There might be a single name for them that sums it up.

well written summary of the "fearlings".

YES! And they walk amongst us here on sowal.

Sure they are nameless, faceless, and profile-less like most Sowallers--BUT so very easy to figure out Usually in the first sentence!

Miss Quitty has it all wrong. It's not a "Death Panel" it's a Death Squad and they only will come and confiscate purple pills.

Apparently George W. Bush has no problems with 'death panels'.

The provision in the health care reform bill HR 3200 simply gives people the option to speak with their doctor about end of life care, living wills, etc. They are not forced to do this and there is no government panel saying when they should be denied treatment.

That case should have been a wake up call for all Americans to plan for the unexpected. Everyone today should have a Will, POA, Durable POA, Living Will.....and, I think there is one more.....I'd have to go pull my file.....make them uncontestable, review them every so often to make certain your wishes remain constant as you age. I don't remember what all of these docs cost me, but it was less than $800, I think. And, some of these forms, you can get on line for much, much less! I think you just have to make certain they are witnessed properly, etc.

This keep the courts out of the hospital room. And, the only reason we need this is once you are on life support, it is considered murder if a physician removes the support, despite your wishes. To have your family and the State argue over your wishes is deemed selfish by some.

Unfortunately, The Schiavo case was probably quickly forgotten as people put their planning off or didn't want to pay an atty. to draw the docs, etc. Now, our gov't can attempt to force it in the guise of health care reform.[/quote]

Seems "Birthers" "Teabaggers", and (now) "Deathers" all play well together in the same sand box.

I don't understand what you are saying. Sorry. My comments have nothing to do with a birther (don't even know what that is), a teabagger or a deather? What sandbox are you referencing?

My comments were to point out that the Shiavo case made national news for several weeks. Death is ok to think about. Brain dead is ok to think about and people should plan......other than that, I have no idea what you are talking about, hnooe.

Birthers, deathers, teabaggers, swift boaters. It's all about repeatedly spamming the American public with misleading statements. That's the sandbox.

I don't actually have the paperwork, but I have had the discussions w/ my family. Both my parents actually have the legal paperwork and I am their default if the spouse is not able to make the decisions.

Mama Scooterbug will pull the plug, donate all my organs except skin (I quibble about the eyes because I can actually see those), and cremate the rest.

The government isn't going to reduce my life expectancy just because I had an intelligent conversation about my future. :roll:
