    I'm not talking about dying, I'm talking about living. And what is the bolded part supposed to mean? Is it natural if more than 100 workers die because a poorly maintained sweatshop in Bangladesh burned down? If the "organism" can't offer social justice then it better died (re: evolution).

    Your opinion is, in essence, an appeal to personal fear; and motivated by personal fear.

    We are talking about disabled people being kept alive by the government instead of dying.

    That the forces of natural selection are responsible for their death rather than some socially / politically motivated killing

    If you owned a factory, why would you want it to burn down? It's to the advantage of the owners and the entire society that factories aren't burning down.

    Isn't your entire point that a disabled person is incapable of learning to fish for themselves, so the government should be obligated to take care of them? How on earth are you teaching disabled people to fish by giving them government hand outs? If anything you are taking the fishing pole out of their hands.
