This kind of news is shocking, before I draw any conclusions I want to
hear the "whole story" first.

The "whole story" was pretty well laid out in Helgaleena's OP two days ago in this link: Via the Concord Monitor. You could start by reading that. :rolleyes2:

Naturally, you are free to do further research on your own (I did) if you think the information was insufficient or the facts are in error. Feel free to bring any contradictory facts (or phacts) to the table when you're done.

Free speech has its consequences.
Exactly! "Personal responsibility" means more than just "fend for yourself, you damned freeloaders, because I don't want to pay taxes"; it means realizing that freedoms come with responsibilities: If you don't want the consequences, don't do the deed. In this case, advocating eugenics through euthanasia - even as a joke (as someone suggested) - is unacceptable for an elected official given the disasterous consequences of that exact policy when pursued with extreme enthusiasm by a certain loudmouthed politician with a funny moustache only about seventy years ago; the results of that were no laughing matter.
