"Sustaining this genetically disabled person will cost 60.000 Reichsmark over his life-span... Citizen, this is also your money!"

In one of the previous posts on this blog, I read about the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe issuing a declaration in which, inter alia, it is stated that:

“We the undersigned Members of Parliament …

(…)

Stress that one US dollar spent on family planning saves governments 4 dollars on health, housing, water, other public services.”


So, it seems that family planning is well-spent money. Better to rid the planent of superfluous human beings, especially in the developing countries, rather than wasting government money on the healthcare, housing, water, or other public services, that would be needed to sustain them…

Am I the only one who feels reminded of the propaganda campaign run by the Nazis to sell the “euthanasia” killing of disabled people to the German public?

We should carefully watch who is going to put his name under this declaration….
