It's soylent green time

It's beginning to look very much as if euthanasia is the wave of the future, with Alan Greenspan hinting that we will not have the economic resources in the future to keep alive all the up and coming (and aging (baby boomers). Decades ago, Kurt Vonnegut wrote a series of short stories, published under the title Welcome to the Monkey House (see sidebar for more information). One of the stories in the book concerns a government euthanasia program aimed at dealing with the problems of ove-population. Seems as if Kurt had his crystal ball out when he wrote that story.
