Is 1984 Our Future?

Do you like big brother?  If you think giving the government more power over is is a good idea, then I urge you to read this article:

My baby will be taken from me the moment it's born

The daughter of teachers and with a glittering academic future, Fran was delighted when she became pregnant. But social services discovered the illness she thought she'd put behind her - and will confiscate her daughter when she is born...

A 22 year-old mother to be in the UK is to have her child taken from her by the government immediately after birth.  Why?  Because in her teens she suffered trauma that for several years lead her to 'self-hurt' and to be diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.

Her own doctor says she's basically made a full recovery.  Yet the government thinks it's averting a potential tragedy.

I liken this story to the movie Minority Report, in which people are arrested before any crime is committed.

This is big government.

This is big brother.

The is our future if we're not careful.
