Its all a false pitch. Thats not why its    actually done.  <\/p>\n<p>    Rather, existential anguish drives people to seek    doctor-administered or prescribed termination.That has    been experience in Oregon. Now too, Canada. From a study    published in theNew England Journal of Medicine;  <\/p>\n<p>      Those who received MAiD[medical aid in dying] tended to      be white and relatively affluent and indicated that loss of      autonomy was the primary reason for their request.    <\/p>\n<p>      Other common reasons included the wish to avoid burdening      others or losing dignity and the intolerability of not being      able to enjoy ones life.    <\/p>\n<p>      Few patients cited inadequate control of pain or other      symptoms.    <\/p>\n<p>    These are important issues that need to be addressed through    vigorous suicide prevention and other mental health    interventions.  <\/p>\n<p>    But they are not provided. Instead, the desire to die for fear    of being a burden or losing autonomy is validated withthe    lethal jab or the poison pills. And then, that type of death is    pushed toward normalization.  <\/p>\n<p>    Not providing vigorous interventions for existential anguish    islike depriving a cancer patientof morphine, and    then helping her diebecause she is in so much pain.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Follow this link:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/448072\/euthanasia-not-about-ending-uncontrollable-pain\" title=\"Euthanasia Not About Ending Uncontrollable Pain - National Review\">Euthanasia Not About Ending Uncontrollable Pain - National Review<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The euthanasia movement fear mongers its agendaas a means of preventing an agonizing death in pain that cannot be controlled.
