A tragic irony in the name of "medical care".kennybigrighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12057343292727041264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-31350943254114803642021-10-12T17:49:19.994-04:002021-10-12T17:49:19.994-04:00Beautiful, there is no dignity in dying, there is ...Beautiful, there is no dignity in dying, there is only death. Dignity is in living. Lessening palliative care lessens dignity; for both, the patient and the caregiver. Redirecting palliative funding constitutes coercion to suicide.

No matter what safe guards they say they will do, don’t believe them. It hasn’t worked in other places, it hasn’t worked for us, and it won’t work for you. The slippery slope is real. This is the governments way of getting rid of “burdens”, has nothing to do with helping people.
