Ignore
the Advancing Euthanasia Culture at Your Peril, Your Loved Ones May be Starved
to Death
By Bobby Schindler / Washington, DC /
LifeNews.com / June 11, 2014
I wonder if we are paying attention
to some of the more recent stories that have been reported in regards to
euthanasia and assisted suicide. Arguably, the most troubling of them
have been reported overseas, however things here in our country are getting
worse, as well.
Just within the past few months we have seen Israel trying to approve assisted suicide, while Quebec has already pushed it through. In Switzerland where assisted suicide is permitted, the Swiss went one step further by officially approving assisted suicide on the grounds of "old age". In Belgium, physicians are averaging the killing of five patients per day by aiding in their deaths.
Not to mention how these Belgian docs are giving themselves the "ok" to kill ICU patients. And let's not forget the children. The Belgian Parliament, in an 86-44 vote, did the unthinkable by legalizing euthanasia for children with disabilities. But it's not just Belgium targeting children; it was reported that British doctors were killing terminally sick children by secretly giving them deadly overdoses.
Back home, it was reported that
last year there were more than 100 physician aided deaths in the state of
Washington, where physician assisted suicide has been legal for years. In
New Jersey, an assisted suicide bill has just been approved by the NJ Assembly
committee. A New York Times story reported that cost of of
treatment is now having an influence on doctors and the care they give to
patients. Then, there was the story out of Massachusetts General and how
their ethics committees were imposing unilateral DNR's on patients.
Finally, according to Wesley J. Smith, a leading voice on medical ethics and the euthanasia issue, bioethicists are suggesting that nursing homes and hospitals should be "legally required to starve patients who can eat and drink, if they have serious dementia and have ordered their starvation deaths in an advance medical directive." This is referred to as VSED, an acronym for "voluntary stopping eating and drinking" and according to Smith is, "the latest craze among the 'death with dignity' crowd."
Again, this is what is happening in just the past few months! Talk about the Slippery Slope!
Indeed, these are stories that mostly concern assisted suicide, and they should cause deep concern for every single one of us. However, the sad truth, and one that rarely gets mentioned, is the countless number of medically vulnerable being killed every day in health care facilities by having their basic care, food and water (via feeding tube), deliberately removed. Certainly, it is safe to say that most Americans are aware that it was the 1972 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling decriminalizing abortion that paved the way for abortion on demand in our nation throughout a woman's pregnancy.
Most Americans are unaware, however, that it was a 1990 Supreme
Court decision, Cruzon v. Director, Missouri Department of Health that
in effect redefined food and water (via feeding tube) from basic and ordinary
care to what is now defined as "medical treatment". Similar to
the Roe decision, this ruling changed our nation in a profound way,
opening the flood gates for the removal of food and hydration from an untold
number of medically vulnerable patients. Unlike Roe, this decision
received no real attention and therefore the general public would have no way
of knowing its implications (and consequences), or how many vulnerable persons
would subsequently be placed in the cross hairs of an aggressive euthanasia
movement.
It is impossible to know how many patients are being purposely starved and dehydrated every day in our nation - we have no way of collecting the data. Indeed, I sometimes still wonder why my sister, Terri Schiavo, received all of the national and international attention, because long before Terri's case, patients were having their food and hydration removed for the purpose of killing them. If we did this to an animal, incidentally, we'd go to prison.
If you take a look at the tens of thousands of health care facilities (hospitals, nursing homes, hospices) that are operating in our country, and combine that with how widely accepted (and legal) it is to starve and dehydrate a person, you begin to get a sense of the potential magnitude of people being killed in one of the most inhumane ways possible. Not even taking into consideration the effects of Obamacare and how they are targeting these same classes of people.
It is no coincidence that we are getting an increase in the number of calls at Terri's Life and Hope Network form families who are facing pressure from health care professionals not wanting to treat or administer basic medical care to their loved ones.
The sad fact is the people and organizations behind the culture of death will not stop advancing their agenda in the most aggressive and devious ways possible. And when you combine the current climate of our culture, the government taking over our health care system, and no real organized effort or system in place to fight for the protection of our elderly, disabled, chronically sick and countless others, the number of our medically vulnerable who will be killed will increase, and I believe, increase exponentially.

Let's call on our loving, gracious,
merciful Creator Lord's help, and help to end euthanasia and assisted suicide
today my friends.

How is our Health Care System? How can we improve it?

this happen - what can we do to stop it from happening again?

