Any government that pushes euthanasia is more civilized is a helluva take, lady.
Would appear Joyce Carol Oates thinks the United States isn’t as civilized as Canada since we ‘politicize’ the ending of life with ‘religious dogma.’ If by that she means we respect life and want to preserve it then … guilty.
Did she really think this was a good tweet?
Then again, we’re not so sure she thought about this, like at all:
while hardly perfect, Canada is a more civilized society than the US, with a concern for the "commonweal" that is not in the American tradition.
euthanasia, like abortion, is a "human rights" issue that should not be politicized or controlled by religious dogma. https://t.co/G8p5iJwpeq— Joyce Carol Oates (@JoyceCarolOates) December 4, 2022
‘Hardly perfect.’
Alrighty then.
Yes, because wanting the government to NOT promote or assist the premature ending of an innocent life is “religious dogma.”🤨
[“I’m from the government and I’m here to help you die sooner.” How ‘civilized’!😒]

It is a lack of respect for life in general, yup. We’ve watched as pro-choice has become pro-abortion, as rare has become ON-DEMAND … sadly, this seems a logical conclusion for a group who doesn’t believe an unborn baby is alive or human.
How very civilized.
Yes, an obsession with killing imperfect humans, or humans who may inconvenience others, is widely regarded as the sign of a great civilization.

So great.
But as long as the state controls it then it’s okay?

"Everyone has the right to be murdered by the state when they become inconvenient to the state" is certainly a take.

But not a great take.
Traditionally, “civilization” was measured by society’s treatment of the very young and very old — those who are incapable of defending themselves, and need society’s protection.
Killing them to preserve the federal fisc isn’t a sign that the commonweal is civilized.

Oh look, it’s the logical end result of unfettered abortion rights that people were called crazy for saying was the logical end result of unfettered abortion rights. That Slippery Slope looks less Fallacious by the day

Well, aren't you just every kind of awful.

She really is.
But hey, at least she’s civilized.
