Chapter 21 of this book, titled "The Unspoken Argument,"advocates the economic benefits of euthanasia, as follows:"Similarto other social issues, the right-to-die movement has not arisen separateand distinct from other concurrent developments of our time.In attemptingto answer the question Why Now?, one must look at the realities of theincreasing cost of health care in an aging society, because in the finalanalysis, economics, not the quest for broadened individual liberties orincreased autonomy, will drive assisted suicide to the plateau ofacceptable practice."
