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.
You don’t even Euthanasia is. Euthanasia is when the terminal ill patients decides to end their own life with help.
if they do this they must be charged with murder for it is against the law.
No health insurance = no care.
i dont believe this for one minute . scare tactics .
I bet if he was a refugee the government would find a way to save him.
Everybody has a choice, but if you have hard time to earn a living you know how to prioritize. We don’t know his living situation. We prioritize the basic needs ; air, food,water, elimination& shelter, and insurance is not one of those basic needs. Before we say something about him, we must look at in every corner before jumping into a wrong conclusion.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA its NOT ANY MORE ITS GETTING RUN INTO THE GROUND
Yes, it will not only be in Texas, just happens to be where they are finding it out.
Life is precious at both ends, Charles. God gives life, only God should end it.
Carol Ervin that would be understandable if it were his choice. But he is fully aware and saying he doesn’t want to die. So, I think this is awful ! It makes the health care providers judge and jury. They don’t need to try to play God.
