Brit doctors admit practicing ’slow euthanasia’ on terminally-ill patients

A poll of nearly 3,000 doctors found that 18.7 per cent had administered drugs to keep patients suffering from painful conditions such as cancer unconscious for hours at a time.
Subjected to ‘continuous deep sedation’, many slip into a drug-induced coma before dying – perhaps days earlier than they would have done. It is often given without the patient or the family being fully appraised of the consequences.

thats horrible

Can’t argue with this. If someone is in terrible pain, give enough drugs to suppress the pain, especially if they can have some good time inbetween to settle affairs with love ones. Allowing people to starve to death or dehydrate is crinimal!

mac—I have to agree with you. If here’s no chance at all for recovery, it might as well be as painless as possible, but having said that, Was there no chance for recovery in all the patients that they put to sleep? My guess is some were put to death when the doctors knew they would have made it.

I have read articles about Brittian health care saying they just drugged peopple for like 6 months waiting for them to die with no other care. At a minimum a schedule should be established to allow some conscience time depending on the condition.

Alex’s new DVD “Fall of the Republic” is a great way to wake up the people in our towns. Everyone knows there is something wrong, but they can’t quite figure it out. This film shows the whole picture and the depth of corruption in the government.
I handed out about 120 copies Obama Deception and I plan to do the same for this one.
We all need to hand out copies all over our own towns because the more people we know who are awake, the better off we’re going to be.
I put up a website with the easy step-by-step method I use to make copies that play on even the cheapest DVD player and TV.
Check it out and see how easy it is to copy Alex’s movies (and other movies):

Mac, that is only partially correct.. When someone is close to death, that person actually begins refusing water and food. they are transitioning to the death stage and food and water is no longer wanted or needed. my husband and i home hospiced my Mother in law when she was diagnosed with colo-rectal cancer. I know.

this is true I worked in a nursing home for yrs those old people get tired of living when they get very sick they want to pass on, whats cruel is giving them chemo and those other painful treatments just so they can live a few more mths most don’t want to go that route, I had 1 old lady tell me she had died the nite before and came back she said there’s nothing to be scared of dying said she always wondered what it would be like and there was nothing to be afraid of at all, she died about 2 days later she was in her right mind to I really believe she had some sort of trial run and came back to tell people how peaceful dying really is however I think there gonna kill people before there time when this healthcare goes through whether there ready to go or not.

I live in the uk,and the opposite is true, they make sure the very old live on for ever, my mother in law has had a fortune spent on her, she is 85 now and we have to lose 3000 thats three thousand pounds a month to pay for her care, plus that has been payed for over a year now, but the nhs,funded thousands and thousands of pounds on her over the years,
now we have to pay out of family home, we will be looking at bieng homeless,and we are not getting any younger, do not believe all the news that you here,they always make out old people are having it hard,
If you check it out, there are more over 100 year olds in the uk now than any other country in the world, that says it all,

What alternatives would you propose, in the case of your mother-in-law..or in general.
Unfortunately, it is just a reality that old people…(& all of us, eventually end up old, hopefully) have to deal with health concerns which typically increase in number & in the damage to the person.
Health care should cover them, just as much as the rest of us.
I am sorry for the system which has placed such a financial hardship on your family, & can you elaborate on why your family is in such a position, when she has healthcare coverage?
I’m just not entirely clear on what your primary concern is.
The financial burden on your family? or that the govt. nhs has spent so much on her over the past years? My best wishes to you & your family & may your situation improve.

it is not about money. It is about suffering and the freedom to chose death.
October 29th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Lets be real: this isn’t being done out of compassion. It is, to put it bluntly, convenient & efficient for patients to not require any care except for another IV full of “juice”

lets be real it is very humane to not let people suffer.

This is to suck the money from the patient until they are broke. Then they are allowed to die. That is what hospice care does.

I agree. It is doubtless not motivated by compassion.

Over many years we have all been lied to by our Governments, but not just our Governments but many religous leaders. Many things we have been taught are not even in Scripture and millions have swallowed so many lies by these false prophets. If you are a truth seeker please visit the following web site and take the time to read some of the articles, you will be shocked.

That is already happening here. People just don’t pay enough attention to realize it. That is what they are doing…using a DNR written by the hospital and then talk them into signing. Once signed take away all nutrition and hydration. This is especially affecting seniors that are on medicaid. If they have a diagnoisis that they might not survive that’s when they press for a DNR. We learned the hard way that there is more in the DNR language than most people realize. Medicaid won’t pay to sustain life even if the person wants to try to a more natural cure. This is exactly what the gov. will do. Once you receive a poor diagnosis, you don’t have the right to live.

life is a terminal illness.
October 29th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
They should not be criticized for this. They are only “slow” at this point because they haven’t learned where the accelerator is. America will show them how to do it “fast”!

My grandfather died from lung cancer (spread VERY fast) and we all agreed as family that we kept him connected only to oxygen and physiological serum. That and some very powerful painkillers (such as tramal or morphine) on a clinic. We all knew there was nothing left to do and we knew he was suffering A LOT. I think those doctors just said what it’s obvious: keep the pain away while waiting for the obvious ending on a terminal disease (like spreaded cancer and such).
October 29th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Thats what they did to my mother.
The truth is, it was a better death than the one she was facing.
She was dying from cancer, and her passing was a lot more comfortable… for her, and for the living.

Congratulations to the British doctors for ignoring religious discompassion!
Religious nutters love nothing more than seeing terminally ill people in severe pain!
All loving my arse…in fact the complete opposite!!!

My Grandfather suffered this. He was diagnosed late with Parkinsons, too late to be cured. They then denied him water, claiming that he was pestering nurses. He almost died of a urinary tract infection. Once we worked out what was happening (Grandad found it hard to communicate), we rushed him into a private hospice.
But wait, my Aunt died of cancer. She was mis-diagnosed with a bad back for years, during which they prescribed her pain-killers. When the symptoms were un-missable, it was too late.
America, don’t follow the utter eugenics of Obama care, unless you want this visited upon you and your family. I dare not get ill in Britain!
