Euthanasia, Japanese Style

Ideas Have Consequences

It’s not even 2022 yet and evolutionist Taro Aso, who happens to be Japan’s Deputy Prime Minister, not to mention its Finance Minister, is already saying that the elderly should be allowed to “hurry up and die” instead of costing the government money for end-of-life medical care. After all, the second most powerful man in Japan added, “You cannot sleep well when you think it’s all paid by the government.” Not to worry, however, Aso later clarified his remarks, explaining that they merely were his own opinion. We wonder when Mr. Aso will take his turn.

  1. As a Roman Catholic, Asō belongs to the small minority of Japanese Christians; but he has not emphasized his religiosity. While Christians only account for around 1% of the Japanese, Aso is the seventh Christian prime minister of Japan, after Hara Takashi, Takahashi Korekiyo, Masayoshi Ōhira, Ichirō Hatoyama, Tetsu Katayama, and his own grandfather Shigeru Yoshida.[61]

    1. For a Christian, it would make good sense. The sooner the elderly move on to Heaven where, as far as we know, they have no problems with health or social security budgets, the better it will be all round.

  3. Japan, no further description required

    One picture explains a lot. One more thing, be careful following their technical manuals, they are written in Jinglish.

  5. Hurry and die didn't help them win the war. Kamikaze made little difference.
    Perhaps these old Japanese were in the war and guilty.
    Anyways its a ugly thing to say hurry up.
    Fire this guy already. Hurry up.

  6. Actually, I wouldn't so hurry on this topic.

    Taro was referring to "tube people", not just "all old people", as one may conclude from this blog post. Me, living in Japan for about a decade, I can tell you what does that mean. It means that instead of let old (very old!) people die naturally as in the rest of the planet, Japanese medical system (mostly consists of atheists/evolutionists) simply does not allows them so: they connect them to various machines and keeping them alive, often in "vegetable state". This costs enormous money to Japan and debates around this are not new, but rather pretty old. There are various opinions on this, but mainly people dislike that and want to abandon, while current government keeps that for some reasons.

    Anyway, the point is that I would not be so sure what is better: exist in vegetable state in coma and then die much later anyway or just die? It is, of course, decide up to you what is better from humanity side. But I would not need such treatment and get off this Earth naturally.
