to live.
If a child is autistic, mentally or physically disabled, there ought to be a program in place that authorizes the witholding of food until death occurs. That death may take up to three weeks is of no consequence. We as a society, cannot risk assuming the financial or moral obligation of that burden. If a child or elderly parent becomes such a problem as to impact the quality of our lives, we need to be able to rid the caregivers of the burden of that care.
That said, to hell with Terri Schiavo. To hell with anyone requiring chronic care. As a matter of fact, I’m feeling politically motivated right now.
We need to make sure there are no more messy Terri Schiavo cases in the future. Every mentally ill person needs to be registered, as do the elderly that cannot take care of themselves. The courts and a medical panel can determine if those lives have merit or value. Obviously, parents, children and other close family cannot be involved, as their emotional attachment cannot be allowed to color any assessment of their value or worth.
The inimitable Scott Ott is pulling for Terri in his own way at Scrappleface:

There’s more commentary at always-funny IMAO and The Flying Spacemonkey Chronicles…although not satirical as in the above.

Obviously the folks from Sweden have been reading our satire and claiming it as their news.
