“Even more stringent benefit cuts are on the cards.” “Ministers are planning billions in cuts to disability benefits.” “the House of Lords economic affairs committee said this might not be enough.”
FFS just legalise euthanasia already. I’d rather get a quick injection than starve to death out on the streets. Even the Nazis were kinder to the disabled, gassing them to death quickly.
Some anthropologists say the first sign of civilization is a healed femur. Someone who breaks their femur needs assistance throughout the healing process and likely afterwards as it impedes their ability to care for themselves, gather food/water, etc. So an individual that shows signs of having broken their femur and lived long enough for it to heal must have had some sort of support/care network of friends/family.
I guess what I’m saying is that neolithic hunter-gatherers had a better sense of community and mutual care than the modern healthcare system
