The only sad part about Dr. Kevorkian dying was that people were unable to redeem all of his signature gift certificates their relatives gave them. Kind of like getting stuck with a Circuit City gift card.
Sounds like a job for Fentanyl.
IOW, translated, Oregon to now allow anyone to kill another with impunity and claim they requested *euthanasia*.
The psychopaths in the state must be besides themselves with joy.

Those grifters have got to do a cost-benefit analysis first. Is it worth their time to make a fuss?

Are TDS patients included?
It starts with doctors, then nurse practitioners, then pharmacists.
Before long it will be the ear piercing lady at Claire’s in the mall.

It’s called murder!, just like abortion.

Thes are the names of people on the Judiciary committee listed as the general sponsor of the bill.
I fail to see how this statute meets the 5th Amendment due process standard.
A good friend's father was hospitalized a few years ago with a heart attack and hooked up to machines. The attending doctor didn't think the old man would make it.
My friend, respecting Dad's wishes to not be on machines, signed a paper approving the de-machining and putting the Dad on "comfort care" which (IN GENERAL) is basically no curative care.
That was ok - that was the Dad's wishes.
The old man pulled through, but the hospital refused to put Dad back on fluids or nutrition because - you guessed it - "comfort care" IN THAT HOSPITAL and for THAT DOCTOR is effectively Terri Schaivo-style starvation and dehydration.
They said, food and water was a medical treatment and thus "curative" and AGAINST the rules of "comfort care."
My friend was stunned. And the attending and her team wouldn't budge - ”you signed the document giving consent.”
For the next few days, my friend and siblings heard from scores of nurses etc that withholding fluids was effectively "the right thing to do"....very Terri Schaivo-like. They also threw in “Dad live a good long life” and “he will never come back the way he was.”
It took a virtual miracle whereby a different doctor intervened, said the father clearly wasn't terminal, and put the old man back on nutrition and fluids.
While my friend's Dad passed away peacefully in his sleep a few weeks later, it was on the Dad’s terms.
It’s also worth noting that the siblings were split on “comfort care.” There WAS a view that it was ok for Dad to dehydrate to death. Someone even said that dehydration is painless; I hear the total opposite during the Schaivo murder.
Euthanasia is, technically, illegal. And I know many people would be OK if fluids were withheld when it is THEIR time to go. Fair enough.
What’s happening in Oregon is worth monitoring. But euthanasia can be made legal if you're not careful with the Fine Print or vetting the "mercy killing" mindset of the attending.
I had almost the same thing happen with my dad. Hospitals, like any institution, are not reasoning, compassionate places. They’re run by processes and procedures, not logic or reason.
My sweetheart came out of surgery in a state of delirium. He couldn’t eat due to injury in the face & throat area. It was during covid & they couldn’t find a skilled nursing facility who would take him. One doctor said I should consider removing his food & letting him die that way. This was in Utah. I was pretty shocked by that. The local hospice group agreed to treat him as a home health patient & I brought him home. But he did pass within a week. The coroner couldn’t figure out what to put on the death certificate. Finally put ‘failure to thrive.’ Dealing with these issues is definitely not fun. But our medical community seems to think it’s best to shuffle everyone off this mortal coil. I wonder why they decided to become doctors.
Good old Nazi Dems. Getting rid of the “useless eaters”. SMH.
He professes a "wide stance". What an embarrassing end to a legislative career.
Will get real dicey prosecuting some murders .... I was just assisting their assisted suicide officer.
Don’t worry about it. It will be a nice state once they kill themselves off.
