Right after Thanksgiving, we told you how the U.K. government voted on 'assisted dying' legislation, which is just a sanitized way of saying euthanasia.
Disability rights groups and others warn that such legislation will go from being a choice to being an obligation, and this writer has been sounding the alarm on such laws for a while.
Now it appears the U.K. is going to make it rather lucrative to off your loved ones before they turn 75:
The UK government has announced plans to offer cash incentives to the relatives of elderly citizens who opt to be euthanized.

The entire post reads:
According to a disturbing report in the Telegraph, 'terminally ill pensioners could end their lives earlier to spare loved ones six-figure tax bills under assisted dying legislation, experts have warned.' Under the current rules, pensions 'are passed on free of income tax if the person dies before 75 years old.'
Wow.
And here's the report from The Telegraph:
Terminally ill pensioners could end their lives earlier to spare loved ones six-figure tax bills under assisted dying legislation, experts have warned.
Under current rules, pensions are passed on free of income tax if the person dies before 75 years old.
If assisted dying becomes legal, however, it could leave someone close to that age with an agonising choice between prolonging their life or saving their family hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Pensions specialist, Andrew Tully, said that the potential law change presented an additional consideration in what was already a “cliff-edge situation”.

Today it's 'terminally ill' pensioners.
Tomorrow it's just pensioners.
We'd like to see Starmer and his entire cabinet lead by example here.

That'll never happen.
Is that with or without their consent?

They're going to make it so expensive to keep grandpa alive after 75 that families might not have a choice.

The want 'universal healthcare' precisely to have ultimate power over our lives and deaths.
Uh, why not just get rid of the tax rather than making suicide tax-deductible? https://t.co/oiXo82zDd7
