Euthanasia, ass...Please don't pass this motion. Euthanasia, assisted suicide are contrary to what nurses have always been known and trusted for. Helping patients live their lives , helping patients in their healing. Helping people die with dignity has always meant giving comfort, alleviating pain, but never causing death. Life has always been revered and something to cherish. Euthanasia will be impossible to moderate once that door has opened. Abuses by all concerned are possible and indeed have been documented in the few countries where it is legal. You know it will be the nurses who will have this delegated to them by the doctors. If euthanasia is endorsed and passed by the RNAO, and subsequently passed by the Canadian govt. we can kiss better palliative care goodbye. Costs, elderly perceiving themselves a burden will feel pressured by society, to make things "easier" for the family. We can improve care by improving palliative care, elder care, psychiatric care. Killing is not caring.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028903400115363077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-4848830188752907772014-04-15T21:34:06.645-04:002014-04-15T21:34:06.645-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-15285333332211001502014-04-15T21:32:12.543-04:002014-04-15T21:32:12.543-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-51525476298079056452014-04-15T17:54:48.883-04:002014-04-15T17:54:48.883-04:00It doesn`t matter how strictly the rules are writt...It doesn`t matter how strictly the rules are written to prevent euthanasia with non-terminal diagnoses, there are ways around them, as we`ve seen in many jurisdictions and with other procedures(abortions). There can be NO support for euthanasia. There MUST BE better palliative care support given.<br />Karen Yantha-former PhysiotherapistFizzio70noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-41914520768150840902014-04-15T09:52:24.628-04:002014-04-15T09:52:24.628-04:00I haven't been a member of RNAO for many years...I haven't been a member of RNAO for many years but I do support your resolution and would vote in its favour.<br /><br />Elizabeth Rankin BScNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-61561581734960610622014-04-15T08:38:14.427-04:002014-04-15T08:38:14.427-04:00NB* VOTING ON THIS RESOLUTION ACTUALLY BEGINS ONLI...NB* VOTING ON THIS RESOLUTION ACTUALLY BEGINS ONLINE TODAY APRIL 15TH AT NOON AND RUNS THROUGH APRIL 30TH THROUGH YOUR 'MY RNAO' WEBPAGE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
