Excepts from Stealth Euthanasia.(1)
A paragraph from Ron Panzer's 2013 online book, Stealth Euthanasia:
You may be surprised but today, many people have adopted the "quality of life" ethic where it's "ok" to end someone's life because they are seriously disabled, very elderly, have dementia or any number of other reasons.
Many of us have become numb to the killings so that we accept an increasingly larger category of lies that may be ended in a medical setting.
And many times, we don't call them "killings. " We say, "We let him go." "It was time." and to "let go" is certainly appropriate when someone is truly at the end of life, but when someone is not imminently dying and they end up dead, it really is a "medical killing."

A journey
I will be out of the City until the New Year 2015 so there will be no blog entries until then.
Just remember:
Medical DNRs have to be consented to by a patient otherwise they are illegal. A DNR can hasten your death by days, weeks, months or years caused by errors, greed and apathy. (mistakes, coercion, abuse, quality of life lies, exhaustion). Did you know there are four levels of intervention at VCH; four different DNRs.
Although DNRs are commonly forced on patients I have yet to read of a doctor being charged with culpable attempted homicide. In Randy's case he was able to live another five months. The health professionals all knew when a patient is going to die; it isn't a hidden science. In fact I should never have been banned by the bullies of George Peasrson Centre. I have yet to get a name of anyone who fabricated. Like Hilter said the bigger the lie the more the people will believe. I am rather disappointed in the legal system who took Dunne's medical assessment as correct. He said Randy plateaued when in fact when no evidence was given.. In Any event on April 4 2014 Randy had septis and he was having multiple organ failure. Dr. Dunne should have called me immediately so I would be with him. He is a man with no compassion or feelings. But then he didn't have to as he hide behind a court order that could have been varied at any time. I want him tested for psychopathy..Then I will know it wasn't his fault as he won't have known what harm he was doing. Dr. Robert Hare is at UBC and the test would take less than an hour. Dr. Dunne should take it to prove his innocence.

Christmas 2010
Randy was at George Pearson Centre. During the Christmas Party Tanu, the head nurse, said Randy was not up to going. This was not true. She was establishing her power. The others nurses said nothing.
Much like when I was looking at the headlines to the Province on the community table, Tanu grabbed it and said to buy my own. Where is it written that it was her job to guard the Province. Her job is to nurse not to engage herself over nothing.. No matter what I did she would find fault in me.
Tanu told me the first time I saw her at GPC that she could arrange that I never see Randy again. Where did she get that power or has she managed over the years to do that to other family members. Why would she say that to me.
She allowed Willey to cook gourmet spicy meals for himself in the community kitchen so patients like Randy had to suffer the smell as he could not eat. It was torture. Did she care. She was told over and over to cease this and she still allowed it to happen. What cruelty. This woman who told me that I wasn't allowed to speak to anyone unless they spoke to me first and then she would go around telling everyone not to talk to me. She did her best to isolate me and Randy from everyone. I wasn't even allowed to use the toilet unless a security guard accompanied me. Humiliation after humiliation.The woman also made sure that the curtains circulating Randy would also be closed;. Management knew of these things and yet they did nothing. Dr. Dunne was of the opinion that others patients needed their privacy even if such privacy would cause harm; Randy could die.
Randy was put in a pod where curtains were pulled all around him so the nurses or anyone else could hardly see him should he be in trouble as he could not call out for help or use a call bell. Where in hell did that woman come from. When she is on holidays everything goes well. When she is there a heavy atmosphere of dread is there. I still want to know how her friend Willey was allowed to live at GPC for eight years although he had a his own house to live in. I assume he never trusted GPC and he lived there until his wife died. And all the staff on the ward was afraid of him; they all wanted to be his friend so he won't create fault to attack them.
Whilley was a bully. He enjoyed upsetting people like when he told me he had a petition signed by all the nurses that they did not want me on the ward. He also told me other things that were insulting and untrue and I told this to GPCand they did nothing.
I would write notes to the social worker, Sam Greenspoon, about the bullying and what did he do to the notes which should have been kept, he told me he threw them out. So much for expecting help from a social worker in the employ of Vancouver Coastal Health. A social worker who said he worked for Randy and me. Destroy all evidence of bullying; what other evidence has he destroyed.
Even on the 18th of November, 2013, the day Randy should have died and Tanu knew and everyone else including Dr. Dunne and Ro Ang, Randy would die that night. Tanu told me that I wasn't allowed to stay with Randy at his bedside past 8:00 pm.
At 11:30 pm I got a phone call saying that Randy was dying. I raced to GPC saw Randy gasping for air. I was able to call 911 as Randy was wanting to live. Randy was chronic but he could have lived for years. Randy did not consent to a DNR or a DNT. He was in a death room with no one there. GPC was so wanting Randy to die that night that they forgot to mention to the late night nurse NOT to phone me until after Randy died. Randy did not die that night: faulty miscommunication..
Next step was for VCH to get me banned forever on hearsay evidence.
Randy was 57. I am 70. Randy liked older women.

