Woman pressured to approve death by sedation / dehydration for her Aunt.

Today I spoke with a woman who is the Power of Attorney for her 89 year-old aunt, who is currently in a Toronto hospital.The niece called EPC because she is upset about the lack of care that her Aunt is receiving.

Her Aunt went to the hospital a few weeks ago with pneumonia. Her doctor decided to do nothing for her. The doctor said:

"she's not going to get better"

The doctor pressured the niece to have her Aunt sedated and dehydrated to death.

Her niece demanded another doctor and insisted on treatment. Her Aunt is now clear from the pneumonia.

Her Aunt is recovering but the hospital continues to pressure her niece to have her Aunt sedated and dehydrated to death. The only reason her niece could think of why they are doing this is that her Aunt is 89. Her niece said:

"she doesn't have cancer, she doesn't have any life-threatening condition."

I urged the niece to keep defending her Aunt's right to receive treatment and care.

I consider this to be elder abuse and discrimination. What makes it worse is that the abuse and discrimination seems to be institutionalized.

Tonight on Marti Oakley's T. S. Radio: Hospice Survivors and Victims with Carly Walken

5:00pm PST …  6:00pm MST…  7:00pm CST…8:00pm EST

We will be speaking with the executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition and International Chair of the groups working to stop euthanasia and assisted suicide. We welcome Alex Schadenberg to the program tonight.

Across the country groups and organizations are springing up promoting the euthanizing of elderly or terminally ill individuals. Couched in soft sounding language, many of these efforts are focused on prematurely ending the lives of those who are elderly, or whose health is deteriorating. While many of these organizations try to orientate themselves from the aspect of the elder or sick individual having the right to end their own lives, does the truth actually lie in something more sinister? Are we now going to start euthanizing those we have determined to be part of what is now referred to as the human waste population?

How can anyone decide that someone else’s life is not worth living? and….Who will make that decision?
