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'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.)

That's how the culture of death loves to do it. In their minds there is no difference between removing a ventilator and a lethal injection of potassium chloride.

"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."

I haven't muddied the waters at all. This was my argument the whole time, that there comes a time when the battle is lost and it's time to die with dignity.

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

you seem to think that every situation is the same which tells me all I need to know about you. the injection of religion into this debate tells me more than I need to know about all of you.
