LONDON, September 19, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In an interview, Baroness Mary Helen Warnock has said that people suffering dementia have a duty to commit suicide.

Baroness Warnock, called the "philosopher queen", is regarded as Britain's leading moral philosopher. She said that she hopes people will soon be "licensed to put others down" who have become a burden on the health care system.

    And so, on the Right, Eugenism raises its ugly head again.

    Ok, while I say that THIS bitch is whacked, as an older woman, I do not relish the idea of simply curling up (literally) and dying. If I were to be diagnosed with a terminal illness at my age (especially with no health-care, as I now find myself, thank you very much GWB), I would very much want to be able to decide-enough- I have had enough! This is not, however, a decision that I want anyone else but me to make! Voila! Living will! I hope that this trend in "life planning" will become more a part of what we, as responsible parents, will do for our families.

    'Und with the loss of Adolf so many Aryans suffered!'

    Can the many psychopaths, of whatever age group, who plead for the sympathetic murdering of others be similarly put down to serve the public good?

    'Yes officer what is it?'

    'Please finish your tea Baroness. We're here to shoot you. We've had complaints...'

    Or maybe, more nicely send the philosophers from the Thanatos Brigades to a nice padded room till their metabolism stops barking homicidal rants?
