A right to die will immediately turn into a duty to do so. Those who refuse to snuff themselves will be seen as greedy on Healthcare and selfish.
Especially if there is money to be divied up.
Depraved.
The patient tried a number of different doctors' offices after the diagnosis, and kept getting shuffled around, waiting longer and longer to see this doctor or that one, each time avoiding oncologists that could actually prescribe a treatment plan.
He was told that his cancer had metastasized, and that he'd be given palliative care. (For those that don't know, that's sort of the oncologist's acknowledgement that the cancer can't be cured, but they'll try to make the patient's remaining days comfortable. Still, palliative care could potentially last years.)
In any case, they still have not begun treatment using an early generation platinum-based chemo. They recommended it in combination with a newer monoclonal antibody, but the state won't cover it, and the patient can't afford it.
The worst part is the mindset of the patient and the caregiver. They realize their situation is hopeless, and there's not much they can do. There's very few options for appeal, either. Sickening.
This is our future if Hillary becomes President.
Zeke Emmanuel (Obamacare architect) said that people who are no longer contributing to Society have a responsibility to die. What was the cut-off age he dictated? 70? 75?
This is how government solves Medicare and Social Security insolvency.
From the article: ‘Lawmakers in the Netherlands are considering a proposal to allow older people who don’t suffer from terminal illnesses, but feel they have “completed life,” access to aid in dying’
This is what happens when secular Governments take control. Those who believe life is sacred are pushed to the side and forced to live under secular laws. The Right-to-Die will soon become the Responsibility-to-Die. In this country too, if Hillary is elected.
Freepers!
When a loved one is hospitalized watch them constantly.
The new stealth euthanasia protocol is here.
Not enough oxygen, or water, or calories by IV or other means, Nov culture, just cheapest antibiotic for infection.
Weaken patients enough that they can’t heal or can’t respond to delayed treatment.
I have seen three hospitals do this and heard about 2 others.
Beware of foreign born hospitalists wanting to talk about quality of life.
The left wants elderly whites to die to make room for their replacements who bammy is bringing in.
