My generation(baby boomers) clamoured to have abortion. Now we are rapidly approaching old age and there are not enough young people to care for us or to pay the taxes to look after us. This looks like natural justice. If it wasn't for the much derided immigrants we wouldn't have enough carers already. It looks inevitable that medical treatments will be denied us as the NHS grinds to a halt. What other measure may be put in place I tremble to think. One thing is sure the situation cannot stay as it is. Will the generation that wanted abortion, end up being euthanased? What goes around comes around.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
