Oregon Senate Votes To Allow Dementia Patients To Be Starved To Death
Technocracy.News ^ | June 16, 2017 | CLAIRE CHRETIEN

A bill allowing the starvation and dehydration of dementia and mentally ill patients against their will passed the Oregon Senate 17-13 on June 8.

SB494 would remove safeguards in Oregon law that protect the right of patients to receive food and water as part of basic treatment. It would give healthcare representatives power to potentially coerce doctors into starving patients against their will.

Eternal damnation for promoters of this bill.

My dad was the greatest dad EVER, a self made success like Trump, a Holocaust survivor, a Korean War vet, a patriotric American, a funny guy who loved his family.

One of my prayers as he neared the end of his Alzheimer’s path, seriously one of my PRAYERS, was that he wouldn’t lose the ability to swallow at all, because those patients do end up starving and thirsting to death. That someone wants everyone to die this way makes me furious.

Wow, that is a frightening experience you had, but one about which all seniors need to know.

Isn’t that just like an Oregonian: always advocating death for others!

If you believe Hospice, being dehydrated is pleasant.

We relocated to northern Michigan from the left coast and have been very happy here.

Hospice gives me the chills too. What I didn’t realize until recently is that once you sign the papers with hospice, they will not help you to stay alive. You will only get treatment to keep you comfortable.

Sorry about your experience. Go ahead and get your knee replaced. But go to a different doctor that this one you experienced.

God bless you in your trip.

Sending you a FReepmail.

Ditto to your remarks on hospice. After seeing what happened with my husband who died from lung cancer over 39 years ago — I would never recommend hospice to anyone.

And I don’t want it either. I will deal with the pain when that time of my life comes.

It would give healthcare representatives power to potentially coerce doctors into starving patients against their will.

That is happening right now in England. Recently a baby with a mitochondrial problem is refused the chance to come to the US for treatment. The hospital wants to shut off everything and let him die and the parents have no say, even though an donor is willing to cough up what equals 2 million dollars to help him get the experimental treatment.

(Has anyone heard any more about that case?)

I have friend in London who told me that whomever the hospital regards as needing to die they put them in a back room and leave them there with no food or water or care, especially if the person to be starved has no one to speak up for them. He told me this three years ago, and from the issue of the little baby above it sounds like they are also working to exterminate even those who have people speaking up for them.

Hitler and the Nazi doctors would be so proud.

Watch out, the nurses will med ‘uncoorperative’ patients with xanex.

You're kidding, right?

People in US nursing homes have been "prescribing" Haldol and other drugs far worse than Xanex for decades. Ten years ago, we had to bring a suit to have my nearly 100 year old aunt removed from a nursing home that repeatedly prescribed antipsychotic medications -- including Haldol -- over our objections and despite the fact that she had no history of either dementia or psychotic illness.

She was a feisty old lady, who developed a reputation with the staff for being "difficult." So they started drugging her. Every time we reviewed her medication, we discovered they were giving her antipsychotic meds. Every time we objected, they temporarily took her off the regimen, only to resume "treatment" when they thought we weren't paying attention. This practice is not uncommon. They want the folks under their care to be docile and easily led, and many of them have no relatives, or social workers, or even health care professionals who will advocate on their behalves.

The logic follows this track: If the Holy Triune God does not exist, as evolutionary humanists claim, then human beings are nothing but dehumanized products of evolution worth less than nothing. Furthermore, without the one true God, there is no absolute commandment against murder, no eternity in hell to fear, thus no reason not to be evil. This is where we are as a society and why your fears are grounded in reality.

A dite younger here. Had bronchitis with first time asthmatic symptoms. Went to my doc’s group where they sent me home with a po2 of 89. I had the distinct feeling that they were not going to get me anything more than the treatment I had.

I picked a po2 monitor and am in the market for a small portable 02 concentrator to have on had if needed. I have no respiratory issues the bronchitis was something that I caught on the job in healthcare. I just want the equipment on hand. We will have to provide our own care.

Anyone have an o2 concentrator for sale?

Get out of Oregon.

BTW this is the group I have worked with for over 36 years in Maine with a great reputation.

I can no longer trust them and do not know where to turn.
