‘What should be done with elderly Americans
when they become very seriously ill? Should we try to save their lives or
should we just let them die? Unfortunately, there is a growing consensus among
the "intellectual elite" that most elderly people are not going to
have a high enough "quality of life" to justify the expense of costly
life saving procedures. This philosophy is now being promoted very
heavily through mainstream news outlets, in our television shows and in big
Time
Magazine has just come out with a very shocking cover story entitled "How To Die". The article goes on and on about how
wonderful and compassionate it is to remove life saving treatment from sick
relatives.
A
recent article by Mike Adams summarized the message
of this disgusting article....
Inside,
the magazine promotes a cost-saving death agenda that encourages readers to
literally “pull the feeding tubes” from their dying elderly parents, causing
them to dehydrate and die. This is explained as a new cost-saving measure that
drastically reduces return hospital visits by the elderly… yeah, because dead
people don’t return to the hospital, of course.
Many
of you also probably remember the Newsweek cover story from a couple years ago
that was entitled "The Case for Killing Granny".
Underneath
that shocking title was the following phrase: “Curbing excessive end-of-life
care is good for
According
to the author of that article,
spending less money on the elderly is the key to successful health care
reform....
The
idea that we might ration health care to seniors (or anyone else) is political
anathema. Politicians do not dare breathe the R word, lest they be accused—however
wrongly—of trying to pull the plug on Grandma. But the need to spend less money
on the elderly at the end of life is the elephant in the room in the
health-reform debate. Everyone sees it but no one wants to talk about it. At a
more basic level, Americans are afraid not just of dying, but of talking and
thinking about death. Until Americans learn to contemplate death as more than a
scientific challenge to be overcome, our health-care system will remain
unfixable.
Sadly,
articles like that one are becoming quite frequent in mainstream media sources.
Just
a few days ago, a Bloomberg article entitled "How 'Death Panels'
Can Prolong Life" declared that we must "deny treatment to people
who want it" in order to hold down costs....
In
short, all the Republican talk during the health-care- reform debate about “death
panels” was melodramatic and unfair, but not ridiculous. One way or another,
holding down health-care costs will require policies that deny treatment to people
who want it. And want it because it will extend their lives.
This
goes on already, all the time. Health insurance companies have been known to
deny payment for treatments deemed unnecessary. Age limits for organ
transplants are another example. All policies that involve denying care because
of “quality of life” considerations are, in effect, “death panels.” But no
society can afford to give every citizen every possible therapy. Medicare is
going broke trying.
So
who are we supposed to deny treatment to?
The elderly of course.
According
to that Bloomberg article, we are supposed to kill off our sick grandparents
because the "quality of life" they would be expected to have if they
recover would not be enough to warrant spending so much to save them....
A
$200,000 operation can add a year or two to the life of an octogenarian, or it
can save decades of life for younger people. In a country like the
This
is the kind of thinking that starts happening in a society that dramatically
devalues life.
If
human life has little value, then it is easy to start justifying things that
would have once been unthinkable.
For
example, one surgeon is now suggesting that we should start harvesting organs
from patients before they die....
Dr.
Paul Morrissey, an associate professor of surgery at Brown University's Alpert
Medical School, wrote in The American Journal of Bioethics that the protocol
known as donation after cardiac death -- meaning death as a result of
irreversible damage to the cardiovascular system -- has increased the number of
organs available for transplant, but has a number of limitations, including the
need to wait until the heart stops.
Because
of the waiting time, Morrissey said that about one-third of potential donors
end up not being able to donate, and many organs turn out to not be viable as a
result.
Instead,
he argues in favor of procuring kidneys from patients with severe irreversible
brain injury whose families consent to kidney removal before their cardiac and
respiratory systems stop functioning.
Do
you want your organs harvested before you are dead?
Sadly,
those that often do need organ transplants the most these days are often denied
for "quality of life" issues as well.
For
example, at one
These
are the kinds of decisions that are being made by doctors and by health
insurance companies all over
And
did you know that life-ending drugs are going to be 100% free under Obamacare?
I did
not know this until I read a Christian Post article the
other day....
A
Christian-based legal defense alliance is warning Americans who already believe
that President Barack Obama's health care plan is a bad idea that the "ObamaCare mandate is worse than you think."
"Everyone
likes a good surprise, but no one likes a bad surprise. So, you're really not
going to like the surprises buried in the 2,700 pages of this document,"
says the narrator of a short video produced by the
"Did
you know that with ObamaCare you will have to pay for
life-saving drugs, but life-ending drugs are free. One hundred percent free. If this plan were really about
health care wouldn't it be the other way around?"
Apparently
they want to make it as easy to off yourself and your relatives as possible.
So
where is all of this headed?
Are
we eventually going to become like the
In
the
Is
that what we want?
Do we
want government agents going door to door to help people die?
As I
have written about previously, the elite believe that the world is massively
overpopulated and they believe that all of us are ruining their planet.
So
they love euthanasia, abortion and pretty much anything else that will result in
more people ending up dead.

are your thoughts about all of this? Please feel free to post a comment with
