Are you being targeted for euthanasia? (Schiavo case only the tip of the iceberg!)

This rings COMPLETELY true, from stories my niece has told after working in nursing homes, and from stories my sister-in-law has told (she was an RN).

On the other hand, many Americans live in fear that at the end of their lives they will fall into the hands of the medical establishment and be subjected to months of painful and humiliating procedures that serve no purpose except to delay the inevitable. This fear drives some to consider suicide -- a desperate and, in my view, immoral solution.
I agree that the living will is a double-edged sword. There is no substitute for a health care proxy who has some knowledge of medicine and a loud, decisive voice.
Since most don't have this, we need a lot more discussion of these issues. While the debate should be value-driven, I hope that it can be somewhat less overheated than what we've seen over the past week.

I think that when people enter a hospice it is a place that assisted means of life support are not appropriate. I am appalled that Terri is not receiving water...as a matter of fact I am appalled at many aspects of the Terri case.

But In my opinion, when you are hospiced, no tube feedings. Hospice is about dying, comfortably, naturally, and pain free.

When people ask me why I opposed Hillary!'s plan to nationalize healtcare, I told them it was because the nationalized system was going to kill me and everybody I love before their time. Once the state is responsible for the costs, it will exercise every compulsive power available to limit costs. Primary among these is euthanasia.

My own grandfather was targeted for euthanasia just a month ago by a hospital in Florida, because he had a problem of medium severity and was 89 years old. He's alive and well on the road to recovery now only because many members of my family went down there and watched the medical staff like a hawk.

Exactly.

Excellent article!!! SO so true!! You have to watch "all those loving care providers" every second and make sure what they are shoving in those IVs to keep your family members quiet, keep them from making more work for the staff, it's a lot of work for them to get up off their lazy arses from their nurses stations. They love shoving that morphine in the IVS no matter how old the patient is. You must also keep your own record of administration, right it down, cause nurses will make mistakes, screw up, not chart it, double up during shift changes!!! It happens all the time!!! They administer so much stuff that people do not even need. They will be furious at you for arguing but tuff toenails!!! They don't want family there, will tell you kindly you need rest, to go home, take shower, you need a rest also, bla bla bla, don't listen, they want you to get lost!

The Anti euthanasia Organization is the article is Excellent. We recd the paper work from them years ago and toke it to our lawyer. She was not thrilled to deal with this stuff, not what she was use to seeing, she was a wee bit indignant that we were giving her papers she was not familiar with, etc., (thats lawyers) hey ... just do it.

Why? I'm an RN, too. I haven't worked in the US in 19 years, but when I did, I saw some very suspicious deaths. I didn't like working on the patient floors because you couldn't question doctor's orders without coming under suspicion yourself. I preferred the ER and OR, as it was a lot easier to say that professional care was given to the best of their ability. I saw a lot of doctors cry when they lost a patient in the ER or OR. On the floor, when you needed to question an order, it was nearly impossible to reach them until it was too late. I was uncomfortable with some doctor's orders way back then, before euthenasia was talked about much. This comes as no surprise. I was shocked when 2 years after I graduated nursing school, abortion became legal, and about 50% of nurses raced to embrace it. It was the beginnning of the slippery slope to perdition then. Where are we now? About due for a judgment, if you ask me.

Bump for a later read.

Thank You for posting this. I am sending the link to all my family. There is a Spiritual reason for all this. The unwillingness to suffer, is rebellion against God and a refusal to take whatever vicissitudes life may deal out. A determination to be our own "gods" is running this ugly scenario. Only a Spiritual revival, with true national (individual) repentance, and submission to the will of God who so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever should believe on Him would not perish,but have eternal life, will bring about change. I believe in the miraculous move of God if enough people are praying for change. Right now, it doesn't look good...................

Solution - Only allow medical care for accident/trauma victims. Outlaw all other forms of medical treatment, stop the treatment of disease, let nature run its' course. Improve the gene pool.

My wife (RN) was fired from a Catholic hospital for refusing to overmedicate a patient. She has been in many rooms of dying people wanting a drink of water and being refused because of an NPO (nothing by mouth order) from the doctor.

This article rings absolutely true.

Once again we see the work of George $oro$ in the Eugenics of America or as he has labeled it. %oro$ has invested $45 million $'s with the MSM, liberals and some who call themselves conservatives to push the Dying is beautiful mantras: "Project on Death In America".

You nailed it right on the head. And the socialized health care system already is in place for the elderly, so what you fear already exists for those on medicare.

About due for a judgment, if you ask me.

Mark my words: When the WWII generation passes away, judgement on America will be executed.

By whom or how, I have no idea...but deep down I know it will come. The blood of the 45,000,000 aborted children cries out.

Family rule #7: No one stays alone in a hospital ever.

Because medical personnel do exactly what is described in the article, making decisions that are not theirs to make, many of them completely subconscious and oblivious to the bias in their own world view.

Others do so knowing full well, and you can't easily tell the merely oblivious from the completely evil.

Family rule #7: No one stays alone in a hospital ever.

Just like in Holland. My sister-in-law is Dutch background (parents came over in the 50s) and her Dutch cousins were there in the hospital in Holland 24x7 with their grandmother; otherwise bad things would happen.

It's an article about her experiences, not a research paper. Your experiences were different - there are indeed many excellent hospitals where the elderly or incapacitated receive wonderful care. I don't think she was saying all hospitals are bad. But I think it's undeniable that euthanasia of one kind or another has become more acceptable, particularly when you examine the trends of thought among the young, including young doctors and nurses.

This is an excellent article with good resources. Thanks for posting it. I have already written for my PMDD and will encourage family and friends to do so, too.
