Queensland poised to pass euthanasia law – The Tablet

Queensland is poised to become the fifth Australian state to pass laws allowing euthanasia.

Debate is expected to start in the Queensland parliament in Brisbane on Tuesday, September 14 and continue for several days before a final vote.

The Church strongly opposes euthanasia and this month Brisbanes archbishop, Mark Coleridge, president of theAustralian Catholic Bishops Conference urged Catholics, their families and friends to sign a petition demanding Queensland MPs reject aVoluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) Bill.

These laws, if passed, will overturn foundational principles that have underpinned our medical and legal systems for centuries the ethic of do no harm and the prohibition on killing, Archbishop Coleridge said.

Euthanasia and assisted suicide laws undermine the fundamental relationship of trust that should exist between a patient and their doctor.

At an eleventh-hour March for Life rally in Brisbane on Saturday a highly-experienced chest doctor warned that wrongful deaths will occur under Queenslands proposed euthanasia laws, due to misdiagnosis.

Unfortunately diseases are hard to predict and doctors make dramatic mistakes, at times, thoracic physician, Dr Luke Garske, said.

Dr Garske spoke to a crowd of about 1000 VAD opponents about his experience with a patient who had a severe lung condition and was relying on oxygen to walk even a few steps.

Dr Garske told this patient he could expect to live for another 12 months.

Six months later it became obvious he had a different diagnosis and he continued to improve, he said.

He (the patient) returned to my clinic once a year for the next 13 years, and every time he came in he had a big smile to remind me of my mistake.

Now I ask you would it be okay if this patient had decided to have assisted suicide based on my wrong advice at the start?

Now you might be thinking thats a one off miracle case but I am not actually a below average doctor, and there are thousands of doctors like me.

All experienced doctors have made a wrong diagnosis, and all experienced doctors have learned they can be wildly wrong in predicting survival.

Dr Garske said there would be no practical way under Queenslands proposed assisted dying laws to detect wrongful deaths of this kind.

Under Queenslands VAD bill a person is eligible for voluntary assisted dying if they are expected to die within 12 months.

Underother Australian models the period is six months, except for progressive neurological conditions, in which case its 12 months.

With the 12 months survival in Queensland there will be more wildly wrong estimates of survival, patients missing out on potentially many good years, Dr Garske said.

So the Queensland VAD will cause even more wrongful deaths.

Please keep us all safe.

In Australia, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania have already pass laws legalising euthanasia and assisted dying.

Last rights: assisted suicide is neither painless nor dignified – Spectator.co.uk

Posted: at 8:59 am

Is euthanasia painless? The founder of the British pro-euthanasia movement (and sometime eugenicist) Dr Killick Millard declared in 1931 that his aim was to substitute for the slow and painful death a quick and painless one. His sentiment is echoed today by the pro-euthanasia group My Death, My Decision, which says that it wants the option of a peaceful, painless, and dignified death. The British Medical Association appears to agree and this week dropped its opposition to the Assisted Dying Bill, currently making its way through parliament.

As a doctor and expert witness against the use of lethal injection for execution in America, however, I am quite certain that assisted suicide is not painless or peaceful or dignified. In fact, in the majority of cases, it is a very painful death.

The death penalty is not the same as assisted dying, of course. Executions are meant to be punishment; euthanasia is about relief from suffering. Yet for both euthanasia and executions, paralytic drugs are used. These drugs, given in high enough doses, mean that a patient cannot move a muscle, cannot express any outward or visible sign of pain. But that doesnt mean that he or she is free from suffering.

In 2014, I watched the lethal injection of Marcus Wellons in a Georgia prison. The 59-year-old had been sentenced to death for the rape and murder of his 15-year-old neighbour India Roberts in 1989. Im going home to be with Jesus were his final words as the drugs entered his body.

I noticed that Wellonss fingers were taped to the stretcher, which made little sense, given his body had already been restrained by heavy straps. I kept asking myself why. I read into the subject and came across a report of the lethal injection execution of another death row inmate, Dennis McGuire, five months earlier. During that 24-minute process at the Ohio jail, McGuire clenched his fists. Perhaps it was a final, futile show of defiance. Perhaps it was an outward display of pain. With his fingers secured, Wellons could not have made any such gesture.

