An end-of-life order is any order given by you to your doctor concerning your treatment. It's not a term from the bill, but one I've heard before. It covers everything from a DNR to a living will that says, "Keep me alive as long as possible by any means possible."

I'd suggezst taking this list with a grain of salt. Ive read the section about these orders, and though it's quite unconstitutional it doesn't give anyone in government "a say in how ur life ends."

I knew someone who went from well to dead in 3 weeks on an end of life order. Elderly yes, but had been in good health, was a retiree on a full pension, son of a Dr and father of 2 more. Morphine & dehydration.

Great hospice care center, but the result was that he was killed. It was terrible. Absolutely terrible. I was horrified. And this was how important the Terri case was to what is going on now. See Soros’ Project on Death in America:

Get yourselves a Will to Live document and never reveal if you know someone, especially elderly, with a ‘living will.’

Apologies if you are already familiar with this.

It appears you are correct. If you read just the lines he states then you can easily be misled:
