Do not get sick in Texas! You have no right to live, no due process, no appeal, if the hospital death panel decides your quality of life is not worth sustaining.
The Texas statute, section 166.046, has come to light because Chris Dunn, a conscience, communicative patient will have his breathing machine turned off, nutrients cut off and will be administered a dose of morphine and one other drug that will take just three to five minutes to kill him, if his lawyers cannot get the courts to stay this death sentence.
Christopher David Dunn, a former peace officer, as well as a Homeland Security officer, is 46 and on life sustaining machines at Houston Methodist Hospital. He is fully conscience and can communicate by making hand gestures, much like sign language, and nodding his head. When he became sick he had no health insurance. A noncancerous mass was found by his small intestine and pancreas, which is affecting his liver and kidneys. For eight weeks he has been in the hospital.
Follow his story on the next page, as he literally fights for his life, because apparently, without insurance he does not deserve to be helped, it is cheaper to kill him according to Houston Methodist Hospital.
There is no death panels says Obama Hussein.
My guess is that this man has no health insurance, and therefore, hospital is anxious to cut loose a nonpaying terminal patient to have another paying patient take his place. If he was fully insured, they would be providing paliative care for him.
Totally agree Carol ….sorry for you heartbreak
Nonsense!! We just don’t do this in the USA!!! If so, the Athuroties shoud be on the scene right Now, to put an end to this
This man wants to live! He is begging to live, do you understand? A friend of mine was dying as a child many years ago, when a new drug came out…called penicillin. Saved his life. Jim Carter is taking a new drug from Israel for his brain cancer and liver cancer, he is doing well.
If you are 75 they are told to let you go, even if they can save you…read Obamacare!
Sarcasm my comment is sarcasm
This is called EUTHANASIA, with which they want to get rid of “useless” humans…
Jeannette u made it sound so comforting :sarcasm :
Liberals have been pushing for this for decades. I don’t see any of them volunteering to go first, though.
