Tom Hayes - Let's talk about euthanasia and abortion
2009-08-04 19:56:00 Abortion is a proven "wedge" issue, in the finest tradition of Karl Rove's masterful divisive politics, and it's arguably being used that way again right now in the health-care insurance reform debate. The mainstream media is commercial, so they're far from immune from the effects of the money being spent to spin, shape, frame, and control this debate. Most of us, frankly, have "good enough" insurance, and we all get to make the choice to keep our current system. In fact, of the 5 out of 6 covered Americans, fully 3 out of 4 of them say they're mostly satisfied. So let's be clear: this isn't about the majority, this is about the 1 in 6 Americans who aren't covered. 1 in 6 - that's not quite 50 million Americans. Now, nobody's proposed socialized medicine - if they had the doctors wouldn't be mostly in favor of reform. But it's a tested sound bite that shaves off a few votes. Did you know they need more billing clerks at Duke Medical Center than they have nurses? Does...

The success or failure of the euthanasia movement is based on the classific
2008-04-18 14:57:00 There has been a lot of talk in Luxembourg lately on whether or not to legalise euthanasia and in February the law was passed (30 votes for, 29 against) making it legal under certain conditions. It still has to pass a second instance before being adopted. Euthanasia would only be allowed for the terminally ill and a series of checks are built into the law. Patients will have had to have repeatedly ask to die on documented and witnessed occasions. It would go ahead only with the consent of two doctors and a panel of experts. This new law started animated discussions in Luxembourg, a very conservative and catholic country. Luxembourg is the third country in the European union to legalise euthanasia.The Netherlands was the first country to legalise euthanasia (in 2002) and it is also legal in Belgium and the state of Oregon (USA). Switzerland allows assisted suicide but euthanasia is not legal.What is euthanasia?The intentional killing by act or omission of a dependent human being for ...

What is your opinion about Euthanasia?
2008-03-21 08:25:00 In Paris a severely disfigured woman was found dead. The story was that she wants to end her suffering by asking the doctors to apply mercy killing on her. The argument said that she has a tumor or a rare case of cancer that affect her nasal and made her face ugly plus her eyes were popping out that will look her terribly ugly. She suffered this disease for eight years and it is irreversible so sooner or later she will still go to her grave. The debate by the medical people and church resulted to denial of her wish. In catholic faith in particular, suicide or killing anyone especially yourself is a mortal sin and the church will not even conduct a mass for you. Sometimes and or more often I think it is not a good reason to deny the wish because even if you have a pet and you see that it suffers a lot then you have to end its suffering by killing it, why we could not do it to anyone who owns her or his body to grant her wish? If God will punish anyone who will do it then why did he l...

Fish Euthanasia
2007-12-08 02:51:00 Not a pleasant subject, so why write about it? Only because many years ago I was faced with the problem of a very sick and obviously suffering fish and I couldn’t do anything about it, and couldn’t stand to see it go on. At the time those more experienced were unable to suggest the problem, but did advise on how the fish could be relieved of its misery. Thankfully I have never faced such a problem since and fingers crossed never will. The aquarist who does all the proper things may never need to consider the subject. I feel reasonably certain that the majority of marine aquarists have never had such an awful decision to make. The fish in question is in dire straits: it cannot breathe properly, swims in circles/upside down/up and down, bumps into things, doesn’t hide and colouration is faded. There can be several indicators. The aquarist is at a total loss to understand what the problem is, nothing fits the known diseases and ailments, and so what treatment can be given? The ...

Euthanasia
2007-12-04 05:12:00 When we think of this word, certain points emerge from our consideration. What spontaneously comes to my mind is 'Mercy killing'. Yeah, I'm for mercy killing. I somehow find these bunch of guys silly...the ones who are against euthanasia. I can't banish their perspective either but one thing's for sure...they'll have to accept the fact, eventually. People happen to be against Euthanasia, I don't know why. This comes out from my heart. It's true! Life is God's gift, we have no right to take it away but forget not, Euthanasia means 'Mercy killing', most likely the word 'killing' catches the eye and not 'mercy'.. I would have strongly been against it had people wanted to give up their lives because of family or monetary problems. This ain't for losers but for people suffering from incurable diseases. Imagine the pitiable state of a patient suffering everyday, every moment, crying in pain helplessly. He has no other option. He knows he's gonna die soon but then why bein...
Five pups in Rushville survive euthanasia attempt!
2007-11-29 14:27:00 Oh, this is just the saddest thing...and hit really too close to home. The city animal shelter in Rushville, Indiana euthanizes animals. If that isn't sad enough, one of the pups was found in the carcass storage freezer on Friday, having survived her euthanasia attempt. And it seems she isn't the only one. One of the shelter employees blew the whistle on Friday, now a police investigation is underway.After some medical care, Gabby, the pup, is safe and sound, staying with a foster family until she can be adopted.

