seems a hopeless task. (You might inquire of Archytas, the biologist.)
Weak or deformed babies were simply left to die but cost a fortune to
save in modern times therefore are pretty much equal to end-of-life
costs for the elderly. One can argue whether past poverty or present
toxins and lifestyles have contributed equally to many health/mental
ailments. Last week an article mentioned a sperm donor who sired 150
children- does he pay child support? :-) The elderly need their wits
to avoid a nightmare of hospitals and nursing homes- one friend pays
several thousand a month waiting for death- another stayed in her home
till age 89 with a "helper", a cocktail at dinner and shot of brandy
at bedtime, 3 packs of cigs a day and got her wish to leave life
carried feet first out of her home. (Sort of like dying with your
boots on...)
What about individual responsibility?
Not sure how you will ever attain a panacea or utopia. Humans are too
diverse in potential- again, you can check with Archytas, the
biologist. Look at the centuries of wars that have slayed generations
of youths- maybe that's what the Middle East needs to solve their
employment problems for their over-educated youths who appear like
thugs a la mob rule. Jonathan Swift would know what to do! Or Obama-
"Tax the Rich!"
