NRB: Warehousing the Elderly

Warehousing the ElderlyBesides thanking radio station managers here at NRB, I’m doing lots of interviews – mainly on the assisted suicide bills which have been introduced into various state assemblies across the US. But here’s another story I’m talking about. In the UK, the elderly and disabled are being ‘put up for auction’ by local councils on ‘eBay-style’ websites, with care facilities then bidding to offer them a bed. The cheapest offer often wins. What’s so sad is, the decision about where an elderly person spends his final years is being made by a computer program that is only interested in cost. Please join me in praying that the sanctity of life will find its rightful place in our culture, safeguarding the elderly and those with disabilities!
