Your Anthony Trollope article was an interesting read. I think there are definitely undercurrents of thought these days that may echo similar sentiments, but of course are left unsaid because of how unpopular they are by default. With an economic crisis on everyone's mind, I suppose it is easier for these thoughts to slip out, as was the case of our aforementioned Baroness. ~Lisa Deborah, thank you for your insightful comment!

Re this: "The senile, says the baroness, "have a duty to die" - funnily enough, Anthony Trollope <a href="http://www.deborahteramischristian.com/writing/trollopes-science-fiction/" rel="nofollow">proposed a fix</a> for that in 1882, though his contemporaries were appalled at the concept of euthanizing the elderly. Interesting book. I agree with your rant, and wish more people could “hear” what their pets have to say, especially re whether they want to stay in the body or not.
