Brave New World, huh?

He just sits around and dreams this stuff up.

I can, off the top of my head, list any number of things that could go “wrong.” Also, the whole attitude is very wicked.

I don’t mind people letting things take a natural course. I draw the line at killing them.

What could go wrong?

Having spent a lot of time around dementia patients, many of them probably would have preferred getting out of it early. But most of them were not difficult and they were not in pain.

There are other conditions where punching your ticket sounds like an act of compassion. Dementia was harder on me than it was on them.

My beautiful mother, bless her heart, had Alzheimer’s and had to live in a locked facility because she “wandered.” She spent her days with another lady there walking around the large facility holding hands and jabbering to each other. Really a sad existence but at least she had a friend.

I would have had a serious hissy fit if they wanted to euthanize her.

[Qwapisking]

Will death panels be required because we were told there would never be death panels. Remember SOMEbody was laughed to scorn for saying that and now...here we are.

[boatbums]

Yeah! He was the first person I thought of, too.

[FlyingEagle]

Imprison this madman.

Conversely, Dementia Patients want to euthenize Philip Nitschke!

[TexasFreeper2009]

they need to euthanize TDS sufferers

[VideoDoctor]

This will CREATE "LAW SUIT CENTRAL!"

[HYPOCRACY]

Isn’t this the type of guy James Bond used to kill?

[so_real]

Euthanize them ... what? Maybe try weaning them off their statin drugs and supplementing them with red yeast rice, pterostilbene, vinpocetine, artemisinin, magnesium, and a quality probiotic first?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

What is with this insane desire to kill people?

[Bullish]

Wow, they’d have to euthanize half the Congress.

[shotgun]

The only other Nitschke I ever heard about used to try and euthanize quarterbacks and running backs.

Must be something in their genes.

[Tallguy]

Yes, there’s that.

[married21]

Sounds like Philip Nischke is demented.
