  2. This thing about assisted killing is just another step of little bit by little bit.
    Suppose, if you call it assisted suicide, it softens the impact.
    To begin with, there is absolutely not a necessity to keep people alive by machines and other artificial means if a person has no prospect of conscious life barring a miracle.
    As someone already mentioned, people that have pain and suffer could be given drugs such as morphine or heroin or any other such drug that will apparently diminish the pain. If anybody thinks they get addicted, pray tell, what’s the down side?
    It is interesting how, over past few decades, the medical industry competed on how to prolong life. They and the health care industry work on saving lives of severely damaged people, however futile and meaningless their lives become. Eventually or potentially some of those, whose lives were prolonged will wish that they would have rather died than live impossible life.
    Of course this does not apply to all cases, many cases or few cases. Who knows?
    There are known cases by the thousands where mostly old people will stop eating and will die an ordinary natural death. No help needed. They go on their own, in peace with themselves, no questions asked, no demands, no trumpets.
    The politicians truly don’t give a damn, they have no morals, no ethics. It would not be a surprise that when they get elected, they go through a brainwashing program where they are told that whatever anybody sez (sic) to them they ignore it as though nobody is talking to them. The answers are robotic in nature, preprogrammed if you will, you only have to look at the airhead in Ottawa.
    The real threat here is that this is the second step in the progress of the culture of death. You can be sure that this is not the end of killing. There eventually will be real actual death panels that will decide when the time for a person to die is, health will be a minor variable in the decision.
    It has been done before, Phoenicians killed thousands in Cartago, there was no war, there was no fight, they just decided that some had to die.
    Little bit by little bit, you won’t even notice until too late.

  4. 30% of all healthcare expenditures are attributed to the 5% of beneficiaries that die each year, with 1/3 of that cost occurring in the last month of life. Slightly more than half of healthcare dollars are spent on patients who die within two months.
    If it’s paid for by people’s private insurance then it could be argued they paid for those benefits. If however those costs are paid for by the taxpayer, then the expenditure is questionable. Spending a disproportionate amount of tax dollars to artificially extend someone’s final hospital stay is a waste of resources.
    For someone diagnosed with a terminal illness, the State can only be expected to provide an unlimited supply of morphine, along with a warning that they can kill themselves by continuing to push the button till they pass out.
    If people wish to purchase private care insurance to extend their terminal illness than that’s their option.
    The priority for health care resources should be spending them on people who can be healed to normal sustainable health.

  5. Exactly, and as Colonista examples from Europe, there certainly is a slippery slpoe and we are about to embark on it.

  6. Free? No way!
    If Sweet Preem wants to Wynne-ow my health care
    costs down to zero I want a signing bonus!

  7. There’s nothing more compassionate than telling someone you don’t care if they kill themselves. We should ban interventions, too!
    Prog logic in a nutshell.
