Are the profoundly disabled and
frail elderly living too long?
" ... bioethicist Daniel
Callahan - who saw the feeding tube as a serious hurdle - boldly stated that
changing its classification from 'basic care' to 'medical treatment' would be
'the only effective way to make certain that a large number of biologically
tenacious patients actually die."

have a Culture of Death
According to research reviewed by board certified medical geneticist and Co-Director of the Down Syndrome Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. Skotko, it is estimated that 92 percent of all women who receive a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome abort their baby.
World
famous atheist proselytizer and Oxford professor, Richard Dawkins, made
headlines when he called it "immoral" not to abort Down babies
"and try again."
Belgium has
legalized euthanasia (with no age limits) for children who have been diagnosed
as terminal and with death expected to occur "within a brief
period." If this criteria is met, then the parents - and child! -
may ask in writing for a lethal injection.
The head of
Canada's largest doctors' group has called child euthanasia an
"appropriate" choice under certain circumstances.
Northern Ireland
Minister of Justice, David Ford, is considering a change in the law so that it
is legal to kill pre-born babies suspected of being disabled.
Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University, Peter Singer, believes we
should be permitted to lethally inject Alzheimer's "non-persons,"
even if they never asked to be killed.
Currently,
there is a strong push advocating the removal of spoon feeding from Alzheimer's
patients if they so requested in an advance directive.
In 2012, a
prominent doctor in the UK made the chilling claim that the (NHS) - the
publicly funded healthcare systems in the UK (and what most likely Obamacare
will look like for us here in the US) - "kills off 130,000 elderly
patients every year."
In a March 2008,
New York Times article titled, "Terminal Options for the
Irreversibly Ill", Judith Schwartz, a registered nurse and clinical
coordinator for Compassion and Choices of New York (formerly known as the
Hemlock Society) openly stated that over one million people die each year in
American hospitals as a "a consequence of someone's decision to withhold
or withdraw life-sustaining treatment."
In the same
article, Dr. Sidney Wanzer and Dr. Joseph Glenmullen of Harvard University
Health Services noted that in situations where a person is going to stop
receiving food and water, "refusal of hydration is faster and less
distressing than starvation in hastening death."
Sadly,
these are just a few more recent examples of the life-threatening prejudices
plaguing the disability community and countless others who are medically
vulnerable. Indeed, this terrible toll does not arise in a cultural
vacuum, but reflects attitudes that assume dead is better than disabled.
And, there is no doubt, that included in the number of patients dying in this
sobering New York Times article, regardless of its title are those with
cognitive disabilities who, every single day, are being starved and hydrated to
death - persons who are not dying, but who are simply living with their
disability, and only need basic care (food and water, via a feeding tube) to
live.
It was not
long ago that feeding tubes were considered basic and ordinary care and
therefore it was illegal, an act of euthanasia, to stop feeding and hydrating a
person in need of a feeding tube. Today, however, feeding tubes have been
redefined as "artificial nutrition and hydration" - and therefore a
form of "medical treatment." Consequently, the removal of food
and water from the cognitively disabled patients, and countless other medically
vulnerable people, is now legal and routine in fifty states.
In his
book, Culture of Death: The Assault on Medical Ethics in America, author
and bioethicist Wesley J. Smith writes that, "defining 'artificial
nutrition' as treatment instead of human care was a crucial step in the
development of the culture of death." According to Smith, as far
back as the early 80s, bioethicists began to debate out loud whether or not
"the profoundly disabled and frail were living too long." In
particular, bioethicist Daniel Callahan - who saw the feeding tube as a serious
hurdle - boldly stated that changing its classification from "basic
care" to "medical treatment" would be "the only effective
way to make certain that a large number of biologically tenacious patients
actually die."
Eventually, more
bioethicists agreed with Callahan's view, as well as health care professionals,
politicians, judges, and others, ultimately accomplishing their goal of
redefining the administration of food and hydration via a feeding tube.