Euthanasia & the Holocaust
2007-11-19 11:57:00 The T-4 Program Origins, Planning & Staff Origins of T-4 Nazi Propaganda "Encouragement of genetically healthy families" Until WWI, eugenics in Germany and the U.S. ran parallel courses. By the middle of the 1930's, more than half the states in the United Sates had passed laws that authorized the sterilization of "inmates of mental institutions, persons convicted more than once of sex crimes, those doomed to be feeble-minded by 10 tests, 'moral degenerate persons,' and epileptics." In the famous Carrie Bell case, the Supreme Court upheld the Virginia law ordering her compulsory sterilization and "presaged the arguments used later to justify eugenic killings in Nazi Germany."The idea of enforcing ?racial hygiene? had been an essential element of Hitler?s ideology from its earliest days. Hitler seems to have had a lifelong horror of mental illness and physical deformity. In his discussions with Bouhler and the head of the Reich Chancellery, Hans Lamme...

Now that he has been released, Dr. Kevorkian continues to speak out for liberalized euthanasia rights while new studies on the subject are debated.

What is Euthanasia?
2007-08-23 20:05:00 Euthanasia is defined as an easy, painless death. In regard to animals, euthanasia is the act of killing an animal in a humane manner. The primary objectives of animal euthanasia are: 1) relieving pain and suffering of the animal(s) to be euthanized, 2) minimizing the pain, anxiety, distress, and fear the animal experiences before consciousness is lost, and 3) inducing a painless and distress-free death.Observing the behavioral and physiologic responses of animals is beneficial in assessing whether the objectives of euthanasia are being met. A variety of behaviors and physiologic responses may be demonstrated by animals experiencing pain and/or fear, including (but not limited to) distress vocalizations, struggling, escape attempts, agitation, freezing, aggression, fearful postures or facial expressions, trembling, salivating, urinating, defecating, evacuation of anal sacs, pupillary dilation, panting, tachycardia, and sweating. Response to euthanasia procedures (handling, restraint...

Euthanasia for Clients and Veterinarians
2007-08-23 20:03:00 As in any intimate relationship, when an animal companion dies or is ill, people are likely to feel stress, sorrow, and grief. This may include the animal?s family and neighbors in the community, as well as the veterinary team that has provided care. The significance of pets dying and the consequent emotional impact on clients is now clearly profiled within the veterinary profession, with educational materials and support groups, hotlines, and counseling available. The relatively short lifespan of dogs and cats means that clients face losing several animals during a lifetime. Most veterinarians themselves have painful memories of losing a particular animal and understand only too well the pain their clients feel.An extra burden comes in assuming responsibility for the moment of death by euthanasia. The philosophical dilemma is the same as that posed by human euthanasia. One must weigh the value of mercy or the Golden Rule to relieve pain and suffering with the wrongness of killing o...

UK: Doctors urge ?Active Euthanasia? for Disabled Babies
2007-07-02 14:15:00 The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecology has put forward the option of permitting mercy killings of the sickest infants to a review of medical ethics.It says ?active euthanasia? should be considered for the overall benefit of families who would otherwise suffer years of emotional and financial suffering.Deliberate action to end infants? lives may also reduce the number of late abortions, since it would allow women the chance to decide whether their disabled child should live.?A very disabled child can mean a disabled family. If life-shortening and deliberate interventions to kill infants were available, they might have an impact on obstetric decision-making,? the college writes in a submission to the Nuffield Council on Bioethics.?We would like the working party to think more radically about non-resuscitation, withdrawal of treatment decisions, the best interests test, and active euthanasia, as they are ways of widening the management options available to the sickest of ne...

Disposable Elders - Passive Euthanasia
2007-05-23 19:00:00 Article by Ray FernandezThe practice of putting infirm people out on the street, to their own luck is similar to calling Financial Elder Abuse a 'Civilly Matter' we know that many elders will not survive a long and expensive drawn out legal battle, to recover the assets that the elder needs to survive their final days."Use of any acute ER as a free primary care clinic by a significantly large population places an incredible financial strain on that facility. There are hospitals on the west coast that have been forced to close because of this issue". If this statement justifies 'Disposable Elders' can State Sponsored euthanasia be far behind ?Then we have the moral question ? We put animals to sleep when they are sick to spare then any further suffering, why should we be less merciful with humans beings? .When an infirm Elder who suffers from Dementia lacks the assets to pay for care because of Elder Financial Abuse , or other causes is let out out on the street, penniless and de...
