Reverse Euthanasia

http://www.youtube.com...A note to my skeptics:I know you are out there. You watch over my shoulder, waiting for me to make a mistake, and then you all shake your heads slowly, as if to say,"He's done it now. There's no fixing that. It's Siberia for him, poor fellow."You will doubtless notice in this debate, that neither my worthy opponent nor I are responding point-by-point to each other's arguments. This is not an error. This is not a n00bish mistake, to be repaid in scorn and ashes.We do this because only sillies would take a critical issue like this and turn into an academic slogfest. We do this because we are smarter than that. You might do that; many of you HAVE done it. You know who you are.No, what you would see as dropped arguments we see as opportunities for greatness; for our intellects are brighter than yours, our wills are stronger than yours, and our kingdoms are greater than yours. You have no power over us.~~~~~~~~~~~~Definitions:Human Liabilities (HL): All children younger than the estimated Educational Cost Break-even point, where the amount already invested in their education is less than 2/3ds of the total estimated cost.Misery: Anything that results from adopting my opponents plan; extreme unhappiness.Disaster: My opponent's plan.Woe: What will happen if my opponent's plan is attempted.Anguish: See Misery.~~~~~~~~~~~~I will now compare the benefits of my plan to the costs, the dreadful, catastrophic misery, of her plan.My plan:All population replenishment is stopped, and all Human Liabilities are eliminated. This can be done via normal medical and legislative process, and does not require force of arms or any technology not currently in widespread use.The capital that would normally have gone to feeding, clothing, educating, and otherwise supporting these liabilities would now be free to better society, and will be for the remainder of human history. Women who were saddled with the care of infants could now add to civilization with their other talents; teachers would be free to create, instead of merely pass along the creations of others; poor people who were burdened with numerous offspring would now have a surplus of capital which which to enjoy life.Humanity would enter a golden age. Prosperity would be universal. The scientific advances, the freedom of all mankind from the henious burden of the young, the surplus of food for the third world, would all spell a new and glorious future for the people of Earth. And then, slowly, the members of this happy time would grow old and would die happily in their beds, content to have been part of the greatest generation of all history.Peace would reign supreme over a planet that would remember Man kindly. No more war; no more human disease; no more mass extinctions of harmless flora and fauna. Teenage pregnancies, drunkenness, strife, and graffiti would all come to a final end, and the earth would rest.Her plan:Somehow, magically, mankind forgets or is forced to forget everything it knows about agriculture, science, medicine, and everything else that goes along with civilization. I suspect she intends a violent assault on the intelligencia, along with the murder of every farmer on earth.Such a plan could only be carried out by a tyrannical world dictatorship, ruled by a madman. My opponent, being a madwoman, is probably considering herself in the lead role of this tragedy. The carnage would be prolonged, as no-one would submit to this rape of humanity willingly; but by the magic of ill-thought-out plans she somehow succeeds.The results can only be horrifying. Deprived of agriculture, 99.999% of humanity will die a slow and agonizing death by starvation. My opponent plans to bunker down in the White House and the adjoining Cathedral of Oryus while the remnants of mankind writhe in anguish on the streets. The few that remain will soon forget everything mankind has learned over the milennia, exactly as she planned. They will become scavengers, filthy bands of desperate survivors, scarred and haunted by a dying world. Sanitation and comfort will be forgotten; disease and misery the only reality they and their filthy mis-begotten progeny will ever know. Mankind will rise again, but only so far; a dirty race of illiterate cannibals, unhappy, underfed, and hopeless.Her plan will doom the vast majority of 7 billion people to a terrible and painfully slow death, and the few survivors of her malice will never, never, never recover. It would be kinder to them and their descendants if she had killed them, too.If I have to spell out the problems with this plan, I will lose all faith in the members of this site.I return this debate to my malevolent opponent, wishing her the best of luck.-C