Today,
either the general public is unaware of this change, or they just don't
care. But if you think dehydrating to death our medically vulnerable
isn't happening, then you are not paying attention.
Whatever
the reason, the mainstream media does very little to properly clear up any
confusion that may exist, as they continue to report that persons who receive
food and water via feeding tubes are receiving "artificial life
support," giving the perception that these people are aided by machines.
Tragically,
too many of us today have become disconnected and desensitized to our own
dignity and intrinsic worth. It seems we no longer know how to love, and
we place more significance and value on what a person can or cannot do,
instead of understanding the value and dignity of the human person simply
because they are human.
As a
consequence, every single day decisions are being made for our medically
defenseless to be barbarically starved and dehydrated to death. Not to
mention the offensive claim that to slowly dehydrate persons to death over a
period of weeks is "an act of compassion;" that they are somehow
experiencing death in a dignified way. This is not compassion. This
is not love. This is intentionally killing, and in the most undignified
way.
Recently,
Germany made the decision to inaugurate a memorial for the people with physical
and mental disabilities who, because of their disabilities, were killed by the Nazis
after their lives were deemed "worthless." Estimates are that
over 200,000 were killed.
Perhaps we
should consider erecting one here in the United States.

Planned Parenthood sells dead baby parts on a massive scale
Life Legal Defense Foundations was finally able to reveal its sponsorship of a two-year sting operation proving that Planned Parenthood routinely sells organs and tissues of babies aborted in its self-proclaimed "health centers." This systematic profiteering is known about and approved by officers at the abortion giant's highest levels of authority. Planned Parenthood's abortionists will even alter the abortion method in order to guarantee the tissues most sought after - regardless of what might be best for the aborting mother.
The shocking results of the investigation are being unveiled in a series of videos posted on the website of the Center for Medical Progress. The first video, released on July 14, 2015, immediately went viral and caused the site to crash two hours after opening. By the next day, several congressional committees had announced that hearings would be held to investigate whether Planned Parenthood was trafficking in fetal organs.
This "Human Capital" project was a nearly three-year- long undertaking of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). Directed by CMP Project Lead David Daleiden, the effort secured audio and video recordings of Planned Parenthood administrators and abortionists casually agreeing to sell freshly-extracted parts from their abortions.
Among those recorded in Daleiden's operation are prominent Planned Parenthood officers, including Dr. Deborah Nucatola, Senior Director of Medical Services, Planned Parenthood Federation of America:
"So I say, 'what are you looking to supply today?"
[Later] "We have been very good at [getting] heart, lung, liver ... because we know that, so I'm not gonna crush that part, I'm gonna basically crush below, I'm gonna crush what is above, I'm gonna see if I can get it all intact."
Cecil Richards, President and CEO of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America:
[Acknowledging the work of Dr. Nucatola] "Oh great. She's amazing..."
Dr. Mary Gatter, Presidetn, Medical Directors' Council, PPFA:
[Asked if $100 per sample would "keep her happy"] "I want a Lamborghini..."
Life Legal gives credit for these revelations to David Daleiden. But David Daleiden gives a lot of the credit to Life Legal: "Life legal demonstrated both initiative and foresight in providing seed money for the Human Capital Project. Life legal had no way of knowing that the project would succeed in the long run. Their advice and assistance has been essential!"
Familiar as we are with the contract killer's practices, Life Legal can't claim to be surprised by Planned Parenthood's utter disregard for medical ethics. But we are delighted that it has been so ably and thoroughly documented by David Daleiden.
Life Legal is proud to have played an active, essential role in exposing Planned Parenthood's ghoulish work. Katie Short, Life Legal's Vice President for legal Affairs, remarked, "Planned Parenthood's unconscionable acts are recorded and proven. But if there are to be further consequences, the public needs to keep the pressure on. After these revelations, the first thing every public official should be asked is why a penny of taxpayer money is going to fund any part of Planned Parenthood's activities."
