Daughter saves mother, 80, left by doctors to starve
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article6869646.ece

“My mother was going to be left to starve and dehydrate to death. It really is a subterfuge for legalised euthanasia of the elderly on the NHS.”

I remember my eighth grade teacher telling me I was completely WRONG when I told the class about abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia. Abortion? Teacher was pro-choice. Infanticide? He said it did NOT exist. Euthanasia? Nope…. But HE was wrong.

2009 marks the 40th anniversary of legalized abortion in Canada. At this point, only partial infanticide is legal – as long as the baby’s head is still inside. And ask any Canadian palliative care doctor about euthanasia. It happens, but is not “legal” yet. But they are working on it…

http://www.stopbillc-384.com/

• Bill C-384 would legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada. (For the purpose of the analysis, euthanasia and assisted suicide will be referred to as “intended death”.)

• Bill C-384 does not restrict intended death to Canadian citizens. (The bill could make Canada a destination for Suicide Tourists and Suicide Clinics).

• The individual would need to be at least 18 years old.

• Bill C-384 does not limit intended death to the terminally ill and it does not define terminal illness.

• The individual may refuse appropriate treatments and still die by an intended death.

• Bill C-384 allows intended death for people who experience depression or other chronic mental conditions.

• Bill C-384 measures competency based on “appearing to be lucid”. The term “appearing to be lucid” does not assure that the individual is actually lucid.

• Bill C-384 would allow intended death for incompetent people who stated their intentions while still competent.

• The language of the bill is not clear whether medical practitioners are the only individuals who can intend the death of an incompetent individual.

• Bill C-384 would require at least two medical practitioners to confirm the diagnosis in writing.

• Bill C-384 would require that all requests for intended death be made free of duress. (However, no assurances are built into the bill)

• Bill C-384 would require the medical practitioner to inform the individual of all alternatives. (There is no requirement to try effective treatments).

• Bill C-384 would require the medical practitioner to provide confirmation of the diagnosis to the coroner. This is a form of after-the-fact reporting. The medical practitioner is only required to file a report after the individual has died. This is to protect the medical practitioner and not the individual who is dead.

• The definition of medical practitioner is not limited to a physician.

Euthanasia Quotes:

Condemned German: “But we didn’t think it would go that far.”
American judge: “It went that far the very first time you condemned an innocent human being.”
Conversation in the American motion picture “Judgment at Nuremburg.”

“I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel.”
The Hippocratic Oath

“I have yet to hear of a set of guidelines for euthanasia which would not lead to terrible abuses even in the opinion of those physicians who are sometimes willing to practice it. Inevitably, this form of ‘therapy’ would spread to situations in which at present it would be unthinkable.”
Jonathan H. Pincus, M.D., Yale University

“You matter because you are you.
You matter to the last moment of your life,
and we will do all we can,
not only to help you die peacefully,
but also to live until you die.”
Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of Hospice

“A man, even if seriously sick or prevented in the exercise of its higher functions, is and will be always a man … [he] will never become a ‘vegetable’ or an ‘animal… The intrinsic value and personal dignity of every human being does not change depending on their circumstances… Euthanasia is a grave violation of the law of God, since it is the deliberate and morally unacceptable killing of a human person.”
Pope John Paul II

Record Breaking Granny: 1,400 Relatives
http://blogs.abcnews.com/theworldnewser/2009/09/record-breaking-granny-1400-relatives.html

Imagine if her mother had been pro-choice and aborted her.

“The Jewish commandment to be ‘fruitful and multiply’… Among the ultra orthodox jewish community large families are seen as a blessing.”

The Jewish commandment. I wonder where they got that idea. :-/

“In recent years the demographic mix of the city’s population has been changing as a result.”

Assuming because of religious folks like this. Hmmm…

Abortion killings worldwide overtake WW2 slaughter
http://spuc-director.blogspot.com/2009/09/abortion-killings-worldwide-overtake.html

“About 55 million people were killed during the 1939-45 conflict, but 57 million unborn children have been killed since 1967 in Britain and the United States of America alone. This is not to mention the deaths of human embryos through in vitro fertilisation procedures and the countless deaths of human embryos through abortifacient birth control.”

