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... Most people find it disingenuous at best...And it is the kind of fables and fiction and images Santorum consistently deals with... and some people love it. Others realize it speaks of something fundamentally unsound in the candidate.

I posted two articles, from two recognized journals of medicine, overflowing with statistics and clinical research, you should read them... All science isn’t bad, even the science that doesn’t support one’s preconceived notions...

Maybe the wristband does stop them ~ most of them say it does ~ but going to another country would probably be more helpful.

BTW, the DNR (do not resusitate) is supposed to be volutary here ~ but apparently NOT THERE.

The 10% figure turns out to be very correct.

BTW, that should be a 0% figure ~
