Regarding medical murder law, don t be surprises if legislators slip exemptions in for themselves and fat retired cops. It does not bother me. When the carnivorous saber toothed alien invasion comes, simmering fat cops in a cauldron with onion, carrots, sprig of Rosemary, and two Bay leaves will be the thing on Tuesday nights.

From what I’m hearing from friends with elderly parents, things are already headed in that direction. Apparently our medical system allows doctors to decide to withhold medical treatment of elderly people who are not on life-support but need an operation or medication to regain an achievable benefit. They are sort of cast-aside and unless eagle-eyed relatives notice this is going on (not always easy) the patient is going to suffer accordingly. That is one reason so many people are doped-up on medicines they don’t need and end up not knowing who they are or where they are. Plus the food they serve in hospitals and nursing homes is neither tasty nor nourishing, resulting in patients whose refusal to partake of such appalling fare they become very weak. Of course, the medical profession’s solution to this problem is to do more tests and prescribe medicine.
Either all life is sacred or all life is expendable. There is no middle ground on this one.

Oops, I made some typos above. I should have said:

“You could just be someone whose conscience wouldn’t allow you to be silent about their policies.
O the times, O the morals…”

I don’t think this is such a good law.
It also seems weird to me because some years back I had a conversation with a physician who was running for public office (a Progressive). I asked him what he thought the purpose of his profession was and he said “to prolong life”. And, here I thought it was to heal the sick.
Another weird thing, even before this bill was proposed, our current one-size-fits-all Universal Health Care and Insurance system has been putting health-care professionals in a position to “save money” by withholding needed treatment from elderly patients who are not terminally ill, just somewhere in their declining years. If the patient does not realize this, or have an alert and active family to look out for them, they are on death row. Consider just what kind of care they are likely to get from providers once that gets around.
If you want to know where this law will take our State and the nation, just read your history. Nazi Germany would be a good place to start.
There was a very long list of people who weren’t considered good enough to live. And you didn’t have to be Jewish, or Roman Catholic, or Gypsy, or mentally-retarded, or mentally-ill, or deformed, either. You could just be someone whose conscience wouldn’t allow you to oppose their policies.
If this law is allowed to stand, a lot of people who support it now will, in time, come to wish they hadn’t.
O the time, O the morals…

Right. The nazis got started in their eugenics-based genocide by encouraging ‘humane’ assisted suicide….This is a very slippery slope, it will be greased by money….Everything the nazis did was ‘legal’…..

And at what point will this conversation turn into an insistence by the state/insurance companies that Gladys has lived long enough?
