A bill allowing the starvation and dehydration of dementia and mentally ill patients against their will passed the Oregon Senate 17-13 on June 8.

SB494 would remove safeguards in Oregon law that protect the right of patients to receive food and water as part of basic treatment. It would give healthcare representatives power to potentially coerce doctors into starving patients against their will.

Only if a medicaid patient can be replaced with a higher paying private pay or privately insured patient.

They want to keep the beds full.

Be wary of the pain medications, they use these to keep people unconscious while they dehydrate to death.

People like to argue with me, when I refer to Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts and Connecticut as communist states. Of course there’s otothers.

It’s the logical continuation and result of legalized abortion.

Parents kill their kids. Now kids kill their parents.

If you can’t even define what a human being is ( and the Roe Supreme Court said they couldn’t) you can’t define a human right, like, the right to not be starved/dehydrated to death by your “carergivers”.

I too am not being sarcastic, but if it’s that bad have you considered an alternative?

It’s called MOVING to another State.

Disgusting. Hope their Volcano goes off, and the BIG quake hits them. Hope all those that voted for this burn in Hell.

If you cannot control your own death, you are not free.

I have heard of two people who died in nursing homes when they had just enough money left for a funeral. One of them was given a nice party the night before she died.

These people think they are being humane by deciding when people should die. I’m sure they pat themselves on the back for saving the family or the state from having to pay for the funeral.

Yeah, I’m guessing these legislators are all in their 30’s.

We should require them to all put their parents down as a show of good faith.

“There are no 4th, 5th, 8th or 14th Amendment issues with this case.”

In case you have not noticed in your 21 months on Free Republic, this is a pro-life, pro-family, pro-conservative forum.

Playing devil’s advocate to promote euthanasia is the kind of post that belongs on DU, not here.
