Death be not proud (But....)

I'm beginning to sense a theme from the medical front these days. If it's not ObamaCare's death toll, it's a culture that seems not just "okay" with assisted suicide but apparently insists on it.

Wow, Henry, that's quite a claim there, care to back it up?

Sure. (Literally) Ripped from the headlines:

"California Hospital Sued for Refusing to Assist Suicide"

The patient eventually died of cancer, and now her children are suing the medical facility which treated her because it "conceal[ed] its oncologists’ decision not to provide life-ending drugs to patients who ask for them."

Oy.

I'm assuming they also deny diet pills to anorexics who request them, as well.

Meantime, FoIB Holly R alerts us that the Much Vaunted National Health System© apparently has no such problem reducing its patient load:

"One-Third Of Life Support Patients Die Under British Health Care System."

#Winning!

Turns out that "free" health "care" is absolutely worth every penny, er, farthing. So, if you're on a vent or other life support system provided by the MVNHS©, best make sure your affairs are all in order.

The sooner the better, natch.

But wait, there's more good news (well, for certain values of "good"):

"CBS Reports Iceland Has 'Virtually Eliminated' Down Syndrome with Abortion"

Well first, as Patricia Heaton points out, killing unborn Downs babies isn't eliminating "Downs," it's eliminating babies:




Notice that the trend, here and abroad, is to ration care by rationing life.

Pretty rational, I guess.

Scary, too, no?
