“What is now known as the “right to die movement” is steadily morphing into what will soon become the “oblicagtion (sic) to die movement.””

Very true. There’s a lot of resentment regarding old people and the very sick who are “using up all our resources”. People have hardened over the years.

Warning: NEVER fall for inpatient pallitive care for yourself or a family member. My sister (52 y/o) lasted one day under that label. I agreed to it because they told me she’d be pain free. Well she sure was after a few heavy doses of IV morphine. I arrived the next morning and she was unresponsive and died that afternoon. Insofar as I was concerned it was Euthanasia. I did some investigating and it’s been going on for years. The patients have Cancer or other catastrophic illness so it’s not detected and if it is - well they were endstage Cancer patients.

Absolutely! This happened to someone I know. They (docs) sold it as palliative care, but that was not true. It was euthanasia. Scary! V’s wife.
