promotes?????
Yes, “promotes”; by another name; increased usage of “deep sedation” WILL increase the incidence of death, they just won’t have to call it “euthanasia,” which is what it really is.
How’d ya like your insurance company to get your doctor to bump you off early just because they don’t want to pay to keep you around anymore? Maybe right after Christmas, after the grandkids go back home, they come in and stick a fork in ya, so ta speak. You get no say; you can’t physically resist, and pretty soon you’re drugged and taken under, never to return. It wasn’t how you thought you’d like to go; wasn’t what you thought would happen; wasn’t what you wanted to happen, but your opinion doesn’t count because the insurance company’s calling the shots, not you. they say, “You’re done,” and you are. And, “NO, you DON’T get to hang around until after the Rose Parade.”
The next morning, a rep from the insurance company calls up the trustee of your estate and says, “The meter’s run out. Come and get the corpse; after three days we bill $500 for each day we have to keep it.” Click.
So much for “death with dignity.”
As an aside, it’s no credit to your character to pretend you don’t grasp how this bill promotes euthanasia. If you read the article, the only remaining reasons behind asking that question are that you genuinely don’t grasp the connection, or you are feigning ignorance for duplicitous purposes.
A complete read of the article obviates the former, so what’s your excuse for the latter?
