While we're at it, let's forcibly euthanize senior citizens too so we don't have to spend money on Medicare. Nobody should be allowed to live unless they provide economic value to the 'collective'. May Day is the perfect time to launch such a policy.

Talk about jumping to ridiculous conclusions. The seniors have paid their dues for society. They are owed something by the government at that point. An 18 year old punk gangbanger isn't.

Also, to my pro-life defense, yes I think the father should have to give written consent if the mother wants an abortion. He may not want to marry her, but he may have the means she doesn't to raise the kid.

The only thing that's ridiculous is suggesting that a human being's value is based solely on his or her economic value. And you specifically mentioned costing $1M as a reason to kill someone. So why not be consistent if you're going with the utilitarian rationale? On the Minority Report end, why not kill a second or third grader with a high likelihood of growing up to be an undesirable? A 25 cent bullet is even cheaper than a $300 abortion. And even if a senior citizen paid dues in the past, at some point they might cost more than they produced. Shouldn't you save the money at some point, like if their net cost goes over that magic $1 million mark? It's the same amount out of the public coffers.
