Being born with Arthrogryposis, I started having respiratory problems in 1993, going on 42 years old. By 2000, I had to close my apartment and move into long-term care.
All my life I have needed people's help to do basic life essentials, and had to live with others, except for four years when I had an apartment.
There I had home-care workers, but got stuck several times when they didn't feel like coming to help. Between low standard home-care workers, and a problem with my food situation, I had a respiratory failure. When situations never improved, I had to apply for long-term care.
In eight years I've been around alot of people who have died. One thing I will say is that, if euthanasia in any shape or form was legalized, these people would not have been able to die with dignity.
By all means, I have witnessed the benefit of palliative care. My wife died from Cystic Fibrosis in 2006. She died with dignity, dignity which would have been stripped from her, if execution (oops!--euthanasia) had been legalized.
When euthanasia is legalized, it becomes marching orders. Just read this doctor's explanation:
http://www.ethicsandmedicine.com/18/1/18-1-vermaat.htm
The greatest threat to people's safety in healthcare in Canada raised its ugly head in November 2007. The (dis)Grace Hospital in Winnipeg bullied their way to executing Samuel Golobuchuk, and virtually sneered at his legal guardian, due to their moral and religious values. Samuel Golobuchuk's case showed that living wills or Advanced Directives are basically ripped-up, any time doctors want to finish somebody off.
When the Supreme Court intervened, the Manitoba College of Physicians and Surgeons bullied their way anyway, to publish their policy. Even when Mr. Golobochuk recovered, instead of saying, "oh, we would have made a mistake if we had terminated him", they demanded that they have the last say.
Hospitals in North America have gone full-throttle with the "Futility Clause", and I think it is time to SLAM-on-the-BRAKES! My friend's sister was executed in January at the Royal Victoria in Montreal, after she passed out at a party.
The reason there is so much support for legalized euthanasia is because of the propaganda and control of the media, by the "Right-to-Die Societies"! I noticed that W-5 never published my response to the documentary, "Suicide Tourists".
The Coumbiases were so effective at insulting the Swiss government, that they decided to become "more advanced in their thinking", as he put it.--So Switzerland decided to lower the age, so even teenagers can get help to die.
The fact that these intellectual terrorists are now a network of groups called "Right-to-Die Societies" illustrates that this movement is a "social network"!
Disability Rights groups call them the "Culture of Death"! They have lied to the world population and pretended that what moves them, is compassion for the terminally ill.
They worked on that nerve for many years, and they scared people to believe they needed their services. Gullible people get caught in their trap, and contrary to the documentary "Suicide Tourists", alot of people who went to Dignitas and changed their minds, were told that they did not come there to go back home.
The Culture of Death exploits everyone they can. Supposedly, Francine Lalonde who has drafted Bill C-562, has cancer. I've studied her bill, and both this and C-47 are highly offensive.
People who are suffering any form of cancer, or other terminal illnesses need to be respected and appreciated. They need people around them who value them as civilized people.
If all treatments eventually fail, they need palliative care. They need to be made comfortable, and if they have pain, it needs to be managed.--They don't need a legalized execution.
Francine Lalonde claims that there are people who have no resources available, who are suffering.--That is false! Anybody in Canada can get to a hospital, a clinic and a doctor's office.
I don't think Francine Lalonde, Svend Robinson or anybody else can tell me anything about intolerable pain.
In May and June this year I had a crisis, and it required an emergency tracheasectomy. The anaesthesist could not intubate me before having lazer surgery to destroy a stone in my bladder.
Getting a trachea in postponed the surgery for about another month. During that time I had complications from the trachea, my cathetar, and also an open sore which developed from being in bed 24/7. The pain was so severe, I needed powerful pain-killers, and it was effective.
This year I experienced something in two ICU's, which I never experienced before.--The doctors were very good. Although mistakes were made, they were not deliberate mistakes. The problem arose with some of the nurses.
Several times in one ICU, a nurse was intent to just let me die of a heart-attack from an IV overdose, just because the monitor showed my saturation and pulse seemed to be alright.
It was only when I'd ask the nurse to check my blood-pressure, and once I had to refuse treatment, before the nurse would call the doctor.--Then they would realize all hell was breaking loose!
There seems to be such a pathetic attitude with alot of healthcare workers, that they really don't care if somebody dies anymore. This is the effect the Culture of Death is having on healthcare itself.
From what I've read of other Disability Rights activists, if there are people who want to die so badly, let them die, and get it over with.--But, do not legalize it!
Euthanasia and assisted-suicide are the same thing, because the end result is the same. The person or persons are dead! Euthanasia is not a debate. Euthanasia is a crime against humanity.
Right-to-Die = Doctors' Right!--We Die!
"Right-to-Die Societies" means mass killings are a social policy. Since I live in a long-term care facility, legalized euthanasia is a direct threat to my right to live as long as I can.
Homeless people, people on welfare and anybody who is unemployable will ultimately be added to a list to exterminate, if euthanasia is ever legalized.
