In one of the most daring moves to legalize Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS), a form of euthanasia, and present it as acceptable mainstream views and medical practice, End of Life (EOL) and Right to Die (RTD) proponents set a plan in motion that not only identifies and defines specific chronic diseases as terminal, but rations health care in the process for people with these chronic diseases.These chronic diseases include cardiac disease, lung disease, ALS, AIDS, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and even alcohol and drug addicts, just to name a few.
EOL and RTD seeks access to patients with certain disease categories; diseases that people live with for decades before they may succumb to critical illness or death from the disease itself.
Too many Americans die unnecessarily bad deaths; deaths caused by inadequate support, inadequate compassion, and inadequate human presence leading to nursing home abuse and neglect. Deaths preceded by fear, anxiety, loneliness, isolation, and deaths where nursing home patients suffer a loss of dignity and choice. (North Country)
