   I overheard one of the doctor's on my unit (rehab) telling a patient who had asked her about certain herbal combinations he was taking to alleviate MS, that she didn't know that much about herbal remedies, or diet for that matter as they weren't taug...

2. Euthanasia battle's new focus: Infants

   robsta replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU

   We're dealing with issues, not personalities. Agendas, ideas, and government policies are more important than personality cults. Hitler was an important figure, but Nazism and Fascism could have arisen without him. The ideologies that spawned Nazism ...

   Did you actually read the contents of the article I posted? You may not agree with my position, but there's a large body of work out there that supports my position. Other than the ethical issue of terminating life before natural death occurs, pro-li...

   Here's an interesting article that expresses my opinion on the matter. Please note the underlying parallels from the early part of the twentieth century, most of which pre-dated the Nazi era, and today. Lessons from History: Euthanasia in Nazi German...

   Pro-euthanasia advocates seems to want to discuss the issue from one perspective only - the pro-euthanasia one; as if we both agree with the rationale behind euthanasia and are just quibbling about whether or not it should be legalized. Then they att...

   No, I didn't *miss Talaxandra's point* - what you meant to say was *I didn't agree with her point* which is entirely different. It's disingenuous to claim that bringing up *Hitler* and the *Nazis* clouds the issue. We have so few historical preceden...

   The common mis-perception happens to be true though. Henry Friedlander shows in great detail how the T-4 euthanasia program evolved into the Final Solution - not as a prologue, but as an integral part of the dehumanization process that made the whole...

   Here's my take on it. You asked a very difficult ethical question, btw. Good question. » Removing Life Support - is the removal of life sustaining services without which the pt. could die. This may or may not be the desire of the pt. or the pt.'s fam...

    robsta replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU

    Yes, you're right - an anti-euthanasia advocate like myself would see the withdrawal of fluid and nutrition as *passive euthanasia* - one is not actively administering an agent that could bring on death, but is seeking to terminate life by witholding...

    robsta replied to Sleepyeyes's topic in General Nursing

    Before the advent of bio-diesel, wasn't there talk about developing auto engines that would run on nitrogen? Or was I just dreaming? I drive an older car that gets great mpgal - and ride my bike when it's not raining. robsta :)
