What You Don't Know about Stealth Euthanasia Can Kill You!

What do you know about...

• terminal sedation
• POLST
• living wills that can kill you
• "futile care" provisions to hasten your death (Think death panels.)
• false declarations of death

St. Francis University in Loretto, PA is hosting a conference on November 15th, Defending Life at Risk in a Throwaway Culture. Want to learn more? See their brochure here.  I'm hoping to go.

Modern Murder: Euthanasia is Here!

If you don't know what's going on in the medical profession, your life is in danger. In a culture of death, the groups most vulnerable are the weak: the young, the old, and the handicapped. What you don't know can kill you. I personally know of several people whose lives were prematurely ended in the way described in this article. Be on guard! Not all doctors are Dr. Death, but there are enough today that you can't trust blindly. Get second opinions from trustworthy sources. Ask for the medical charts. Don't let your loved one be killed by the "compassionate" medical team. Remember, it was doctors who killed the "useless eaters" in Nazi Germany. Hitler never imposed euthanasia, the doctors requested it. Hitler just extended their logic when he created the death camps to take care of the "subhuman" race. This nurse is giving witness to the horrendous reality of the culture of death. Its next target may be you or someone you love.

Are you being targeted for euthanasia?

By Mary Therese Helmueller, R.N.

In 1984, while working as charge nurse in the intensive care unit, a 20-year-old man asked, "Can you give my mother enough morphine to let her sleep away?" I was horrified. "I can not kill your mother," I responded. That was only the beginning. Recently, an 80-year-old was admitted to the emergency room and the physician said, "LET'S DEHYDRATE HER"; one more patient was sentenced to die in hospice with NO TERMINAL DIAGNOSIS and once again, THE LIVING WILL determined the death of a 70-year-old man regardless of how he pleaded to live. I can no longer remain silent.

    Your life may be in danger if you are admitted to a hospital, especially if you are over 65 or have a chronic illness or a disability. The elderly are frequently dying three days after being admitted to the hospital.. Some attribute it to "old age syndrome" while others admit that overdosing is all too common. Euthanasia is not legal but it is being practiced. Last year the New England Journal of Medicine reported that 1 in 5 critical care nurses admit to having hastened the death of the terminally ill! I believe the percentage is much higher. I have worked with nurses who even admit to overdosing their parents. No one knows the exact euthanasia rate in the United States, however Dr. Dolan from the University of Minnesota states that 40 percent of all reported deaths is probably a conservative estimation. If this is true then the United States is executing euthanasia at a higher percentage rate than the Netherlands where it is also illegal but widely practiced.

    Did you know that many doctors and nurses whom we trust are speaking openly about their desire to practice euthanasia? In fact they are even speaking about ending their OWN lives when they reach the age of 65 or BEFORE if diagnosed with an illness. Some even admit to stealing the drugs for their own lethal injection. Think about it. These are the same people who will determine the value of YOUR life. If they do not value their own, how can you expect them to value yours?
