Well at least you have a hobby for when you aren't working to kill innocent people by cutting of their life sustaining medical treatment against their will.
And I don’t “pull the plug.”
Just as with abortion, anyone who works to keep it legal is culpable with those who wield the weapon, be it a electric vacuum aspirator or the switch of a dialysis machine. Your guilt is equivalent.
Instead, my husband and I have dedicated our resources to pro-life activism and bioethics
If you and your husband falsely proclaim that defending a statute that allows the legalized removal of life sustaining medical care against a patient's wishes as being pro-life, than you are truly as duplicitous as you are murderous.
We never stop treating and caring for the patient. However, I must use my medical judgment to decide whether a technology or medication prolongs dying.
I will not write orders for treatments that cause pain, continual insertion of needles, suctioning by that wall vacuum you mentioned, catheterization of the bladder, disimpaction of the bowel, itching, collapsed lungs and broken ribs when a patient is dying - sometimes faster because of these treatments - any more than I would write orders to over sedate a patient with narcotics.
The safe guard is the review of the facts by the ethics committee, and the Medical Board and community scrutiny are backups.
The ill-advised attempts to change the law so that doctors could never bow out of the case, and which deliberately removed legal protection when the doctor refused to do what he or she believed harmful, risked making every case a legal judgment rather than medical. Emilio Gonzales’ mother lost guardianship of her son because her lawyer talked her into taking his case to court. His lungs collapsed repeatedly from the ventilator pressures, and yet she still was encouraged to fight for surgery for a tracheostomy, so that she could be political tool at her baby boy’s expense. And the judge ended up in charge of her son’s fate.
You may say anything on this forum, that is free speech and the purpose of this forum. However, that does not make it right, necessary or helpful. You are wrong on this point, just as you are wrong to make it personal.
I pray that the Lord will give you peace and wisdom.
