Death Without Dignity

The hope is that your doctor always acts in your best interest. Think again. Our increasingly godless culture, coupled with pressure to reduce medical costs, is creating classes of elderly and infirm people considered less worthy of life. This is increasingly true for patients with mental deficiencies. In short, many physicians are ignoring our God-given human dignity and Personhood. That point is raised in a recent book by Charles Camosy, a bioethicist and theologian at Fordham University....

Palliative Care vs Hospice

Making end of life decisions is often overwhelming. So many emotions are involved; it’s hard to know what’s best for a loved one. Since palliative care and hospice are the two most frequently considered, it’s critical to know the difference. It’s important to note that services delivered by these providers do not always demonstrate a respect for the sanctity of human life or the Personhood of the individual. Palliative Care Palliative care is specialized medical care designed to provide relief...

Georgia to Face Doctor-Prescribed Suicide

NORCROSS, GA, December 10, 2014—Georgia Right to Life (GRTL) Director of Bioethics, Bethany Walker, said today she is deeply concerned about a push to adopt a doctor-prescribed suicide law in Georgia. “Georgia is overwhelmingly pro-life,” Walker said. “And that support includes protecting the elderly, disabled and terminally ill, as well as pre-born children. "Communicating to those that receive a negative diagnosis that dying with dignity means suicide forces a wrongful burden on the patient...

The Heartless Express

Powered by deception and fueled by evil, the assisted suicide movement is an out-of-control, runaway train. It’s deceptive because it distorts the reality of the practice and available alternatives. It’s evil in that taking your life, regardless of how, is patently unbiblical and appeals to the most selfish, self-centered of emotions. The misguided idea is currently available in Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont and Washington State. Some version of physician-assisted suicide (PAS) is also...

Making Death Passé

The Bible says everyone will die once and then face judgement (Hebrews 9:27). Not to worry. There’s a growing movement aimed at defying God and making it possible to live forever. In fact, they even have their own church. Located in Hollywood, Florida, “The Church of Perpetual Life” teaches that technological advances will eventually end death altogether. Church founder Bill Faloon told the Miami New Times: “I never accepted death as being inevitable. Technology will advance to the point where...

DNR’s Dirty Secret

March 2018 – Article 1: (This is the sixth in a series of articles dealing with protecting the elderly and infirm). Think doctors and hospitals always have patients’ best interest at heart? Think again. Nationwide, “unilateral do not resuscitate” (DNR) orders are secretly slipped into patients’ files without family notification far more often than the medical profession likes to admit. Georgia is no exception. Georgia Right to Life (GRTL) has received numerous complaints from families who...

Using Word Games to Kill

February 2018 – Article 3: (This is the fourth of several articles dealing with protecting the elderly and infirm). Resorting to euphemisms is a time-tested, deceptive way to manipulate public opinion. Abortion is called a "choice", sexual perversion becomes “pride,” assisted suicide is "death with dignity", and genocide is "ethnic cleansing". Seeks to Define Eating Utensils as "Medical Care" Now there’s an effort to use that strategy in re-defining ordinary eating utensils as "medical...

Beating Heart Cadavers

The National Network for Organ Donors, and other similar organizations, work to ensure that “every single person in the United States who needs a transplant gets one”. Clearly, organ donation has changed the face of medicine for nearly 50 years, but at what cost? No one could have envisioned the growth that transplantation science would achieve or how it would affect biomedical ethics, essentially redefining death. Beating heart cadavers, those thought to be brain dead, traditionally receive...

DNR, You Have ZERO Rights To Decide

The Journal of Medical Ethics published on March 17, 2016 a survey compiled from 490 out of 3000 practicing neonatologists. The survey showed 76% of the neonatologists thought it was ethically permissible to issue a ‘Do Not Attempt Resuscitation’, (DNAR), without asking or notifying the parents for an infant when they “felt it impossible” for the child to survive.
