Abstract

In most circles the worth of a man is gauged by his ability to produce and by the market value of his creations. Americans, reared in a competitive world of rugged individualism and private enterprise, subscribe to such a categorization as quite valid. Today's new breed dashes wildly from one competitive activity to another, from one round of entertainment to another, and if there are any unscheduled minutes in the day, their one gnawing question is: "What can we DO?" The practice of euthanasia still finds avid supporters who contend it to be an act of kindness and mercy to painlessly help the older generation who have outlived their ability to PRODUCE make their silent exit from beds of pain to some vague, blissful hereafter. And what is to be said of those middle years when a man must make his mark or be forever relegated to that lower class? These are the years that a man must PRODUCE to capacity to lay up stores for the time when he can no longer gather his own harvest.
