Helen Keller was a supporter of the eugenics movement, and said, “Our puny sentimentalism has caused us to forget that a human life is sacred only when it may be of some use to itself and to the world.”

How useful is useful enough? “Usefulness” justifies all abortions, of course, since embryos are all pre-useful, parasitical actually, and their futures are unpredictable, though the aborted tissues can be made use of to patch up other people who are more useful. Old people who aren’t making money, but are costing money, can’t be said to be useful, even if they have so-called “wisdom”, which you can’t measure. The best that can be said for them is that they provide jobs for the medical profession.

Keller herself would have been a candidate for waste removal in some times and places, such as Nazi Germany. She probably thought she was useful because she went on to write and speak publically, but she was never self-sufficient; who is?

Oregon is one state that now allows people to kill themselves with a doctor’s prescription. All over the country, aborted fetuses or frozen excess embryos are considered usable tissue. The definition of the value of human life is getting stretched more every day, and the fumes rising from areas of the health care bill smell like death more than health.
