Question by : Why isn’t incurable illness punishable by death?
I see so much money and effort spent on incurably ill people. Why? Why spend so much money to make a paraplegic person’s life easier when everyone (including the sick person) knows they’d be better off dead? Why make “psych wards” in hospitals to keep mentally ill people who will never be cured and will never do anything productive? Same goes for drug addict “rehab centers” that only actually help a small fraction of its interns.

This planet is overpopulated. There aren’t enough resources for everyone. If we get rid of these sick people, everyone else would have a better life.

I know this statement is morally preposterous, but I also know it’s a valid solution to overpopulation and the logical thing to do.

Please don’t hate. This is for serious answers only.
