 merrie says: ...there is a check list in the middle of the document that specifically asks questions about "What makes your life worth living?”. It is a checklist that doesn’t just include needing a feeding tube or being on permanent life support, the questions are absolutely, in my opinion, insane. These questions are being asked to all Veterans receiving treatment, including 20 year olds who have been severely wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan. I have listed all of the questions below so you can see for yourself: Click on link to view survey list of questions. http://maggiesnotebook.blogspot.com/2009/08/veteran-end-of-life-questions-vets.html These questions are followed by the questions below: “If you checked "worth living, but just barely" for more than one factor, would a combination of these factors make your life "not worth living?" If so, which factors? If you checked "not worth living," does this mean that you would rather die than be kept alive? If you checked “can’t answer now,” what information or people do you need to help you decide?” What the hell kind of questions are these to be asking Veterans who have just risked their lives to keep America safe from terrorists? What kind of person would ask a 20 year old quadriplegic if they would rather die than be in a wheelchair or a burden to his/her family or if they have the blues? Of course they would have the blues in this case and of course no one wants to be in a wheelchair and of course no one wants to be a burden on their family but to suggest to a Veteran that these answers possibly mean they would ‘rather die than be kept alive’ is atrocious, outrageous, disgusting, immoral,... Veteran End of Life Questions: FOX NEWS video Also see: [Jonah Goldberg] Prologue: Throwing Tammy Duckworth under the Bus Paranoid, I'm gonna get killed any minute person. Still at it? America went Iraq without the backing of the U.N. America continually starts wars , sets up coups and puppet dictatorships in other countries. But why the hell do you always think somebody's just gonna terrorize you. Don't believe the Hype. God knows -you are the hype personified. Watch out for that thing over there! Why what is it? I dunno. Think I'm a genius. Just be careful. It doesn't look the same as you & me & we should be careful. Good thinking -pass it on. I'm scared that you think like you do, but I don't think your a terrorist. Try to look at things from many points of view, just as an exercise, and it may help you be more objective. |
