This thread is about the DELIBERATE KILLING of human beings. What are your feelings on that.

This thread is about a bunch of whining hypocrites with very little knowledge of the healthcare system arguing about things that they don't understand, hypocrites who think that turning off a ventilator or withholding dialysis or IV fluids on terminally ill patients is assisted suicide. You trying to argue about this with me would be like me trying to argue about black holes with Stephen Hawking. It's just a waste of time. good day.

God said, *Thou shalt not murder*.

If you participate in killing someone, no matter how you try to disguise it with semantics, you are guilty of murder.

Talk to Him about it and see if He’ll accpet your reasoning.

How ironic that you use Hawking in your argument.

I sure wouldn’t want to be in your shoes on Judgment Day.....

You couldn't possibly be more wrong.

hypocrites who think that turning off a ventilator or withholding dialysis or IV fluids on terminally ill patients is assisted suicide.

NOBODY on this thread has suggested that turning off a ventilator is wrong if the patient is okay with it.

YOU are the one who introduced the absurd idea that there was a shortage of ventilators, only to backpeddle when asked for specifics. You have tried to portray yourself as some sort of expert, but NOTHING you have posted indicates that you actually know what you are talking about.

As far as removing an IV to dehydrate a person to death, you're right that's not assisted suicide, it's MURDER.

You trying to argue about this with me would be like me trying to argue about black holes with Stephen Hawking.

Talk about irony, people like you would have killed Stephen Hawking decades ago.

You're deliberately muddying the waters here, Nurse Ratched. There's a world of difference between withdrawing dialysis or stopping a vent when its futile, and dehydrating a patient to death.

Yet you seem to lump them together, which tells us everything we need to know.

(By the way, I have plenty of knowledge of the healthcare system, and I've sat on several hospital medical ethics committees. So you can dispense with the patronizing arrogant BS.)
