Baroness Mary Warnock, one of Great Britain’s most influential experts on both education and medical ethics, has raised the ire of British citizens, charities and pro-life organizations by stating that, “Elderly people with dementia are 'wasting' the lives of those who have to care for them.”
Warnock became a vocal supporter of euthanasia – here in the colonies we call it assisted-suicide - after her terminally ill husband was helped to die by his doctor more than a decade ago.
The Baroness, best known for leading a controversial 1970’s commission that determined disabled and emotionally-disturbed children should attend the same schools as children without special needs, told “Life and Work” magazine: “If you are demented, you are wasting people's lives, your family's lives, and you are wasting the resources of the National Health Service.”
I'm in favor of national health care, but this article raises a serious question: when does the right to die become one's patriotic duty?

Me thinks you have a serious mental problem just for asking this question.
