paralysis

[c172]

Hello guys

I want your opinion on the following scenario.

Lets assume there was a completely disabled human being who needs major help through all daily activities.
This human being is under the following condition:

• He/she has no job whatsoever
  
• He/she has zero friends and zero family members
  

If you are an atheist, can you give me a reason (other than legal issues) of why this person should not be killed as to free more resources (money, time, hospital space, etc) for the rest of the community?

Holy goddamn shit!! 

I was born with spina bifida (go to this link if you care to educate yourself *refrains from holding breath on the matter* http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/spinabifida/facts.html ). I use crutches to ambulate. 

I have no job whatsoever. I am on a pension. Partially probably my fault (I was never great at job interviews), and partially definitely not my fault (disabled people are discriminated against, at least here in America). I have also gone through much of my life with zero friends. Again, partially me as a person probably looking in the wrong places, but also able-bodies who sometimes want nothing at all to do with a person on crutches or in a wheelchair.

We're human beings, just like gays, blacks, women (some folks subscribe to all categories aforementioned I'm sure). You provide a compelling (but completely disturbing) argument. Jobs are not the only way a person can contribute to society. Look at all the able-bodied people there are that get onto pensions and other such services and don't do anything to wean themselves off even though they actually can. Nobody (including me) is suggesting they be killed. 

TBH, I have not gotten through this thread. I have only read the OP. I may add more when I do get through the thread.


*wow*