Nine Years Ago My Sister
Terri
Schiavo was Dehydrated
and Starved to Death
As Our Health Care System Continues to Worsen
by
Bobby Schindler / Washington DC / LifeNews.com
/ March 20, 2014
It
was nine years ago, March 18, 2005, that the feeding tube of my sister
Terri Schiavo was removed by order of Pinellas County Florida Court
Judge, George W.
Greer. It was by Greer's order that Terri would slowly die by way of
starvation and dehydration. It took almost two weeks.
Since Terri's horrific death, the non-profit organization established by my
family, the Terri Schiavo Life and Hope Network, works every day doing what we
can to educate the public, raises the desperately needed awareness on this
widely misunderstood issue of euthanasia, and more importantly, helps families
that contact us. The vast majority of families who do reach out to us are
faced with situations where their loved ones are in jeopardy of having their
life sustaining treatment denied.
What has become painfully obvious is that it seems like almost every day, more
examples of families' medical rights are being denied when it comes to
decisions they are making for their loved ones.
Indeed, we receive calls similar to what our family experienced - a domestic dispute over the care of a family member. However, more and more, we are getting calls from people who are fighting physicians, ethic committees, or health care facilities where their loved ones are being treated.
Indeed, we receive calls similar to what our family experienced - a domestic dispute over the care of a family member. However, more and more, we are getting calls from people who are fighting physicians, ethic committees, or health care facilities where their loved ones are being treated.
It can go as far as, if you can believe it, families having their
loved ones stripped away from their care by the hospital, losing complete
custody.
When this does happen, there appears to be a certain pattern that begins the process.
When this does happen, there appears to be a certain pattern that begins the process.
First, the hospital physicians, nurses or even the staff will
create or exaggerate a situation involving the family, most times without any
real evidence, or they will fault the parents or loved one who is the caregiver
with some type of mishap with the patient.
Often times what follows is the family member(s) who were making medical treatment decisions are vilified, or accused of being the problem. This gives the hospital a reason to intervene and subsequently take action to deem the family incompetent as the caretaker.

The hospital can then go as far as restricting visitation rights,
or completely stopping any family member from visiting their loved one,
claiming that they are a "threat" to the care of the patient.
The hospital can then go to court in order to gain control of the patient by requesting that a guardian be appointed or even the hospital itself, in place of the family members who were caring for their loved one.

The family who was once in the position of taking care of their
loved one is now on the outside looking in - having no legal rights or any ability
to help or even visit them.
If you think this cannot happen, then you haven't heard of three cases currently taking place where the family has been removed as the care givers of their child and / or spouse. The cases of Justina Pelletier in Massachusetts, Bret Bohnin in Alaska, and the Gary Harvey case in New York. All you need to do is look them up.

The cases of Justina Pelletier in Massachusetts, Bret Bohnin in Alaska, and the Gary Harvey case in New York. All you need to do is look them up.
In each situation, the facility contends that these patients were
not being properly cared for by their family member and as a result, the patients
were removed from their custody. Although these cases have their
differences, there is one common denominator. Despite the reasons
specified, it appears that in each instance proper care was being given.
And in all of these situations, the care of their loved one has been put in the
hands of strangers.
There have been countless warning signs with the state of our
health care system and its perilous direction when it comes to caring for those
who are unable to speak for themselves. Perhaps much of it started with
the death of my sister, Terri.
It is because of this that over the next two weeks, Terri's Life and Hope Network website will post stories of the events that occurred on each of those horrific days of Terri's inhumane death. Not only to remember Terri, but also to keep in mind the countless people who, as we speak, are suffering slow, agonizing deaths in hospices, nursing homes, and hospitals in America and around the world.
Every one of us needs to understand that no longer are we the ones who will be making medical decisions for our loved ones if we ever find ourselves in a situation where a hospital decides it knows better.

