"In this op-ed piece this POS doctor stated that " ALZHEIMERS patients in the later stages of their disease HAVE NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS."

"THen this B(ag)OS doctor, in the same article, stated that " PVS patients ALSO have NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS! "

Here's the piece. I don't see those words stated anywhere. Perhaps this isn't the same editorial. Do you have a link to where he says that?

Just read the article...........this HORROR assumes since the PVS 'problem is now settled (wonder what he meant by that in 1997?) we MUST move on to considering the snuffing of people with dementia and alzhiemers....like they do "in Europe"...HIS WORDS...not mine!

Catch this quote:

" This is a question families should feel free to answer for themselves -- without fearing intrusion from outsiders. And when you really think about it, the idea of placing a feeding tube in a patient with advanced Alzheimer's disease makes no sense at all, medically or morally. It borders on barbaric and cruel. "

my comment-----> { How is this CRUEL if the person is HUNGRY???? Wonder what Nancy REAGAN would have to saabout this POS's creepy, cold attitude toward the elderly! the jerk who LAID the foundation for Terri SCHINDLER to be MURDERED goes on in the article you linked to with this crap....read on folks....meet the euthanasists of our nation UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL..YOU WILL NOTICE they ALL MENTION MONEY or the COST of KEEPING someone comfortable and ALIVE, they will mention the POOR FAMILY members who must offer care, and they will BEMOAN the fact that such patients DO NOT DESERVE TO LIVE as they have no 'QUALITY OF LIFE' according to the euthanasists marvelous ability to read minds!!! OH YEAH...........READ ON....}

" It's just the kind of dehumanizing medical intervention that the public finds

so distasteful. It's the sort of practice that undermines confidence that doctors have the best interests of patients and families at heart. "

AD THIS IS THE SO CALLED DOCTOR THAT FELOS AND MICHAEL SCHIAVO USED TO DIAGNOSIS TO BREAK THE TIE BETWEEN MEDICAL DOCTORS>>>AND KILL TERRI!
