If the people decide to institute death control by stopping
the suppression of influenza, who would be charged with murder?

Brainburned former alcoholics who display none of morals,
ethics, or good sense, and so can promote such a hideous
solution for a problem which is already solving itself
in remorseless fashion without such help, for starters.

Well, if a politican inpower does it, most likely nothing! If a
researcher does it, most likely the politicos will organize like Pol
Pot and eliminate the researchers! |

The question is mute, because in a free society, government cannot stop
the manufacture of a commodity that is in demand, and that
manufacturers may make a profit from. For support, I refer you to
http://www.dea.gov - you can slow their distribution, but drugs will
find a way to those that will pay for them.
Now, if you are REALLY serious in decreasing the life span, cut
Medicaid and Medicare. Both programs cost the taxpayer billions, and
extend life prolonging medical treatment to the elderly. Abolition of
these plans would force the elderly to afford their own medications at
open market prices, or die.
In addition, these billions could be funnelled into our Glorious
Leaders' war to secure more oil^H^H^H^H freedom for the people of Iraq,
thus killing MORE people. 2 for 1 bonus.

....And you are wrong. Vaccines do not provide most of their benefit to
the recipient, but to other people. So the demand from people who want
protection might not be enough to prevent an epidemic. |

When I was young we didn't have flu vaccines. Now all these old people,
who've had it easy all their lives are getting this shot.

You should be pleased. The shot does not give the boost to the immune system
that getting the flu does. Thus, you may be sick now, but you will have a
milder time of it next year.
If anyone disagrees with this concept, please speak up because I am
interested in hearing of possible flaws in my argument.

Do you agree we should allow the world population to
increase to 9 or 10 billion? Do you think that's fair
to future generations?

[/quote:628e33fa1d]
There is an old saying in economics - "One does not make a fortune
doing what's right".
IF someone had 100 billion to spend, would it be in his/her best
interest to STOP a vaccine, or INVEST in it, thereby getting a large
share of the profits? The rich don't get rich by just spending. They
spend to make more - that's how they get rich.

Influenza attacks primarily the elderly, PAST the age of typical
reproduction. How will denying the old medicine stop the increase in
population? Only mandated sterilization and child limits will truly
stop population growth - and even China couldn't successfully enforce
that.

[/quote:3f690f467d]
Nature will handle this population thing for us. The next step will be
uncontrolled horrible plagues, brought about by too many people packed
too closely. AIDS was just a shot across the bow, gentlemen. |

As opposed to what, machine-gunning the "excess"? Malthus
