          Hmm, the way I read the text it was Hendrik doing the underlining by pointing out the inhumanity of it all… I guess what’s meant is that he is the example that underlines the inhumanity of it all. Okay :)

            I guess that could be misinterpreted, but yeah, that sentence means that he is putting special attention on those measures, and doubling down on it by proposing even harsher measures.

            In a paragraph below you have it clearer:

            Speaking to the right-wing broadcaster Welt TV, he raised the question of whether elderly people should still be prescribed expensive medication. He said there are “phases in life when certain medications should no longer be used.” He cited the example of a 100-year-old man suffering from cancer and asked, “Do we really want to use these expensive drugs” in such a case?

            You see that he is clearly advocating pro those inhumane changes.