Lawmakers Confirm House Health Care Bill Promotes Euthanasia Among Elderly
http://www.lifenews.com/bio2896.html

“Two Republican leaders in the House of Representatives are confirming reports that the health care restructuring bill the House is currently considering promotes euthanasia…”

“Section 1233 of the House-drafted legislation encourages health care providers to provide their Medicare patients with counseling on ‘the use of artificially administered nutrition and hydration’ and other end of life treatments.”

“That section ‘may place seniors in situations where they feel pressured to sign end of life directives they would not otherwise sign…’”

“‘The message is clear: government can save money by encouraging old people to die a little sooner than they otherwise would. Instead of being regarded with reverence, and cherished, human life is subject in this view to a utilitarian cost-benefit calculus and can be sacrificed to serve fiscal policy and the sacred imperative of trimming a budget…”

How long until we abort the old too?
By Peter Hitchens
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1200583/PETER-HITCHENS-How-long-abort-old-too.html?ITO=1490

“Are we going to do the same thing to the unwanted old that we do to unwanted babies? That is to say, are we going to kill lots of them off, and pretend that this is just fine?” “I think so. The only question is how we will do it, and what we will call it.”

“Aborted babies are slaughtered by the tens of thousands, solely because they are inconvenient to young, busy people…”

“Brain Death” as Criteria for Organ Donation is a “Deception”: Bereaved Mother
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/feb/09022306.html

“Bernice Jones came to Rome last week to tell the world that doctors killed her son by removing his organs. ‘Brain death is not death’ and ‘organ donation is very deceptive.’”

“Brandon died, she claimed, while his organs, including his still-beating heart, were removed in surgery. ‘Our son had been dissected alive and in doing so, killed.’”

Demographic Winter: The Greatest Crisis Humanity Will Face This Century
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009_docs/DonFederRoseDinnerspeech.pdf
http://www.demographicwinter.com/index.html

The following are quotes from a speech by Don Feder:

“Worldwide, there are six million fewer children under 6 years-of-age today than there were in 1990.”

“In 1979, the average woman on this planet had 6 children. Today, the average is 2.9 children, and falling.”

“In Russia today, there are more abortions than live births.”

“Currently, in industrialized nations, 20% of the population is over 60. By mid-point in this century, the proportion of elderly in developed nations will rise to 32%. By then, these nations will have two senior citizens for every child. Schools will be turned into nursing homes. Playgrounds will become graveyards.”

“Demographic Winter is the terminal stage in the suicide of the West –the culmination of a century of evil ideas and poisonous policies. Among them:

• Abortion – As I mentioned a moment ago, worldwide, we’re killing 42 million people a year. It’s as if an invading army killed every man woman and child in Italy – then repeated the process every year.
• Contraception – For the first time in history, just under half the world’s population of childbearing age uses some form of birth control. Some of us remember when births weren’t controlled and pregnancies weren’t planned. With all of wailing about man-made Global Warming, carbon footprints and the ozone layer, wouldn’t it be ironic if what did us in wasn’t the SUV but the IUD?
• Delayed marriage. People are marrying later and later After 35, it becomes progressively harder for a woman to have children.
• The decline of marriage and the rise of cohabitation. Not surprisingly, in relationships without commitment, people have fewer children. By the way, the left’s contribution to the coming population crisis is to push the one type of “marriage” (and I use the term advisedly) that can’t conceivably produce children.
• But perhaps the most important factor is a culture (including Hollywood, the news media and academia) that tells people that children are a burden, rather than a joy; that pushes an ego-driven, live-for-the-moment ethic; a culture that tells us that contentment comes from careers, love, friendship, pets, possessions, travel, personal growth – anything and everything except family and children. It’s a culture that can look at Sarah Palin and her beautiful family and ask why she had to have 5 children and why she didn’t abort her child with Downs Syndrome?”

“Speaking of falling birth rates, here’s a depressing thought: Maybe it’s God’s way of telling us that – having abused the privilege – we don’t deserve children. Deuteronomy 30:19: ‘I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you. I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.’”

“Think about it. What could be more fair? You choose life, and you get life – including descendants. You choose death – in the form of population control, contraception, abortion, alternative lifestyles (so-called), secularism, environmentalism, consumerism and materialism – and you get death, including no descendants.”

“Once people truly understand this, perhaps they’ll stop aborting their children. Perhaps they’ll stop preventing conception. Perhaps they’ll start having large families again. Perhaps they’ll give children the love they need and deserve. If humanity is to have a future, this is where it starts.”
