He had a DNR and the doctor instructed to withdraw everything except comfort. The family were not told this was a breathing depressant (morphine, pain medication) and they didn't want him to die. He had double pneumonia and did not want his breathing tube removed, but the r.t. ignored this information from the family. They knew the family did not "comprehend". I sued and couldn't get a jury trial for my case, being told I had to have expert reports before I could get a jury trial. This is unconstitutional and a violation of the rights of citizens to a jury trial and to life. <br /><br />I believe that there should be marches in our capital and our states that are along the line of pro-life marches so this information will become known. The bible says "my people perish for lack of knowledge". We are all held responsible by God for our actions. We should get some anti-euthanasia groups together in every state to actively fight against this progression that has maneuvered into society for decades. The slow erosion of our roots and principles must be acknowledged, known, and halted before its too late. The lives of the elderly are primarily at risk with the current practice of DNR with "comfort". The family are unaware of the implications of all the paperwork and legalities of this deception. This does not effect simply isolated persons, but all of society, potentially, when this becomes part of "healthcare" policy. Our courts should be the safeguard against such evils. We must speak out.<br /><br /><br />Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294959976781465327noreply@blogger.com