In 2017, I obtained a series of autopsies of inmates executed by lethal injection, which confirmed my worst fears. Wellonss autopsy revealed that his lungs were profoundly congested with fluid, meaning they were around twice the normal weight of healthy lungs. He had suffered what is known as pulmonary oedema, which could only have occurred as he lay dying. Wellons had drowned in his secretions. Yet even my medical eye detected no sign of distress at his execution.

In America, there is no stated means of death for victims of lethal injection. Federal litigation dictates that executions must not be cruel but they are permitted to be painful. Far from the instantaneous death sought by the Supreme Court justices, drowning in this manner is both prolonged and painful.

Wellons was executed with a chemical called pentobarbital, which caused his pulmonary oedema. In Oregon, four in five assisted suicides have employed pentobarbital or its close relatives. (The Assisted Dying Bill is based on the Oregon system.) If a post-mortem examination were to be performed on a body after assisted suicide, its very likely that similar pulmonary oedema would be found.

Increasingly, drug shortages have forced states in America wishing to execute inmates to improvise. Some use barbiturates like pentobarbital in isolation, others mask its effects with other drugs. In either case, it is the lethal barbiturates that trigger death. What is to say the same thing wont eventually end up happening in Britain with assisted dying?

The proposals before the House of Lords would see sick patients prescribed a lethal dose of perhaps 100 barbiturate pills. Laws in Oregon, like those proposed in the UK, require patients to take the drugs themselves, which rules out any form of general anaesthetic. Often patients are handed anti-sickness and anti-seizure tablets but nothing more in preparation, meaning theyre very much awake as the assisted suicide process begins and they start ingesting fatal quantities of barbiturates. Without a general anaesthetic, many will be in great discomfort, even if outwardly they dont appear to be suffering.

Indeed, there are countless examples of people who have discovered just how messy, painful and distressing it can be as they watched their loved ones go through the process. Take Linda Van Zandt, who helped her aunt, suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, die in California. She later described how she had to feed 100 crushed pills in a drink to her aunt who could barely swallow water, but had to drink all of it in less than five minutes to ensure success. She concludes: The day was fraught and frightening We had been forced to assist in the most bizarre fashion, jumping through seemingly random legal hoops and meeting arbitrary deadlines while my aunt suffered, and finally emptying capsules, making an elixir so vile I cried when I knew she had to drink it. This was death with dignity?

I have met and explained my findings to many inmates on death row. Based on this pulmonary oedema information, three inmates on Tennessees death row considered their options. Having heard the consequences of the process shared between assisted suicide and lethal injection, all three chose to die instead by the electric chair.

Advocates of assisted dying owe a duty to the public to be truthful about the details of killing and dying. People who want to die deserve to know that they may end up drowning, not just falling asleep.

Protestors Outside Animal Welfare This Morning Over Unjustified Euthanasia Of Pitbulls – Lovin Malta

Posted: at 8:59 am

A group of protestors was outside the premises of Animal Welfare this morning, over the unjustified euthanasia of rescued Pitbulls which happened last month.

Accusations were being thrown towards the directorate, as protestors blame Animal Welfare for putting down the rescued dogs, despite them being perfectly healthy.

This comes after the controversial euthanasia which sparked up a multitude of discussions and reactions on social media platforms in the last month.

The protestors also called upon the directorate to relieve dogs from being in cages all day, as this might be leading to aggressive behaviour.

The directorate had previously denied that it puts Pitbulls down because of their breed. However, in another statement, it outlined that in certain rare cases this can happen, mainly because of reasons such as high prey drive or an unpredictable nature.

Emmanuel Cassar, the organiser of the protest, said that they gathered there this morning to take a stance against the killing of innocent dogs.

What do you make of this?

Jon Stewart Admits Why He Was Wrong About Donald Trump – Yahoo News

Posted: at 8:58 am

Jon Stewart admitted the mistake he made when Donald Trump first announced his candidacy for president in 2015.

Back then, the then-host of The Daily Show figured the reality TV personality was a comedic gift from heaven.

But in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Wednesday, Stewart said he misjudged, failing to consider that Trumps certainty, his ridiculousness, his shamelessness is what made him dangerous.

I thought it made him a buffoon, and I thought thats what would disqualify him, said Stewart, whose new Apple TV+ show The Problem With Jon Stewart debuts on Sept. 30.

What it did is made him the perfect vessel, Stewart continued. You have to be shameless to do shameful things.

