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,

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.

“As far as removing an IV to dehydrate a person to death, you’re right that’s not assisted suicide, it’s MURDER.”
It’s no different than withholding dialysis or a vent, no different at all. You are clueless, absolutely clueless. what if they have come to the point where giving them IV fluids will just overwhelm their kidneys (or their lungs or their heart) and cause them to need dialysis? What do you do then mr. ethics expert? you couldn’t possible be more clueless.
