Am I odd?

Am I the only one whose first reaction to this

Dutch Group Pushes for Suicide for Elderly Who are "Tired of Living"


was,

"Why just the elderly?"

I'm tired of living.

But these days I also qualify as "elderly".

Tired of living or tired of the modern idiocy proposed as 'life'?

Quite so.

I once heard a pro-death speaker. In his prepared speech, it was all syrapy sympathy for the suffering oldies.

But when it came to question time, it was clear that he wanted to offer quietus to anyone who wanted it, no matter their age.

And, given the pro-choice logic, why not?
