This totally dystopian movie is set in a world beset by shortages and environmental degradation, where people's corpuses are are recycled into food. Seeing no way out, Sol turns himself to the local euthanasia center.

Is it humanitarian empathy, or a nihilistic death cult that desires a legal rationale for population control?  The legislative push for government assisted euthanasia in the western world is one of the most guarded topics in establishment media.  Nothing negative or critical can be said and all concerns are dismissed as "conspiracy theory".  The government run suicide apparatus is a pure and loving function of progressive society…and how dare you suggest otherwise.

This month officials in England, Wales and Scotland will be considering legislation to legalize government assisted euthanasia (End Of Life bills), with laws similar to those passed in Canada in 2016.

Are over 18, live in England or Wales, and have been registered with a GP for at least 12 months.   

Have the mental capacity to make the choice and be deemed to have expressed a clear, settled and informed wish, free  from coercion or pressure.    

Be expected to die within six months.    

Make two separate declarations, witnessed and signed, about their wish to die.  

Satisfy two independent doctors that they are eligible with at least seven days between each assessment.

This type of legalized suicide should be treated as distinct from the "physician assisted suicide" made available in the US in ten different states.  There is a stark difference between an individual going out on their own to seek a doctor to help them commit suicide while suffering a terminal condition, versus the government actively encouraging the public to commit suicide and helping them do it using your tax dollars.

There is plenty of room for debate in both cases, but without a doubt no government should be in the business of mass euthanizing the population.  There is far too much temptation for the practice to be expanded beyond people who are already dying.

Case in point: Canada's euthanasia system has been in place for less than a decade and already the government is expanding suicide guidelines for people simply in need of treatment as well as people with mental health issues.  This is well beyond the scope of terminal illness.