Collateral Damage
Remind those who are for euthanasia/assisted suicide/medically assisted death that such deaths might be due to mistakes, coercion or abuse. Who speaks for the dead after death. Say NO, NO, NO.
If this is taken out of the Canadian Criminal Code then it is open season to kill. What punishments will there be for mistakes, coercion or abuse. Do you trust your doctor, do you trust your family. Everyone of us is vulnerable. With our racing medical advances and legalities, no doctor can keep up: even they are vulnerable should he or his family become ill.
Can anyone live with the thought that you put someone down; at the moment it may seem the right thing to do, but years later it will still be there to haunt you over and over...
Anyone who is a position to make these death decisions should be tested by Dr. Robert Hare to determine if the anyone is psychopathic or not. It is the psychopaths among us who are pushing death as it gives them a commonality to belong to, a group who share no remorse. And these human robots are on their way to controlling us.

Tell your Senator and MP to Vote No to euthanasia/assisted suicide
from Quebec Blog "Living with Dignity"
Bill S-225 was recently introduced in the Senate of Canada. This bill aims to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide. It would do this by amending sections 14 and 251 of the Criminal Code of Canada. We oppose the legalization of euthanasia and physician assisted suicide because they are not needed. Efforts should go towards improving proper access to pain and symptom management to everyone who needs it. Efforts should also go towards improving suicide prevention and appropriate access to services for people with disabilities.
It is important we all speak to our Senators to ask them to vote NO and reject Bill S-225.
Senate Bill S-225 is based on MP Stephen Fletcher's own bills in the House of Commons (C-581 and C-582). Bill S-225 will be debated in the Senate early in 2015. The language on the bill is open to interpretation and opens the door for abuse. Safeguards don't protect people from abuse of euthanasia or physician assisted laws, but this bill is particularly bad news.
It would be easy, although erroneous, to think the so-called safeguards in the bill are solid. A closer look and analysis show significant problems.
Some of significant problems with Bill S-225
Adults only
Section 3(a) requires people to be 18 years old or more. However, there have already been calls to remove the age limit because it would be discrimination to deny access to euthanasia to younger people.Illness, disease or disability
Section 3(c) requires people to have been diagnosed by a physician as having an illness, a disease or a disability, including disabilities caused by traumatic injuries. This opens up the door to a wide interpretation of the eligibility criteria. People with non-terminal and non-degenerative condition could be deemed eligible.Physical or psychological suffering
Section 3(c)(i) requires that the person be enduring physical or psychological suffering that they deem intolerable, and that cannot be alleviated by any treatment acceptable by the person.This is a highly subjective criterion that cannot be properly evaluated. It would be impossible to use this criterion to deny a request. The statistics out of Oregon show that a very small percentage of people requesting physician assisted suicide do so because of physical suffering. In Belgium, a healthy 70 year old woman was euthanized after she became depressed due to the end of a long-term relationship. In the Netherlands, a 63 year old man was also euthanized because he was depressed and lonely after he retired.
Weakened capacities with no chance of improvement
Section 3(c)(ii) requires that the person is in a state of weakened capacities with no chance of improvement. What does that mean, exactly? Many people with disabilities or elderly individuals meet this criterion.Sound mind
Section 3(d) requires the person to be of sound mind and fully able to understand the information provided. It is well known that depression is a significant risk factor in requests for euthanasia. In fact someone dealing with depression is 4 times more likely to request euthanasia. The number of euthanasia request granted for psychiatric patients in the Netherlands is growing exponentially.Free choice
Section 3(e) requires the person to be acting voluntarily, free from coercion or undue influence. This is another criterion that is impossible to judge. Elder abuse is a growing problem and generally under-reported. In the Flanders region of Belgium, a third of euthanasias were done without explicit request.Reporting requirements
Section 13 requires physicians to report the death of people they provided assistance to die to the Minister of Health within 30 days. As the person is already dead, it is not a safeguard. At best it will serve to gather data. However, no physician would self-report wrong-doing. Such reporting requirements do not guarantee that euthanasias or assisted deaths will be reported. 23% of euthanasias in the Netherlands were not reported. Nearly half of euthanasias in Flanders (Belgium) were not reported.Vote No
Canada will not be different and these requirements are not going to protect people very well, nor very long. Regardless of your position on euthanasia and assisted suicide, you should oppose Bill S-225 as it is poorly written and provides no real safeguards..
