"Give with a free hand, but give only your own."
-- J.R.R. Tolkien The
Children
of Hurin
Death
Club
Examples
A
"Death Club" is a collection of people who at best seek to find
justification for inaction that will expedite the demise someone
who
has become an emotional or physical drain on them. At
worst, they
want to actively hurry things along. The Club provides
support
for actions that would cause a burdened conscience. This
is a
form of "collective salvation". Unfortunately, people must
face
judgment as individuals, not as a member of a group. And
even if
a group approves, this does not remove guilt, as former members
of the
German National Socialist party (Nazi) came to realize. With
regard to
discussion groups, "death club" means that the topics of
discussion are
dominated by people who regard death of other people as the
ultimate
solution to all their problems, and push an agenda of depression
and
hopelessness.
Proverbs
14:6 A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for
a man of
understanding. 7 Leave the presence of a fool, for there you
do not
meet words of knowledge. 8 The wisdom of a prudent man is to
discern
his way, but the folly of fools is deceiving.
Proverbs 18:2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but
only in
expressing his opinion.
Proverbs 23:9 Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he
will
despise the wisdom of your words.

Now, here is the real interesting part. These people have a
tough
decision to make, and the situation they are faced with seems
hopeless. But, what if... what
if there were things they could try, aggressive avante
gard
treatments they could try that so far, have only been tried on
mice? What if there were untried ideas for treatments, not
only
for the cancers, but the Alzheimer's disease too? I think
there
are, and I happen to know of a few. You will find them
detailed
in other pages of this site. What do you think would be the
response if I were to tell them about these things? Would
they be
overwhelmed with joy, thankful, and feel a ray of hope like a
sunbeam
breaking through storm clouds? No, they would not.
They
have decided that death is good. Death (of someone else, mind
you),
answers all of their
problems. You see, they have decided that they want the person
they are
responsible for to die, and any person who points out that there
are
other options, that it is not time to give up, destroys the
rationalization they have built up. They were looking for
group
approval, group affirmation, and something to soothe their
troubled
consciences.
There is no such thing as group salvation. Redemption by
group
affirmation does not exist. You will stand as an individual
on
judgment day and answer for your sins. It will not matter
what
anyone else thinks.
These people will be incensed. Their consciences will sear
their
souls, and they will reject with as much force as they can muster
any
suggestion, any scrap of information that they do not have to give
up,
that they can fight on. And they will malign and denounce
the
messenger as "insensitive".

Another example of a thread that started on Oct 18th 2010. This
one
is about Jean Carper's book "100
Simple
Things
You
Can
do
to Prevent Alzheimer's". What I find
striking is the vigorous defense of impotence. These people
want to believe there is
nothing
they can do, and will go as far as knocking on her door in an
attempt
to intimidate her from writing things they don't agree with.
I
haven't read her book, so I can't say if I would agree with what
she
says or not, but I whole-heartedly defend her right to say them!

Commenter #3 is quite explicit about her view of the subject,
having
voted for euthanasia. This same commenter was also very
angry at
some posts to the group challenging the opinion that the disease
could
not be fought, that the only outcome was a slow decline, and
nothing
should be done to halt or reverse it.
From Aug 11th 2009:
... I usually just glance thru your
post because
many of them involve testing for this or that and that cost
money.
Money I don't have and I know the doctor will not order the
test. They
are interesting and gives food for thought, but to me, your post
seem
like you are pushing your viewpoint on me and if I don't agree,
I am
being condemned/judged. Your enthusiasm is pushy and overwhelms
me. -
That is how I feel...
This
reaction really had me puzzled. This woman was complaining
about
someone enthusiastically telling her how to fight the
disease.
She was feeling "pressured" and "overwhelmed". But if you
read
her comment from November 22, 2010, you will understand why.
"...I voted for
'assisted suicide' when I lived in Oregon." She is a lover
of
death. To her it solves all problems. Anyone who
effectively and enthusiastically presented a pro-life viewpoint is
a
threat. Her conscience must be bothering her, and the
pro-life
poster had poked a little hole in the group-affirmation she had
been
experiencing.
Well, apparently she got her way because the pro-life poster
stopped
contributing information to that message board. Since her
view
was shared by the majority of member, most importantly by the
owner/moderator of the group, there cold be no open discussion of
the
topic (her "feelings").
But this is a road we dare not follow. Eugenics.
Euthanasia.
First is starts with the "good death" of hopelessly ill
people.
Then, when the public becomes accustomed to the idea (their
consciences
having been seared), the window moves a little bit further to
include
the termination of unwanted people of all sorts: mentally
ill,
mentally handicapped, physically handicapped, and inconvenient
pregnancies. Later, people accept the genocide of others
based on
race, religion, or political viewpoint.
I'm afraid that the Liberal Progressive lovers of death (of others
of
course, not themselves, the "elite") have invaded even
disease-specific
discussion groups.
