One who can’t contribute to society should be removed? Who defines such a one? Would Helen Keller or Beethoven be classified as non-contributors because they were blind or deaf? If such a mindset were to come into place (it sounds like Hitler already had one similiar to that in Germany – the elderly non-contributors were killed, as were various non-productive groups), everyone would live in fear that they would be killed. Such a society would be very efficient, but without heart. They would kill their own builders when an age of infirmity would come upon them. Also, what would constitute a contribution? Then how much must the minimum contribution be? Like a salesman who doesn’t make his quota, his life rather than his employment would be terminated. From a Christian point of view, our value comes from who we are, rather than what we produce. We are to produce as we are able. God gives life, which is the most valuable, and to prematurely terminate life would be to devalue this gift. It is in times of reflection and non-productive activity that the miracle and gift of life becomes apparent. Those who are obsessed with more production are too busy to see what a wonderful creation our Creator gave us.
