Yes.....we ARE BEHIND the TIMES.
Thank you for such a clear and frightening explanation.
I am begining to see Hospice in an entirely different light.
By way of example, I used to support Planned Parenthood, years ago, but as I learned about its agenda, about its foundations and about the people running it, I became infuriated at the LIES used to cover INTENT.
Hospice is the perfect place to pursue euthanasia because since many of us have had genuinely terminal family members aided by this group, MANY see Terri and others, who are NOT TERMINALLY ILL IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM, as in the same condition.
The starvation and dehydration is pure Hospice ...that is THEIR STYLE of DEATH.
Their foundation states that it is to be used ONLY with those who are in end stage of terminal illness.
These people have LONG SINCE lost interest in eating.
Terri gets HUNGRY.
She is FED.
She digests her FOOD.
And enjoys drink. Fluid. GETS THIRSTY.
How could ANYONE KILL a person who EATS AND DRINKS and LAUGHS WITH HER FATHER AND LIGHTS UP WHEN HER MOM WALKS INTO THE ROOM? HOW COULD ANYONE PUT TO DEATH A WOMAN WHO CLOSES HER EYES WHEN HER PRIEST SAYS, "TERRI, let's pray together!"
How do you STARVE a person who is HEALTHY and NOT CALL IT MURDER?
A coworker of mine told me the entire story of her mother's killing with dehydration. The first step was her mother being admitted to the hospital for not eating and drinking enough. The coworker was surprised when the mother had not been sent home after being rehydrated, as had happened in the past.
She was there when a woman walked into the room after 3 days and introduced herself as a hospice worker. She gave my coworker a handout about dementia/Alzheimers.
It said that even though the mother was completely aware and cognizant, no coma or brain damage at all, she was not eating/drinking enough because she had Alzheimers.
So they agreed to dehydrate her. I chose to listen to the entire week of symptoms and progression, which I will spare you.
But I thought the entrance of the hospice worker was interesting. It sounds like it is already a well-oiled machine to me.
Republic, thank you for an excellent post. You made it so clear. You are right; the idea is to use the impression people have of Hospice to label someone as deserving of death by starvation and dehydration, then later, as someone has pointed out, by lethal injection when people start objecting to the cruelty of the former. And MerMama did great, too.
You just say this is the democratic process at work! Well, it may not be democracy, but those who favor this murder consider themselves "men of the people."
