Welcome to Brave New World (in reference to the cast system we already have, even if not yet genetically engineered.).
Involuntary manslaughter sounds good to me.
On a related note, productivity here has to be at a break-neck speed. Just about every ad says "fast-paced," "high pressure." WTF? A job that kills you? So, not just made as cheaply as possible, but FAST. Work hard and fast, but not get a living wage or benefits.
Products or services are fast now. Examples: Nail polish that dries in 1 minute! Oil change in 10 minutes, without getting out of your car! Coffee brews in 30 seconds! Jeez, I'm not in that much of a hurry. I picked up some chicken at the deli yesterday. The guy said they have it pre-packaged as well, for people who don't want to wait. I told him I'm not in that much of a rush!! Heck, there was nobody in line ahead of me, and it took literally only seconds longer!
