Cannibal Britain

In relation to the finding that large numbers of adults see the streets as "infested" with children and pretty much think that all teenagers should be shot (did nobody notice children or teenagers when there were far more of them, or is the problem simply that there are still any at all despite all the efforts to prevent their conception and birth?), Martin Kelly writes:

"The United Kingdom is now a cannibal society. It kills its young in the womb, while those who should know better describe having children as a 'lifestyle choice'. It treats its born young like animals. It cannibalises its economy, selling off its assets for the greatest short term gain. Soon, it will start killing its old.

The price we have been willing to pay for our prosperity has been the cheapening of human life. When we have been willing to take that moral hyperleap, we have to ask ourselves whether we really have the right to call ourselves civilised any more.
"

Am I alone in feeling a connection between this and the calls for the organs of our dead to be compulsorily harvested?
