Who could have predicted this new trend .... all death requests are honored ... whether requested or not.
They put em down like dogs there.
Ping
I kinda figured that out when I read that you (the daughter) was holding the mom down as the doctor administered the drugs.
..... was given a sedative in her coffee and had to be restrained by her husband and daughter as the doctor injected her with the deadly drugs....
Have now read that line numerous times. Doubting it can be true
“Judge Renckens based her decision on a declaration the patient wrote four years before her death saying that she would rather be euthanized than placed in a nursing home with other patients who suffered from dementia.
According to the Dutch Euthanasia Review Committee, which reviews every euthanasia case, the woman wrote: “I want to be able to decide (when to die) while still in my senses and when I think the time is right.”
I still find this disturbing.
One step removed from killing relatively healthy individuals.
This is frightening.
This is what is wrong with abandoning the common law in favor of statutory law. What this doctor did is common law murder in the first degree.
Absolutely plausible. If someone is about to be killed, a sedative will do nothing. They will be alert and in survival mode. Also dementia is episodic. It is quite possible she didn't have dementia at that point but was lucid. The stress of someone trying to kill you can exacerbate dementia or trigger clinical anxiety and dementia or it could do the opposite.
If people want to die, I have absolutely no problem. I have seen that myself and there is no need to have a "doctor" with a syringe or a signed document or anything else. It is a natural process, not voluntary but not involuntary either.
Which part?
“Hey! there’s a geyser over there... GET ‘EM!!”
Time to start a make-up company over there. Everyone’s gonna be hiding their ages.
Don’t move to Europe
And for Gods sake, don’t have a daughter who wants you dead
Who here is lucky enough to NEVER have been in a state of mind due to physical illness or pain or just depression that may have made them sign on the dotted line, even if for a day??
And that’s all it would take.
Very dangerous.
So that passes as civilization to the Dutch! we call it murder around here ...
Holland is no place for old people.
