Bobby Schindler: Competent Enough to Live
Bobby Schindler has this article on Townhall. He writes:
. . . the physically and mentally “inferior” are being denied the most basic care—food and water—in our nation’s medical facilities every day . . . Perhaps our general public doesn’t have a clue as to how widespread this problem is in our nation today . .
In this column by Jane Brody, Judith Schwarz, a registered nurse and clinical coordinator for “Compassion & Choices” of New York was quoted as saying the following: “1.3 million people die each year in American hospitals as ‘a consequence of someone’s decision to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment.’”
If this is accurate, these numbers are staggering . . .
