Howdy!This sensational news this afternoon from Public Radio Internantional’s extended 4 pm to 7 pm news broadcast featured a lead story of accusations that staff members of a large downtown New Orleans hospital were possibly guilty, or at least suspected, of employing euthansia to quietly “put down” patients too ill to be worth the risk of moving to a safer location.
For their part, unidentified sources, presumably pro-medical establishment. have hotly denied all this, saying, in effect, that *not a single live patient *
was left behind, or some such a thing.The uncanny thing about this particular story is that it seems right out of the Catholic novel, Lord of the World, pubished in 1907, which is set, like The Left Behind Series, in some futuristic end of time era.
In Lord of the World, there’s a macabre medical organization, a sort of “Flying Euthanasia Corps,” so when there’s a mass air disaster with one of the monstrous passenger flying machines, or whatever they were called by imaginative futuristic Catholic novelists in 1907, any unlucky survivors are quickly and neatly dispatched at the accident site itself.
Just an idea!
