If they were bumping off 11% of any other population group, there would be a large public outcry. Well, maybe not. Look how the Germans reacted when the Nazis progressed to killing Jews. Hardly a peep.

Frequently detractors visit to repeat those tired words, "MoveOn," or "Quit beating a dead horse," "It is all over, give it a rest."

BykrBayb found some stunning statistics to show us all how important it is that we persevere in tracking those atrocities. Her post is just above at #1,689, the statistics on how often the atrocities occur.

An excerpt...

This doesn't represent a percentage of patients who died (which would be bad enough). It doesn't mean that 11.4% of the patients who died were starved and dehydrated. It means 11.4% of the living patients were killed this way. This is a percentage of all severely cognitively impaired residents. And it doesn't include the ones who were killed using other methods.

The term used for these statistics is, "Orders to forego Artificial hydration and nutrition..." Isn't that a nice term for murdering old, helpless patients?

I do NOT believe that these people, thousands of them, give informed consent to this agonizing death. Somebody else is giving the "orders." The obvious question is, who profits by it? Hospitals do, by reducing costs. Families do too, for the same reason, and because sometimes they stand to inherit by snuffing grandpa.

The statistics say that about 22% of cognitively impaired patients have feeding tubes. 11+% are dehydrated/starved to death. Depending on how they are using these figures, that means that patients with a feeding tube will be murdered in about one-third of the cases or possibly one half of the cases. In the hands of lawyers, the PEG tube has become a leading murder weapon!
