Increasing concerns from those involved with the sick and infirm about the consequences of euthanasia\/ medical killing legislation. This time from Alzheimer’s Australia.<\/p>\n
It is beyond me to understand why we pursue a policy that has, is and will continue to be,\u00a0easily corrupted into murder.<\/p>\n
Glenn Rees, CEO Alzheimer\u2019s Australia was quoted as stating:<\/p>\n
\u201cOur focus is to ensure that individuals are both aware of the\u00a0options that are currently legally available to them, and encouraged to start\u00a0planning early in the disease process.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is clear that if the present\u00a0system is to work better for people with dementia and their families more resources are needed for palliative care services in the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also need to ensure that there are sufficient residential aged care places for people with dementia, and that there is a bigger investment in services designed to promote planning at end life, including through advance care directives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alzheimer’s Australia also expressed concern that studies have proven that a significant number of people die by euthanasia even though they did not provide consent.<\/p>\n
If euthanasia is legalized, will it ever be possible to ensure that all people are protected from euthanasia without consent? The answer is NO.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
