Barack Obama was in Denver<br>> preaching to a crowd of thousands of fans about the "change" he wants <br>> to see in<br>> the United States, his party compatriots in the California Legislature <br>> were<br>> making a "change," by approving a controversial plan that would allow <br>> nurses to<br>> assist terminally ill patients with suicide.<br>> <br>> "AB 2747 allows a physician assistant or a nurse to opine that a <br>> patient is<br>> 'terminal,' and then push for unnatural death by 'palliative <br>> sedation,'" said<br>> Randy Thomasson, chief of the Campaign for Children and Families <br>> shortly after<br>> the vote.<br>> <br>> "Depressed patients who succumb to this pressure will be drugged <br>> unconscious and<br>> die from dehydration, usually within five to 10 days. Nothing in the <br>> bill<br>> prohibits this horror," he said.<br>> <br>> Forty-two Democrats in California voted in favor of the plan: 30 <br>> =0<br>> ARepublicans and<br>> two Democrats opposed the plan.<br>> <br>> "AB 2747 pushes suicide through the back door at the hands of <br>> non-physicians<br>> taking advantage of depressed patients," Thomasson said. His <br>> organization has<br>> been alerting Californians to raise their concerns about the plan for <br>> sudden<br>> death with floor alerts, phone calls and e-mails.<br>> <br>> "AB 2747 cheapens the value of human life by endorsing suicide as an <br>> option.<br>> Gov. Schwarzenegger should pledge to veto this very dangerous bill," <br>> Thomasson<br>> said, describing how the author, Assemblywoman Pattie Berg of Eureka,<br>> "deceptively changed" the bill to appear that "voluntarily stopping of <br>> eating<br>> and drinking" and "palliative sedation" no longer were on a list of <br>> "symptom<br>> management" options.<br>> <br>> But the final bill "is broad enough to easily include these suicide <br>> techniques,"<br>> Thomasson said.<br>> <br>> The specific references to those treatments simply were changed to <br>> "other<br>> clinical treatments useful when a patient is actively dying."<br>> <br>> According to the CCF report, Assemblyman Van Tran of Costa Mesa warned <br>> the bill<br>> has no protections for patients "who could be mistakenly diagnosed as<br>> 'terminally ill' but would have many, many full years of life ahead."<br>> <br>> "The bill does not otherwise attempt to expressly define terminal <br>> illness that<br>> each of these health care professionals would have to diagnose to <br>> trigger the<br>> offer of counseling end of life options. It is not clear wh<br>> y nurse <br>> practitioners<br>> and physician assistants could make such a significant diagnosis. It is <br>> further<br>> not clear from the bill how making such significant diagnoses on a <br>> case-by-case<br>> basis can be done by such practitioners and assistants based on <br>> so-called<br>> 'standardized procedures and protocols' not further defined by the <br>> bill. The<br>> potential effect of AB 2747 is extremely broad and could cause <br>> irrevocable<br>> harm."<br>> <br>> Added Republican Doug La Malfa of Yuba City: "We really go down a <br>> slippery slope<br>> when we contemplate the ending of life in such a way that it could be <br>> coerced.<br>> You have people in a very precarious situation, in a very awkward <br>> situation,<br>> that when thrust upon them with options to end their life, you have <br>> people that<br>> may feel like they have no use anymore.<br>> <br>> They feel like they're not of value anymore, and that taking one of <br>> these<br>> options, they may feel, is the only way out, that they've become a <br>> burden to<br>> their family or to someone else. I would hate to put people in that <br>> kind of<br>> position. They're already feeling vulnerable, and now, confronted with <br>> ways to<br>> end your life – this is a very delicate and, I think, dangerous idea <br>> here. You<br>> could have people like heirs that are anxious to get the estate started <br>> and<br>> quietly coercing people into making decisions like this."<br>> <br>> "Total sedation (TS) – called by some 'terminal sedation,' 'palliative<br>> sedatio<br>> n,' or 'slow euthanasia' – is a protocol recently added to the <br>> lexicon of<br>> contemporary medical interventions and is a construct actively <br>> promulgated by<br>> the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO)," wrote <br>> Dr. Howard<br>> M. Ducharme, past chair of the philosophy department at the University <br>> of Akron.<br>> "It is defined as 'the application of pharmacotherapy to induce a state <br>> of<br>> decreased or absent awareness (unconsciousness) in order to relieve the <br>> burden<br>> of otherwise intractable suffering. However, any quick acceptance of TS <br>> would be<br>> ill-advised because of the many 'devils in the details.'"<br>> <br>> "The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell <br>> Us<br>> Corruption Disguised as Freedom"<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]<br>> <br>> <br>> ------------------------------------<br>> <br>> REMINDERS:<br>> Please help minimize the number of emails received by the entire <br>> membership by<br>> sending responses of a personal nature directly to the author.
