This sounds very much like what is happening to Terri Shiavo. He refused to complete/sign an advanced directive so they used statements from others to remove his feeding tube. Why wouldn't the refusal to provide an advanced directive be enough????

Lots more victims will befall the same fate as Terri....and the libs love it! Hey, if they can't vote, kill em!

So, even if I am on a respirator say, and somehow it gets pulled and I manage to live anyway,,my family can have me killed by withholding 'medical intervention' - the newly created buzzwords for food and water....

I never knew food and water were medical care items.....simple room air is next I suppose,,how about light? Or sensory deprivation? Why not? Where does it stop?

The US has become a cold, heartless place and it seems there is quite a majority out there that is quite proud of that......hey, but we're following the law dontchya know!

so get laws changed.

Take personal responsibility and update that will.

Tell more than your spouse what your wishes are.

But - stop asking the courts to legislate from the bench after the fact.

Medical murder just like Terri Schiavo’s is repeated on other patients EVERY day in medical facilities across America.

A friend who has worked in "Catholic" hospitals for 25+ years came over for diner recently. He told us the HOSPICE associated with his "Catholic" hospital constantly MURDERS aka euthanizes patients this way: remove all food, hydration, treatment, and pump w morphine. Dead within a couple days to 2 weeks. He questioned all in charge and they said "it's the patient’s right - and besides HOSPICE is a separate company so "Catholic" hospital is not responsible." He says it's rampant nationwide.

I asked him about the Netherlands story (euthanizing babies) which has been out a while. He said US hospitals have been MURDERERING aka euthanizing babies for years. He has no concrete numbers but guesses it's in the thousands per year in the US.

Two websites to chew on:

There are many others.

For the record, I am Catholic and I love my Church. There are those in authority within the Catholic Church allowing this at "Catholic" institutions; and I believe that it is at least as bad, probably worse at completely secular ones.
