The MCA was valid from Oct 1st 2007, so terminal/''palliative'' sedation was a criminal offence (wilful neglect manslaughter)under the MCA from that date onwards....Who Let Binding and Hoche back into Medicine????https://www.blogger.com/profile/00541156089092672817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-42811372989429148512013-10-17T14:18:04.880-07:002013-10-17T14:18:04.880-07:00Hook up with DPAC and Black Triangle on facebook.....Hook up with DPAC and Black Triangle on facebook....we're sick of this attempt to get us to sign up for an early death to save money.....Who Let Binding and Hoche back into Medicine????https://www.blogger.com/profile/00541156089092672817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-75261553186188107662013-10-03T10:05:05.323-07:002013-10-03T10:05:05.323-07:00@Lennard Davis -

"Euthanasia" refers to the administration of a lethal concoction to cause a "peaceful" death and is not contingent on being within 6 months of death. From your sentence, it's not at all clear what "the former" refers to, since your terminology itself is unclear.<br /><br />If you don't think it's "accurate to equate the two" (which two?), you should perhaps spend more time berating so-called "right to die" groups. The Final Exit Network in the US and the proposed Quebec bill both conflate disability and being terminally ill - although I don't think I've heard you criticized folks on the other side for these tactics and rhetoric.<br /><br />I can assume that's either due to unbelievable ignorance on your part or a deliberate decision on your part to "right to die" groups alone when they engage in conflation.Stephen Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923726151589524620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-40410319141187570112013-10-02T04:35:25.946-07:002013-10-02T04:35:25.946-07:00Mark, I saw the news r.e.

Not a word on the last ADAPT made it into the press.<br />Middlechild, Australia and Canada are pushing hard for assisted suicide legislation. I am not positive legislation will be defeated. <br />Patti and Julie, Thanks for the kind words. I saw no dignity when Kevorkian killed people in the back of his VW bus or in a cheap motel with his lawyer's phone number. william Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223601480542461802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-66933121542575691112013-10-01T06:53:39.593-07:002013-10-01T06:53:39.593-07:00FYI, ADAPT made the Huffington Post, NY Times and ...FYI, ADAPT made the Huffington Post, NY Times and Washington Post yesterday.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150548154345478079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-47495833716552561462013-10-01T06:52:17.079-07:002013-10-01T06:52:17.079-07:00ADAPT Coverage:

Terminal sedation as you know is legal. Yes I am opposed to euthanasia.

...Thank you for another great post on this subject.<br /><br />I was struck by this thought whilst reading: No one who utters the words "death with dignity" should do so unless they first give more thought to the idea of LIFE with dignity. Anyone who hasn't given full attention to the lives of others first has no right to make appeals about death. I don't care how heartfelt it is. <br /><br />Housing, education, health care. This is what we should be discussing. <br /><br />Someone I know asked me to join a "Death Cafe." A nice liberal woman. The word "life" has been stolen by those who care about unborn babies but not lived lives, and even our so-called brightest people don't seem to know about the lived lives of anyone but themselves. . it all makes me rather heart sick.<br /><br />Thank goodness I do love my own life!

Right now there is a lot of discussion on this very thing because in Tasmania they are pushing a bill through Parliament to legalise killing terminal and disabled. Wesley J Smith reported on this http://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/359740/tasmania-seeks-broad-medicalized-killing-license-wesley-j-smith and he points out some flaws as he says "big enough to drive a hearse through." I got onto talkback radio yesterday when the announcer started using words like dignity, and loss of body control - and then said 80% of Australians would support a Bill like this...I got about ten seconds and was cut off... My husband felt about his life as you do - Sure thisgs were not great sometimes but life was good too...people don't seem to be able to understand...is it okay to share this commentary of course crediting with your name.Middle Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09962830669606760640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-63867714412136958422013-09-30T14:40:22.107-07:002013-09-30T14:40:22.107-07:00Are you against euthanasia or legal drug overdose ...Are you against euthanasia or legal drug overdose for those who have six months or less to live?