Im not saying hes the same as these figures, but the most dangerous figures are the ones that seem comic and absurd, Stewart added. Saddam Hussein seems absurd. Muammar Gaddafi would stand in a kaftan and rant like a madman.

These Caribbean Islands Are On The CDC’s ‘Do Not Travel’ ListHere’s How Cruise Lines Navigate Covid’s Murky Waters – Forbes

Posted: at 8:57 am

A cruise ship plies the waters near Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas.

Its getting harder to find a Caribbean cruise itinerary that doesnt include a stop on the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions Do Not Travel list. Over the past few weeks, the list of popular Caribbean cruise ports given the CDCs dreaded Level 4 designation has ballooned.

The CDC uses a four-level system to alert travelers to health threats around the world. Countries with a Level 4 travel health notice are deemed to have a very high risk of Covid-19 with a Do Not Travel recommendation for Americans.

The Caribbean islands at Level 4 now include: Aruba, the Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Curacao, Dominica, Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique, Puerto Rico, St. Barts, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Martin/Sint Maarten and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Its an understatement to say that cruise lines and Caribbean nations share a common interest in navigating the murky waters of the Covid pandemic together. The North American cruise market is dominated by the easily accessible Caribbean, Bahamas, and Bermuda.

Likewise, cruising plays an outsized and growing role in the regions tourism. In 2019, nearly 12 million people visited the Caribbean on a cruise ship, roughly double the 6.2 million recorded in 2010.

Despite rising Covid transmission rates, cruises lines have kept popular Caribbean islands on their itineraries by nimbly adapting their protocols to stay in line with both the CDC guidance and ever-changing restrictions in host countries. Caribbean destinations and cruise lines started working together in summer 2020 to develop a universal set of guidelines for resumption of cruise travelacross the Caribbean, Mexico and the Americas, says a Royal Caribbean spokesperson.

The CDC recommends that both passengers and crew be vaccinatedbefore boarding a ship, and says vaccinated passengers can generally go masklessandexplore portson their own. These days, cruise ships are overwhelmingly filled with travelers age 12 and up who are fully vaccinated. A few cruise lines require all guests to be fully vaccinated before boarding without exceptions. Others allow unvaccinated passengers for certain cruises but then subject them to strict masking and testing policies as well as restricted shore excursions. These protocols also typically apply to children under 12.

When the CDC issues a Do Not Travel travel health notice, cruise lines have several tools in their toolboxes, says Chris Gray Faust, managing editor at CruiseCritic.com, a Tripadvisor-owned cruise review site.

The first option is to make a substitution to an itinerary. If Covid spikes in a country and it shuts down to cruising, the cruise line will find another port, says Faust, pointing to the Cayman Islands as an example of a destination that is closed to tourists.

But rather than ban cruise ships outright, its far more likely that a country with a spike in Covid transmissions would tighten its regulations. In that case, cruise lines adjust their protocols to adhere to the new rules. For instance, when the Bahamas recently mandated that only fully vaccinated cruise ships could stop at its ports, cruise lines were compelled to change how they process passengers on Bahamian itineraries sailing out of Florida. Previously, most cruise lines had not asked passengers sailing from Florida for proof of vaccination, due to Governor Ron DeSantis much-hyped but unpopular ban on vaccine passports.

The Bahamas mandate essentially forced Royal Caribbean to bring its vaccine policy for cruises departing from Florida to the Bahamas in line with its own policy for sailings departing from all other U.S. ports, says a Royal Caribbean spokesperson. Travelers unable to show proof of vaccination will beunable to sail. There is an exception is for kids under 12, who are ineligible to be vaccinated, and must provide a negative test result at boarding and follow certain health and safety protocols.

Passengers age 12 and up must prove they are fully vaccinated to visit Royal Caribbean's private island in the Bahamas.

Similarly, Carnival Cruise Line and Disney Cruise Line now require that passengers age 12 and up sailing from Florida to the Bahamas must show proof of vaccination, with an exception for younger children, who must be tested and adhere to masking policies.

Norwegian Cruise Line takes an even stronger stance, requiring that all passengers, regardless of age, must be fully vaccinated prior to sailing from any port to all destinations. This policy will remain in place at least until the end of 2021. Last month, a U.S. judge ruled that Norwegian can require passengers to show proof of vaccination status before boarding a ship, agreeing with the cruise line that Floridas law jeopardizes public health and is an unconstitutional infringement on Norwegian's rights. Virgin Voyages also requires all passengers to be fully vaccinated.

