Britain's Pathway to Euthanasia - NHS Protocols for Dehydrating Disabled Patients to Death

LifeSiteNews ^ | 4/3/08 | Hilary White

Elspeth Chowdharay Best, from the anti-euthanasia group ALERT, wrote recently, "Death by dehydration has been occurring for some years in Britain without the new official blessing [of the Liverpool Care Pathway protocol] and sometimes challenged by relatives."

And the culture of death marches on.

It would be a lot more honest if NHS were to just haul the patients outside, shoot them in the back of the head, charge the family for the bullet and harvest the organs. No more or less immoral, just more honest.

[djsherin]

Ain’t it the truth. They would charge for the bullet... and the cleanup too. And then offer you free counseling, which of course wouldn’t be available for 3 years.

National Health == Medical Rationing

“..charge the family for the bullet..”

Then it is not really “free” medical care.

[ConorMacNessa]

Note how quickly the so-called “right to die” is becoming a state or health-system imposed duty to die.

It would be a lot more honest if NHS were to just haul the patients outside, shoot them in the back of the head, charge the family for the bullet and harvest the organs. No more or less immoral, just more honest.

But that would deny the patients the euphoria they will feel as they dessicate!

Good Grief. Are they in Nazi, Germany?

As Baby Boomers approach old age they will find that their philosophy which sanctioned abortion at the beginning of life will do the same to them at the end.

[BeckB]

I think something similar to this is happening in hospitals in Beaumont,Tx right now. It is just unofficial.

Comming soon to Demoncrap-controlled healthcare near you.

-—Gives me the shivers: “bed blocking”, “scheduled to die”, my Gramma would have said “good gravy”! I thot “withdrawal of fluids” was the holding back of dietary liquids but it sounds like the Brits are just plain sucking the life out of people. Wouldn’t high altitude, un-pressurized, sight seeing flights be a little more efficient and easier to explain? The Euro socialists are nuts.

[Gene Eric]

>> “pathway” of “end of life” care

Sounds more like they’re throwing the infirmed on the highway to hell.

Excellent point!

They are already doing that here with our own “Hospice Care”. They tried that with my Father in his last days. They insisted it would be cruel and painful to give him any water. That he would be more “comfortable”. They kept on giving him massive doses of morphine and giving him sponges to suck on while he dehydrated to death. He had the uncontrollable Alzheimer’s which causes the body temperature to run wild. He lasted about a week.

I was able to get there in his last 2 days and was furious about what they were doing, but they had my Mother convinced and the 2 Hospice Nurses were there controlling the whole process. There was no time for me to get a court order and the Doctor told me to stay out of it.

So, believe it or not, it’s here also. (This happened in ‘95)
