I do not agree with Euthanasia in any way, We do not have the right to take another persons life. God makes that very plain in his commandments. "Thou shalt not kill". As far as I am concerned it is the same thing.. You can say this is just another religious nut case , ignore her, but I am telling you that to pass this bill would be a direct violation of Gods laws.. You will pay the price for disobeying them..
What if death does not stop the pain? Have you ever thought of that?
When you say you support palliative care do you really mean foregoing all curative care? Doesn't palliative care also negate nutrition and hydration? And, what then is the definition of end-of=life? If one foregoes curative care during an illness wouldn't that automatically produce the end-of-life? Is it now acceptable to plan and control one's own death?
We support excellent palliative care, we do not support the intentional dehydration of people who are not otherwise dying.
For someone who is dying and nearing death, it is often necessary to withdraw food and fluids.
We also support curative measures for people who may also be receiving pain and symptom management. We do not view good palliative care as ignoring the reality that some people will benefit from treatment.
Hospice is the same as death with dignity, they simple adjust the saturation point or the drip and kill a person. Families should only have people around their loved ones that vow to support life to the very last breath, anything else is compicity to euthanasia or death by doctor, nurse or responder. This applies to withholding food or fluids as bc courts have decided against that on the spoon case, thank God. Letting compassion and choices or the hemlock society get their foot in the door will lead Canada to a national blood bath. The catholic hospital in bellingham washington killed my wife and state legislators are turning their backs because the church says one thing and does the other. There are incentives for bad doctors to put you down paid by the governments and it is a simple way to avoid malpractice suits. Peacehealth is taking over state run hospitals and pushing their agendas that many are questioning that will change the medical field forever as obamacare is doing in the states. The pope says he's against all this, while his hospital's actionlope clearly show otherwise. TalkPlatelets
Regarding Bobby Browns comment on Hospice-We do not adjust the saturation point or the drip and kill a person. The person is given pain medication to the point that their pain is controlled. It is a reallity that people fear having to languish in pain at the end. Note, I said FEAR. But this is not so. We can treat the pain with many modalities that do not always effect the level of consciousness; or, the medical profession together with the family can choose to creat a pain free state with the help of something that may also relieve anxiety with mild sedation that would creat sleepiness.

Bobby Brown my father died as a consequence of with intravenous narcotics and lack of suctioning when he was placed in palliative care. The decision for this "treatment" as well as the decision to place him in palliative care in the first place was made by the doctors against my will and against his will. I had power of attorney for him. In his case palliative care acted as a replacement for "involuntary" euthanasia and there is practically no difference except that it takes a little longer. My father was not critically ill, nor terminally ill. He suffered of absolutely no illness and none of his major organs were affected. This was shown in the autopsy report. He did not even suffer a heart attack. He was simply not allowed to breathe and died because of oxygen depletion due to the lack of suctioning and the intravenously injected narcotics. So Bonnie Mills, sorry, but what you say is incorrect. The saturation can and is adjusted. And so is the drip.I have first hand evidence of this.
Fact is that when the patient is not terminal, placing him in palliative care is a form of inflicting on him a slower form of euthanasia. My father died as a consequence of being injected intravenously with narcotics and lack of suctioning while in palliative care. The decision to place him in palliative care as well as the decision for this "treatment" were made without consent, by the doctors, against my will and against his will. I had power of attorney for him. In his case palliative care acted as a replacement for "involuntary" euthanasia. There is practically no difference between the two except that one takes a little longer than the other. My father was not critically ill, nor terminally ill. He suffered of absolutely no illness and none of his major organs were affected. This was shown in the autopsy report. He did not even suffer a heart attack. He was simply not allowed to breathe and died because of oxygen depletion due to the lack of suctioning and the intravenously injected narcotics. So Bonnie Mills, sorry, but what you say is incorrect. The saturation can and is adjusted. And so is the drip.I have first hand evidence of this.
