Death Panel at Houston Hospital Trying to Kill Fully Conscious Man

Christopher Dunn is literally fighting for his life, but he is fighting against an institution that should be fighting along side him, not attempting to murder him. Houston Methodist Hospital sent a letter to Chris Dunn and his mother Evelyn Kelly, from the death panel, also called the Houston Methodist Bioethics Committee which stated, “the Committee has decided that life-sustaining treatment is medically inappropriate for Chris and that all treatments other than those needed to keep him comfortable should be discontinued and withheld.”

Kelly, of course is fighting for the life of her son.  She has enlisted the help of attorneys, as well as Texas Right to Life group.

The man, his mother, and his lawyers, have filed a lawsuit in an attempt to save the man’s life. His attorney, Joe Nixon, told Breitbart Texas, “A criminal on death row in Texas has more rights than a patient in a Texas hospital.” He says a Texas statute denies a patient all due process rights and is unconstitutional.

Trey Trainor, another lawyer with the same firm who is representing Dunn, says Texas law gives a hospital the right to make life or death decisions without consulting the patient or the patient’s family.

Meanwhile, the hospital officials want to kill him and disagree with the decisions that Dunn and his mother are making on his behalf so they have filed for a court appointed guardian to make decisions for him. The hospital is “fighting to stop his treatment” and find it necessary to remove both the patient and the mother from the decision making process.

Ms. Kelly told Breitbart Texas, “This is bigger than Chris, and if other people don’t think that this can happen to your son or daughter, then it sure can. If they can do it to Chris, and they will, they can do it to anyone.”
