California Approves Nurse-assisted Suicide

[Didymus]

I was just responding to picchick.. She was talking about this topic months ago and it doesn't seem like folks cared till WND came out with it..

thats why I said "world net daily" because when I said she should have written for "WND" she said she doesn't know what that is

I guess that I shouldn't have compared hospice to assisted suicide since that implies that the patient is choosing to die. Rather, I should of said that it was similar to euthanasia rather than suicide.

And yes, he was only telling me what WND was.

The hospice you describe is plain poor care, not at all what Hospice is supposed to be.
Such care should probably be reported.

It is more reliable than ABC, CBS, NBC amd NPR.

it's reliable to some people, because some people rely on it for a right wing slant on news stories..

While others rely on ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN for a left wing slant to theirs...

I second that question. My first response when I read the article was involuntarily shouting out "that's disgusting!". So any news on it not being true would be very much appreciated. However, I doubt anyone could spin a story like that far enough either way to distort the fact of the bill being passed or not passed.

She described several hospices, not just one.

All of which would fully support this... least that's one thing the right wing WND has going for it that it rightly opposes such support of evil...

For those in Washington State, an Assisted Suicide Law is on the November ballot. Initiative 1000. It's modeled after Oregon's Assisted Suicide Law. Any person who values life (in WA state) should make it a point of mailing in your ballot (or go to your polling place if you still have one), even if it's just on this issue. (Oh, and Dino Rossi for Governor. )

No, I'm sure they did.

The Bosnian War really happened, I doubt you'd consider Noam Chomsky's analysis of it realiable.

It is not assisted suicide. It is not founded on that principle, yet I believe that it is becoming closer and closer to that.[/quote]
Yes, it has been moving in that direction for some time (at least since the late 1980s when my father was dying of pancreatic cancer).

No, it is hospice care from several different areas and several different origins. Now I am in a new area and the same is happening. You are making an understatement. It is poor care but it is more so neglect. However, it is widespread among many different companies. I have reported these situations. Nothing has come of it. To report hospice is like trying to show the world that snow is actually dirty. In other words, people refuse to see the poor care and the neglect within the hospice organization because of the nice mission they have.

Yes, thank you.

I would like to hear what had happened then. Would you be able to PM me?
