But he said the issue was a difficult one because people today are less likely to think and talk about death thanks to advancements in modern medicine, which mean that people are living longer.
Society these days is much less familiar with death, he said, adding: Our great-grandparents and to some extent our grandparents grew up with people dying before the days of antibiotics.'
This ghoul is trying to say that even antibiotics should be denied when a death panel deems a person's "quality of life" is too low.

First, dying isn’t an ‘act’; and second isn’t the moral thing to do to take each person’s case on its own merits?

Exactly...and so when it’s your turn Dr. Beattie, no whining. We are just going to kick the plug out of the wall. You get to take the medicine you prescribe for others princess.

I have a friend who is English and lives in London. He said that it is a well-known fact that if you are sick and have no advocate speaking for you and you are very sick, chances are you will be shuttled to a far corner of the hospital and left to die without food, water or pain medication.
And he said it happens all the time. So, anyone who wants to live makes sure they either get someone who can yell at the doctor and the nurses for them when they can't or they work to get private care.

antibiotics should be denied when a death panel deems a person's "quality of life" is too low. ....and people mocked Sarah Palin when she was prescient enough to see this coming.....

That is a classic scene with Edward G Robinson. Unfortunately during the filming Mr. Robinson had cancer.

When my Dutch friends mother was sick and elderly in Holland, her doctor refused to treat her. My friend went over there and took her to Germany for treatment but it was too late she died on the way.
European medicine, BARF!
