sent an email alert out about this article and asking us to go online and vote against the poll in Australia to support euthanasia. He said this is an important poll because
South Australia currently has bills in the upper and lower houses to legalize
euthanasia.
When I went online to vote it had an accompanying story that was clearly slanted to sway readers to support euthanasia. It talked about a wartime doctor telling the horrors of war and sharing stories meant to provoke the emotions of the readers.
I have posted before about sharing the stage with someone from the hospice industry who told about how we now had the means to alleviate pain during terminal illnesses without actively killing the patient.There is a difference in keeping the patient pain free until death overtakes them and killing them to prevent suffering. As we know from our friends in the Netherlands, euthanasia has become something entirely different. It is no longer for the terminally ill but the depressed and just plain tired of living not to mention the slippery slope from the "right to die" to "the duty to die" to the involuntary euthanasia.
This doctor writes of the active killing of someone on the battlefield who is wounded and calmly says this is done by doctors everyday. But Australia is not talking about what is going to happen on the battlefield but in hospitals and nursing homes. Shame on the press for using this story to sway opinion.

After the booby-trap on a second house was defused, Dr Jurisevic found a dead man and child inside and a partially disemboweled woman with both knees shot to prevent her moving. He shot her in the head. The surgeon says that while his method of ending her life seems violent, it was no different to the sort of decisions doctors make every day."Euthanasia in Australia is practiced all the time," he says. "It definitely happens, you ask any doctor. You can't keep people suffering."