A third way that cruise lines adapt to a heightened risk of Covid-19 is by changing how they handle shore excursions in a specific port of call. Faust saw this firsthand on a recent Viking Ocean Cruise in Europe. In the countries that are at Level 4, they restricted shore excursions to ship-sponsored bubble excursions, and in places where the CDC rating was lower than 4, passengers were allowed to explore on their own, she said.

Passengers on bubble excursions explore a port as part of a guided tour with others from the same ship, while passengers exploring a destination on their own must still follow that country's protocols. For example, a country might require that visitors show proof of vaccination to dine indoors.

Caribbean islands currently at Level 3, which means high risk of Covid-19, include: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Bermuda, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Turks and Caicos. Many Caribbean itineraries also include stops in Mexico, which is also at Level 3.

Its absolutely crucial for cruisers to realize that protocols differ from cruise line to cruise line, said Faust, which means travelers need to do their homework before booking and then be prepared for protocols to change on the fly. Our advice to cruisers during this time is to be very flexible, said Faust, and to realize that when you sign up to the cruise, some destinations and itineraries may end up changing due to the pandemic.

Tropical Storm Peter projected to bring rains, wind to islands in Caribbean – UPI News

Posted: at 8:57 am

Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Tropical Storm Peter, the 16th named system of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, is projected to pass multiple islands in the Caribbean in the coming days.

Peter, which became a tropical storm early Sunday, is on track to move close to the Northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico through Tuesday, forecasters said.

In its 5 a.m. EDT Update, the National Hurricane Center said Peter was located 245 miles northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands and had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph. It was moving northwest at 14 mph.

Forecasters said a gradual decrease in forward speed is expected through Tuesday, with a turn to the northwest expected by Wednesday.

The storm is not expected to impact the United States mainland.

Compared to the record-setting 2020 hurricane season, Peter arrived a little late. Last year, the 16th storm, Paulette, developed on Sept. 7.

Tropical Storm Rose also formed on Sunday, becoming the 17th named storm of the season, and is projected to follow a similar movement as Peter.

Royal Caribbean launches Wonder of the Seas with attractions – Blooloop

Posted: at 8:57 am

Royal Caribbean hopes biggest will be best when it comes to luring customers back to sea. Its new ship, Wonder of the Seas, is the largest cruise ship afloat at 228,081 tons and measuring 362 metres. At full capacity, it will hold 7,912 passengers. It nudges ahead of Caribbeans Symphony of the Seas, which holds up to 6,680 passengers.

The innovative new shipinvites adventurers of all ages to reimagine, explore and make memories once again, says Royal Caribbean in its press release, introducing the ship and its tagline: Reimage whats Possible.

Its a bold move as, while the will to cruise is high, many cruisers are still tentative about travelling, particularly on the giga cruise ships. Many cruise lines have been offering vast discounts to passengers in an attempt to make sailings viable.

However Royal Caribbean is confident that its innovative cruise-meets-theme park ships will weather the storm. The momentum taking off across bookings and our returning ships in the U.S. and Europe is significant, says Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. With half of our fleet sailing again, we are encouraged by what were seeing. These regions are in the position to welcome a brand-new, innovative ship likeWonder of the Seas.

Wonder of the Seas will feature eight distinct neighbourhoods, including the all-new Suite Neighbourhood where Royal Suite guests enjoy a Suite Sun Deck, lounge and private restaurant. Also fresh to the ship is the cantilevered pool bar, The Vue. Wonder Playscapealso debuts, an interactive, open-air kids play area with slides, climbing walls, games and puzzles.

The new ship will retain favourite features from other Royal Caribbean ships. The Ultimate Abyss, the tallest slide at sea, will return, as will Central Park, the lush green neighbourhood featuring real plants. The Caribbean-inspired pool deck experience also remains in place, alongside high speed waterslide, The Perfect Storm, and aqua park Splashaway Bay.

Wonder of the Seas will set sail from Fort Lauderdale to explore the Caribbean from March 4 2022. The cruise ship will then make its way to the Mediterranean, where it will sail from both Barcelona and Rome.

Wonderwill shine bright as the worlds newest wonder in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, said Bayley. And whats in store is the ultimate vacation experience that highlights the very best of Royal Caribbean, reimagines renowned favourites and introduces new adventures every guest, no matter their age, can enjoy.

