The culture of death hasn't forgotten what the Nazis did, they have embraced it.

I have always hated doctors and hospitals with a passion.....now maybe I realize why.
Sick bastards.
Anything the subject “bioethics” comes up. Fight it if you can. It’s caca.

Never trust a man who calls himself an “ethicist”. He is claiming that title in order to advance something unethical.

I wouldn’t worry about this too much.
When Obama care starts paying Doctors who are capable of doing Organ Transplants the same pay as Podiatrists who trim toenails , there arent going to be many transplants done. Also the transplants cost a lot of money and the death panels would only allow them for the very rich and Congressional politicians anyway.
“I wouldn’t worry about this too much.”
Well, a couple of Nazi quacks have stepped forward - publicly - and advocated killing folks for organs.
We aren’t that far removed from World War II and what we did to Nazi scum after the war.
Hang the SOBs.
But we need to wait until we can be certain those we kill belong to the wrong political party /s.
This, of course, begs the question of why, if human life isn't worth preserving, are organ transplants even considered?
Killing a patient who has lost all functional “abilities” and autonomy, “cannot disrespect her autonomy, because she has no autonomy left. It also cannot be unfair to kill her if it does her no harm.”
Most people consider the act of killing a very harmful act.
“Killing by itself is not morally wrong,” the authors said, “although it is still morally wrong to cause total disability.”
I can't wait to see this one trotted out by a murderer's defense lawyer. "Sure, he killed 12 people, but he should be acquitted because he didn't cause any of them to be disabled!"
In order to be consistent with “traditional medical ethics” the practice of organ transplants, already a multi-billion dollar international medical industry, would have to be stopped immediately. But stopping organ transplants on the mere grounds that it kills people, they said, would be “extremely harmful and unreasonable from an ethical point of view.”
It is because of ethics that I have always been against organ transplantation. I do not see how a desperately ill person can, in good conscience, actively hope for a healthy and vibrant person to die so that they can get their organ(s). If I were in that position, I wouldn't be able to justify such a desire. I have written on the back of my driver's license that I am not an organ donor.
“Here we are dealing with human beings, with our neighbours, brothers and sisters, the poor and invalids . . . unproductive - perhaps! But have they, therefore, lost the right to live? Have you or I the right to exist only because we are ‘productive’?”
The crux of the abortion movement has always been that the baby being killed has no intrinsic right to life because it, in fact, is useless--worse than useless, because not only is it not productive, it demands time and energy from another person, whose time and energy *could* be used productively if it weren't being expended on that baby. (And the message to the women having the abortions is just as clear: society has a right to throw them away, too, when they cease being productive.)
China does this to enemies of the State and criminals. China seems to be the elitists’ new ideal for “rule.”
“terminal” sedation can be an ethical treatment for those in terrible pain, because you are treating the pain, not giving it to kill someone. Pius XII said that giving large amounts of pain killers was ethical, even if it shortened life, when it was done to treat the patient’s pain.
However, terminal sedation where they keep increasing the amount until you die of overdose is killing, and so is giving huge amounts of narcotics to put non terminal patients in a coma (e.g. as an alternative for hip fracture).
I bring up hip fracture because when Obama’s grandmother had both cancer and a hip fracture, they fixed the fracture but she died soon afterward...but in the discussions about health care cost, he mentioned that maybe in the interest of cost control, they should have done an “alternative” treatment. Alternative treatment is let the hip heal itself (which we sometimes have to do) but is more painful for the patient)...or terminal sedation...
