This may be a little OT but it is an example of where we are heading.

Some dialysis units routinely encourage families to stop dialysis of relatives if they encounter some injury or medical problem. At first glance this may actually seem altruistic but wait a minute. Here's what happens.

They don't really stop dialysis. They provide a kind of phoney dialysis where only the fluid is removed not the toxins.

They stiil go through the same procedure only it does nothing.

My question is, if you are willing to put this person through this procedure, why not do the real thing?.The answer is simple. They're too much trouble and it's not difficult to find someone available to fill the empty chair who is less trouble.

No money lost and you eliminate problem patients

Heading??? We're there!! We've known these 'shortcut measures' were being taken but, without any laws to protect the innocent, patients who wanted to die were given a little extra morphine ;->

Mark my words. Felos is seeing visions of grandeur now and will use both Michael and Terri to rake in his windfall. This case will be argued before SCOTUS. It will be a watershed moment in US history - the 'roe v wade' for the "pro-choice" crowd.