New
note (added info. Not from the article):
Any Health Care Law should protect life, support life, and should further the
healing of human life and do no harm to human life, and should not force anyone
to dishonor the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We humans are created
by our Creator Lord, in His image, for His glory! We humans are more than
flesh and blood! Any such Health Care Law should be discussed by,
supported and agreed upon by, independents, republicans, and democrats alike
and should be presented to the public before voted upon Congress and
signed by the President of the United States. Any Health Care Law should
show the public that all those involved with the writing of the Health Care Law
value human life - life made in the image of our Creator -life given as a gift
of the Lord.
Let's call on our loving, gracious, merciful Creator Lord's
help, and help to repeal, or change all the problems with, the new Health Care
Law!!!
The Holy Scriptures tell us about our Creator Lord, and how we humans are created by our Creator Lord, in HIS image, for HIS glory, and how we should worship our Creator Lord and HIS Beloved Son Jesus with all our heart, soul, mind, and body, and how we should value life, and how we should protect and support human life, and how our Creator Lord loves us that HE sent HIS only Begotten Son Jesus into this World to shed HIS blood and to die on a cross for us sinners, so that we might have eternal life! The Holy Scriptures are pure, perfect, powerful, profitable for doctrine and teaching, and cannot be broken! Our Creator Lord is faithful! Our Creator Lord is true! Our Creator Lord cannot lie! Our Creator Lord can be taken at HIS Word! Jesus is the Word of God! Our Creator Lord is good! Our Creator Lord is good all the time! Our Creator Lord is LOVE!

Recent Case ...
Recently
the Life and Hope Network received a call from a young man in his 20s. His
fiancee experienced an asthma attack and went into cardiac arrest two weeks
prior to him contacting us. Physicians initially diagnosed her as brain
dead and she needed a ventilator to help with her breathing. According to
the young man, physicians re-diagnosed her after she began to show signs of
improvement.
Despite this, her parents asked
physicians to remove her from the ventilator, with the understanding it would
lead to their daughter's death.
The physicians were wrong.
When her ventilator was removed, she began to breathe on her own and at that
point, was only being sustained by food and water (via feeding tube).
According to her fiancee there were times when she was attempting to
communicate.
In spite of the signs of progress
this young woman appeared to be making, and the desperate pleas from her
fiancee, her parents made the decision to remove their daughter's feeding tube
and she was subsequently administered morphine and Ativan.
We received a message just
recently, letting us know that this young woman had died. Just one more
example of how euthanasia is being practiced every day.

Unilateral
Non-Resuscitation at Massachusetts General
By
Wesley J. Smith
National
Review Online / 05/12/14
Can this have something to do with Romney/Obamacare?
According
to a medical study, since 2006, Massachusetts General Hospital's Bioethics
Committee has forced people to not receive wanted resuscitation by imposing
unilateral DNRs. And apparently, it's all done in Star Chamber
secrecy. From Thaddeus Pope's blog (quoting from a medical symposium
presentation).
"Unilateral Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) orders are a specific type of medical futility decision in which clinicians withhold advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the event of cardiopulmonary arrest despite objections of patients or their surrogates. There is little information on how often and to whom unilateral DNR orders are applied. The ethics committee at Massachusetts General Hospital has had a unilateral DNR policy since 2006.
We investigated the incidence, sociodemographic and clinical predictors, and outcomes of patients with unilateral DNR orders.
If I read this correctly,
thirty-eight percent of those upon whom the unilateral DNRs appear not to have
been at the end stage of a terminal disease:
Patients for whom unilateral DNR was recommended were more likely to have conditions judged to be endstage rather than potentially reversible (62% versus 41 %, p=0.05)"
And who can be surprised that
non-whites were more likely to have an involuntary DNR imposed?
This is medical tyranny. People are refused potentially life-saving treatment based on the secret views of strangers in committee who have given themselves the power to so dictate. Litigate!

To
whom it may concern,
Greetings on this glorious day that the Lord has made! I hope that you and the
loved ones are in good health. Good health is such a wonderful blessing
from the good Lord, our Creator Lord! How is your spirit on this
glorious day? Please remember that we humans are more than flesh and blood.
Please remember the poor, and the working poor, today! Also, please remember
that we humans are created by our Creator Lord, in His image, with inalienable
rights! Thank you very much for contacting me and for asking for a donation.
Although I have been blessed greatly by the good Lord, our Creator Lord, over
the years (over my entire life actually - one time I was living out on the
streets, one time I was labeled autistic and couldn't speak, and one time I was
deeply in debt - to mention just three times that the good Lord has blessed
me), I will not be donating at this time. I ask that you would be patient
please, and ask again within maybe eighteen to thirty six weeks. I don't have
much money or assets (compared to rich people, or compared to middle class
people, but compared to people living on less than $2 a day I probably have a
lot). I am content, and am very grateful to the good Lord for each new day and
many tender mercies that He gives us! I am very grateful that the good Lord
looks down on us from above, and grants peace!
Thank you again for asking for a donation, and hope that you and the loved ones
have a joyous and peaceful day. May the good Lord, our Creator Lord, bless you
and the loved ones with love, joy, peace, and patience!
Sincerely,
Ken