"But beyond that," Short emphasized, "we should not lose sight of the fact that these horrific acts are taking place against a backdrop of legal baby-killing. When all the investigations are over and the laws about fetal tissue trafficking have been examined and re-examined, will we still be a country that tolerates the mutilation, dismemberment, and killing of preborn children?"
Having been with the project from its inception, Life Legal is committed to following through. Planned Parenthood will not lightly escape the judgment it has merited by trafficking in babies' eyes, hearts, livers, muscles, and other organs and tissues.

Wash., D.C. 20500
Dear President Barack Obama,
Greetings
on this glorious day! I hope and pray that all is well! Good health
is such a wonderful blessing from the good Lord, our Creator Lord! I am
posting this blog on this glorious day to ask for your help. Please help
fight back against racism and the misuse of power throughout this country
today! I seek your help in getting Congressional approval and the United
States Justice Department to get more actively involved with alleged racist
actions and alleged misuse of power here in the United States. Please
read below what the US Justice Department could possibly do to combat racism.
Request for
the United States Justice Department to take further action into police's
misuse of power:
Over the
years there have been many (too many) reports of possible, or outright, racist
actions on the part of police officers throughout the United States. As
someone that was born in 1956 and have heard of many reports, but nowhere near
the actual amount of racist actions that have occurred, these reports show that
there is still racism within some police departments, as well as throughout the
country. I'm sure the vast majority of the public would agree that even
one racist act by a police officer is one too many (unless you a racist).
One racist police officer is one too many police officer! This is
a justice issue. Let's take steps to remove racist police officers from
the force! Not just police departments are affected by racism, and I
don't want to single out just police departments, but the United States Justice
Department could make a giant step into looking into actions of some police
officers, and maybe the departments as a whole, and take appropriate action to
help eliminate (fire) racist police officers. This would probably take
Congressional action to give the investigative committees authority to remove
officers from the police force and / or impose fines, or any other remedy
called out for by the committee. Below is a suggestion for the U.S.
Justice Department:
The U.S.
Justice Department should institute 85 - 95 investigative committees, with each
committee consisting of 41 members. Those looking into allegations of
misuse of power by police officers (the investigative committees) should be
mostly made up of African-Americans, let say 36 members, and the other 5
members from other races. They should thoroughly look into any allegation
of misuse of power (not necessarily only racist actions), concentrating first
on where there has been more allegations. The committees should be able
to either refer the officer for prosecution plus removal from the police force
(let's say, a minimum of ten years), remove the officer from the force (let's
say for a minimum of 8 years), just fine and/or reprimand the officer, or refer
for further investigation. This could be one step the Justice Dept. could
take. They could also look into the misuse of power by other places
where, unfortunately, racism and /or misuse of power exists (fire departments,
ambulance departments, the court system, etc.).
One
thing for sure, with the membership of the investigative committees made up
with 36 members of African-Americans, the alleged acts of misuse of power would
be thoroughly looked into, and not swept under the rug! Also, once
started, the investigative committees would have a profound effect within
police departments and other places where racism exist! There is racism
in this country, and I am afraid that a lot of white people think that there is
very little racism in the country today (not that we should ever end working to
end racism). Only the good Lord knows how much racism, or Anti-Semitism,
exists in this country, or throughout the world today!
Thank you very
much for all your help! 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 immensely!
In hope, peace,
and love,
Ken Miller

Summary:
U.S. Justice
Department should institute investigative committees to look into allegations
of misuse of power by police / police departments throughout the country,
starting with where there have been the most allegations.
Each committee consists of 41 members:
36 members should be African-American
5 members should be of other races
Let's say, that
with 37 committee members concurring, a police officer would be removed from
the force for a minimum of 10 years and referred for prosecution of criminal
acts.
Let's say, that
with 33 committee members concurring, a police officer would be removed from
the force for a minimum of 8 years.
Let's say, that
with 27 members concurring, fines of up to $15,000 could be imposed upon a
police office and / or an official reprimand given.
Let's say, that
with 24 members concurring, the committee could refer the investigation back
for further review.
