There’s a URL already on this thread about a society in Nederland that issues the ‘wristbands’ to their members to verify they are not in the hospital to be put to death. You should read the article.
Exactly. Just like patients in hospitals here, even hospice, are given wrist bands for DNR/DR. Many of them are, at best, confused; otherwise demented, in advanced Alzheimer’s, or totally physically disabled, with no speech.
To make this somehow into an issue where every old person in a hospital in the Netherlands has to protect themselves with a wrist band, lest they be destroyed by the roving kill-the-old-people machine is really abhorrent. If the culture and the physicians are so eager to, illegally and otherwise, put old people to death, which is the picture being painted, a little wrist band is not going to stop them...