Royal Caribbean has already shown its ability to push the boundaries. Spectrum of the Seas, launched in 2019, was ahead of the game with digital room keys, immersive augmented reality games and VR trampolining. The ships shows also feature immersive technology.

The cruise line also joined the trend for cruises to include visits to private islands. In 2019 Royal Caribbean opened Perfect Day at CocoCay, a $250 million private island in the Bahamas, the first in the Perfect Day Island Collection.

The island is for the exclusive use of the cruise lines guests and includes a wide range of sporting, adventure and relaxing activities. Highlights include a 1,600 foot long zipline and the chance to float above the island in a tethered helium balloon.

Pirates Of The Caribbean 6 Release Date: Is it Renewed? – TheTealMango

Posted: at 8:57 am

Jerry Bruckheimers Pirates of the Caribbean is a sequence of fantastical swashbuckler movies based on Walt Disneys theme park entertainment of the same name. The Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise began in 2003 with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, which received positive reviews from both audiences and critics and grossed US$654 million worldwide.

Following the success of the first film, Walt Disney Pictures announced that a sequel was in the works. From the beginning, the movie performed admirably, and it continued to do so. The franchise has a total of 5 movies currently and viewers are excited for a 6th one.

The story started with Blacksmith Will Turner collaborates with quirky pirate Captain Jack Sparrow to free Elizabeth Swann, Turners love, from cursed pirates headed by Hector Barbossa, Jacks mutinous former first mate. And its still going strong and delivering incredible results.

Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is currently under production. It was speculated just before the release of On Stranger Tides that Disney was preparing to shoot the fifth and sixth movies back-to-back, yet only the fifth was produced. Dead Men Tell No Tales was simply the commencement of the final adventure, according to director Joachim Rnning, who confirmed that it will not be the series final movie in March 2017.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed in September 2017 that a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie was still in the works. Finally, in May 2020, it was announced that Bruckheimer indicated that the first draft of the sixth movies screenplay would be completed soon. The movie is now in production, and we cant wait to see it.

Kaya Scodelario also revealed that she had signed a contract to return for a sixth film. The upcoming movies screenwriters are Ted Elliott and Craig Mazin, and the director is Joachim Rnning.

Though the movies title and release date have yet to be revealed, they will be in the near future. But its not like we cant anticipate when the next movie will be out. The franchises movies, on the other hand, have generally been released in July or May. According to previous movies, the first three installments of the franchise were released in May. And the first two installments were released in July.

Well, were hoping for a similar pattern with this upcoming film. A four to five-year gap between Pirates of the Caribbean movies has been the standard, with the exception of Dead Mans Chest and At Worlds End (filmed back-to-back in 2005).

Also, as we all know, the scripting was probably finished in May 2020, but owing to the epidemic, maybe everything got pushed back. However, the upcoming movie is expected to be released in 2023. Were awaiting confirmation from the officials. These were just expected release date.

So, lets move on to the next exciting news we have in store for everyone. Disney stated in June 2020 that they were working on a female-led spin-off, with Christina Hodson penning the screenplay and Margot Robbie scheduled to appear. The movie will be distinct from the six-picture project now in development.

Jerry Bruckheimer will also serve as a producer on the movie. For the time being, we only know that there will be a spin-off. And there are no further updates on the story-line or the release date. Well, whenever any updates regarding the 6th movie, and the spin-off is announced, we will try to keep everyone up-to-date.

Posted: at 8:57 am

With the rollout of Lightning Lane imminent, three more attractions have received signage for the upcharge service at the Magic Kingdom.

Over in Adventureland, signage has been installed at the entrance of Pirates of the Caribbean. This is the second attraction in the land to feature the new service following the Jungle Cruise.

Meanwhile, in Frontierland, signage for Lightning Lane has replaced the one for FastPass+ at Splash Mountain.

Finally, over in Fantasyland, the signage has been added to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, typically one of the longest waits in the park.

Given how popular the attraction is, its no surprise that the ride was mentioned specifically as one of the additional attraction selections available for a separate charge from the general Lightning Lane service.

Earlier this week, signs for Lightning Lane were added to even more attractions in the park, including Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain, and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, as well as Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Mad Tea Party, and Mickeys PhilharMagic.
