Euthanasia By Stealth In Ireland
Read this. Then tell me whether you would feel safe, if you had a physical or mental disability. Even if you had a learning disability, you might become subject to a “Do Not Resuscitate” order that had not been discussed with you or your family. This is called “euthanasia by stealth.”
But the problem is not, what is the exact diagnosis? The problem is, what do we owe all human beings, regardless of diagnosis?
The word “terminal” used to mean, in the actual process of dying. A chart might read, “Unresponsive, blood pressure falling, respiration irregular, appears terminal.” But now the word means, “Expected to die in a specific time.” That includes everyone. Often 6 months is mentioned. But estimates of expected survival are notoriously inaccurate, in both directions.
Let us reserve the word “terminal” for the place we get a bus or train. Let us treat human beings as what they are: individuals, with their own unique circumstances. That way, when someone in a white coat enters our room, we won’t have to wonder whether they are doctors trying to help us, or agents of the government trying to hasten our exit from this world for the purpose of cost containment.
If you doubt this, look up Josef Mengele, MD, PhD.
