I get it is bad but isn't Soylent Green where they turn old non-sick people into food with a nature documentary in color as payment?

- Retric 4y agoI think it was meant differently, the dying are food for the hospice industry. This sets it in conflict with other approaches like dying at home or euthanasia.
- rightbyte 4y agoYe. Soylent Green would work better as an analogy for horrible uneseccesary euthanasia, not bad elderly care.
- Retric 4y agoHospice is quite literally a place for sick people to die while drugged up on painkillers and receiving zero life extending medical care. It’s basically euthanasia through negligence, as it’s more culturally acceptable for the elderly to die of dehydration than drugs.
- rightbyte 4y agoOh I thought hospice was a fancy word for elderly care, not palliative care.
