Default re: Euthanasia Rampant in New Zealand, Doctors Admit Hastening Death

We know that when my nana was dying from cancer that the Dr was ODing her on the morphine. She had suffered from bowl cancer for over a year, she was no longer functioning and could have lasted 2 maybe 3 weeks in this state. So why let some one hang in there that much longer.

My other Grandmother died in a hospice suffering from Alhzeimers she had 8 strokes and was in the feotal position for nearly 3 years , was spoon fed baby food ( 2-3 tablespoons a meal ) she had no fat on her body and her skin was like cardboard around her bones, she was kept alive for so long as she was income for the hospice. Our Dr told us that if she had been in home care with a Gp visiting she wouldnt have suffered as long as she did.

So It is very common amongst Gps to euthanise paitents, I guess we just hope that they do it for the right reasons and never do it for a persons family for monetary gain etc.
