I know how we can call these liberal elites on their ‘compassion’... lets recommend the same system of starvation be used on death row inmates...

The New York Times won’t be able to stop screaming ‘cruel and unusual’... It’ll be funny to watch - a true ‘popcorn’ moment.

They already cause patients to lose their appetite and then starve and dehydrate them to death. All they have to do is give them medication that causes them to be in such a stupor that they can't eat. The drugs have terrible side effects also. The patient then is starved and dehydrated to death “for their own good”. It happens all the time, especially if they can get doctors to sign that the patient likely has less then 6 months to live because of something as minor as a bladder infection.

Nobody often cares or doesn't understand what is happening to their love one as they trust the professionals. Then hospice takes over and they have financial motivation to have a base of patients that die very quickly to keep their average amount spent on their clients down. The government makes them spend an average amount on their patients. Some patients get to live for a long time and take little money for much of their hospice time. Others die quickly with cheap drugs, dehydration and starvation. Many hospice have it arrange so that they are making tons of government money with the least amount of expense. It's big, big business.

They are murdering all kinds of patients who cannot defend themselves. They are like sitting ducks and nobody will listen to them because they have alzhiemers, which is diagnosed almost automatically even when people have reasons that can be temporary for having mentally defective behavior such as electrolyte imbalacnce, temporary delirium caused by a temporary illness or many other causes. They are murdering dear people who enjoy life and want to live. Even if they didn't that isn't an excuse for murder.

My husband and I made our will recently. I startled the lawyer by requesting a clause specifically stating that I could *not* be deprived of food, water or sustenance. I think he thought I was crazy. I think *he* isn’t keeping up with trends.

I’m so sorry for your loss. :’(

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

I’m sorry for your loss.

The notion of starving these poor souls to death makes my heart ache.

[Gritty]

Wouldn’t it be more economical and quicker just to take them out back and shoot them?
