Communist nations have been known to lock up political prisoners in insane asylums. It discredits their beliefs and permits them to be tortured with electric and chemical shock treatment, sleep deprivation, psychotropic drugs, and locking them up together with the criminally insane.
So hospitals should be required to provide food and water to dieing people free of charge. Many sufferers of dementia would also require food and water via IV. Who pays?
What about antibiotics?
Cancer treatments?
When do you cut off the deadbeat losers without insurance or money?
If you don’t have money or insurance, you should die. Who is willing to pay for the deadbeats?
Its not the government’s decision to make. PERIOD.
This movement is starting. I'm involved in it. But we have one heck of an uphill battle ahead of us.
At some point, when you no longer pay into the system, you too will be a “deadbeat loser.”
Hope for your sake dehydration is as much fun as the death peddlers are trying to convince us it is.
Who do you propose pay for these people?
Obamacare?
Before the government usurped this role, families, churches and communities took care of them. After this government and culture collapses, families, churches and communities will once again care of them.

You individually don't measure up, judging by the drivel you're posting on this thread.
already happened here. terry schivo.
The only reason for killing a person by torture is to 'comfort' the doctor doing it. He can have the illusion the death is 'natural'. It's not - there's nothing 'natural' about being starved to death.
Doctors need to man up.
If doctors are going to kill patients they ought to have to balls to do it right - take them down to the basement and shoot them - it's less painful for the patient and a whole lot more dignified...
Doesn’t sound like the Court of Protection does much protection .... sorta like a death panel, but that term might be too accurate.
So all people do, or at least should receive the medical care they require, and it should be provided for by the government, families, churches, communities ...
Do you really believe that all people in the United States actually get the medical treatment they need? Are you kidding?
These two articles just prove that Sarah Palin didn’t know what she was talking about when she said that Obamauncare would have death panels. (sarc off)
Not necessarily true. I know a number of doctors who routinely have to sign off on cases because they refuse to participate in the family's wishes to kill a patient. Too few physicians stand up against this growing euthanasia movement, but heirs are just as much a force in the growth of this movement as the physicians themselves. Don't underestimate the childrens' desire that the estate survive their parents' illness as a driving force in these cases.
It was clearly the primary motive for the husband in the killing of Terri Schiavo.
Until the demented person is his parent, child or other person he loves.
well that and he wanted to run off with his new women and he was still married to Terri.
Did you ever notice that almost all legislation that outlaws physician assisted suicide also indemnifies from prosecution those physicians who kill their patients by withdrawal of nutrition and hydration and terminal sedation? Ever wonder at that? Then read on...
AMEN, Dr. Kopp!
“The measure of a civilization is how it treats its weakest members.”
Don't kid yourself - 'the poor' vote democrat - same with drug addicts, alcoholics, street bums etc. They will get care - that's what 'ObamaCare' is all about - helping the folks who never did anything for our country but take, take and take some more. Dems want them to live long and healthy voting lives...
The people ObamaCare plans on 'offing' are old white people - the one's who have supported all these 'care' programs all these years - the responsible one - the one's with money... and with nice homes that can be taxed out of existence.
Trust me, ghetto dwellers, illegal immigrants, their families, the homeless, etc will be taken care of just fine... Gays are democrats too - they'll be fine. Gays have more health care dollars spent on them than any other group (per person). No expense will be spared - they vote dem and donate money. That will continue.
Again, the ONLY large group dems want to deny care to are white and elderly - and conservative. Think - the greatest generation - think - grandmothers...
According to planned (non) parenthood, prior to their birth.
Seriously we are not talking huge expensive intervention...that might be a debate for another day. All we are talking is food and water. I would hate to meet the person who would deny a dying man a drink of water. That would have to be one mean miserable SOB.
