The culture has thrown away the young through abortion and contraception, and so it stands to reason that discarding the old is sure to follow.

The legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia have come at a predictable time. After decades of legal abortion and contraceptive use, not a single Western country has a birth rate remotely close to population replacement level. Increasingly aging populations are putting enormous pressure on healthcare systems with fewer taxpayers to support them. The strategy of importing immigrants from other cultures to make up for the babies Westerners have avoided through contraception or killed by abortion comes with its own manifest problems.

It isn’t just population implosion. Rates of mental illness, social atomization, loneliness, and anxiety have never been higher. Legal euthanasia essentially serves as a pressure valve—a cynical way of addressing the problems we have created with the Sexual Revolution that we are unwilling or unable to solve.
