Sunday Stealing - Compassion, Int'l

 

Compassion, Int'l

1. Do you ever have funny dreams at night? Yes, but they have gone from my memory very fast. But I woke up several times giggling. 2. If you could make a law for your country, what would it be? No "digital forms only" without giving minima and 65+ a smartphone for free. And witnessing what happened during Covid I would like to have a law for emergency euthanasia. Old people and chronically ill people who would not survive and intensive care treatment were kept at home and when they were too ill all choice they had was for palliative sedation. I don't want that. Not under any circumstance. Not for myself, but not for my children and others. They put one under and then give no food, no water and no medication. So they put you to sleep and just let you die. Especially during the pandemic, when no one was allowed to visit, the person is just left alone until there are no life signs anymore. I was amazed that only one person, a feminist who has done a tremendous lot of good for our country, was stating the same as I had published a couple of days ago: emergency euthanasaia should be possible, as normal euthanasia would take too much time. I already gave the rules:

• medical opinion (or 2) that the person is seriously ill. Under normal circumstances he or she would be admitted to Intensive Care.
• No place at Intensive Care or no outlook for a kind of quality of living after Intensive Caretreatment.
• No chance to get better.
• A video or any other way of filming, with the person stating tht palliative care is not wished, that there is a clear choice fore euthnasia.
• and some other rules that safeguard that there is a clear choice of a person in a lethal situation. When the pandemic started I was told I would not be admitted to the Intensive Care. I have a heartdisease and kidneyproblems. The medication at the Intensive Care would lead at its best to dialysis, but with so many people needing dialysis because of Covid treatment I would be the last on th list. So I would die. In other words: I would not be admitted to hospital and would have to die at home. Palliative sedation is something I don't want my children to witness, but during that stage of the pandemic at least 2 would have to deal with it, as they lived at home. So I wanted euthanasia in that situation. However it takes at least 6 weeks to get the permission for doctor to act. I would have died a gruesome death by then. So I want a law for well regulated emergency euthnasia.
