Euthanasia is suicide by government. Okay? All right. So why are people dying? Well, a lot of them, as you can see, most is actually from cancer. Now, what's interesting about cancer is that it's the most expensive disease to treat. Right? Well, that's interesting. And a lot of cancer, it's not, it's not, it's pretty painful, but it's not terminal. You can still live with cancer. Right? So it seems as though people with cancer are being encouraged to die because, you know, because they're a burden on the system, which means who's dying? Who's dying here? It's poor people who are dying. This is pretty obvious. And this is even more interesting. Okay? This is the most disgusting part.
