Surprise! Look Who’s Getting Power To Kill You
New bill in works would end life despite patient, family wishes
WND
A new bill advancing through the Texas Legislature would allow doctors to decide when you die, giving them the authority to issue “Do Not Resuscitate” orders regardless of the wishes expressed by patients or their families.
The legislation, known as Texas S.B. 303, is sponsored by State Sen. Bob Duell, vice chair of the Texas Senate Committee on Health and Human Services. Duell is a Republican, and the GOP holds the majority in the chamber. The bill has already been approved by the committee.
“This should scare a lot of people because what this bill says is that a doctor can impose a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order, write it into the patient’s chart even over the patient’s objection,” said Burke Balch, director of the National Right to Life Committee’s Robert Powell Center for Medical Ethics.
Balch told WND the patient would be left with few options.
“The patient could then appeal to an ethics committee. In the meantime, until that appeal is registered, if the person goes into cardiac arrest, then that person will die. And more to the point, you don’t even have the right to appeal to the committee if the doctor says, without being checked by anybody else, that in his opinion your death is imminent,” said Balch, who noted that classification is not as clear-cut as people might think.
“The problem is that there’s no definition of imminent. There used to be a definition in the law that said your death is considered imminent if you’re going to die in minutes to hours. Now we’ve got some people who say if you’re going to die within six months or you’re going to die within a year, that means your death is imminent. So what this bill is saying, essentially, is that if the doctor thinks that you’re going to maybe die in six months, maybe in a year and they say, ‘We think this is imminent,’ then you don’t even have the right to try to go somewhere and ask that this Do Not Resuscitate order be lifted,” he said.

Why would a doctor want to end a life? They will lose revenue. Doctors are like viruses. The virus does not want to kill of it’s host. Too much $$$$$$ for the “doctor” to let go. How will they make their $3840 an hour charge to the patient? (this figure was based on my recent visit to one of these quacks who saw me for 5 minutes.) Never again!
Yeah. Physicians are quacks. Good luck drinking vinegar and eating cumin. Your argument is like blaming the cable repair man for your high bill. It makes no sense. Try to develop a more complex and dynamic view of the healthcare industry to understand its costs. Blame lawyers and politicians for your bill.
Yes, physicians are quacks, pushing bogus vaccines, bogus pharma. Btw curcumin has hundreds of studies proving efficacy in many applications. Get informed pharma shill.
Studies? Perhaps those were scientific studies? GOOD GOD, NOT SCIENCE! Perhaps they were funded by… I don’t know… “big pharma”? I guess you, being the authority on scientific research, have the final word on what is legitimate and what is not. Hey everyone! Forget peer review! We’ve got “ThenAgain” from some website that has it sorted out! HAHAHAHAHA
I can see grieving people putting an end to the lives of some of these doctors.
