    robsta replied to wenron's topic in Holistic

    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...

  2. Euthanasia battle's new focus: Infants

    robsta replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    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...

  3. Euthanasia battle's new focus: Infants

    robsta replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    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...

  4. Euthanasia battle's new focus: Infants

    robsta replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    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...

  5. Euthanasia battle's new focus: Infants

    robsta replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    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...

    robsta replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    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*...

  7. Euthanasia battle's new focus: Infants

    robsta replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Here's an interesting article from the *California Nurses' Association* that I thought would be of interest to readers of this forum. - robsta Euthanasia- A New Book Dissects the Debate Kit Costello,...

  8. Euthanasia battle's new focus: Infants

    robsta replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    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...

  9. Euthanasia battle's new focus: Infants

    robsta replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    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...

  10. Euthanasia battle's new focus: Infants

    robsta replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    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...

    robsta replied to Louisepug's topic in Holistic

    Thanks for the link.

  15. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    robsta replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    Or the welfare comparison, where for whatever reason, a person isn't able to or doesn't want to participate in the labor market - we still feel that they should get something back, even if they...

  16. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    robsta replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you're making sense if I understand you correctly: the patient is still alive even though EEGs indicate possible brain death. Autonomically, the body is still functioning. So the patient is not...

    Oops! My apologies. Très :imbar However, my post still stands - drs. in the Netherlands are killing patients - the elderly, teenagers, children, infants... and now newborns. robtsa

    robsta replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    No, you're not the only one who's witnessed a doc euthanise a patient - either with or without their consent. The article below claims that 45% of neo-natologists surveyed in a Dutch study admitted to...

  21. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    robsta replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    I would tend to agree also. We live during a period where babies are being aborted in many Third World countries, China, and Eastern Europe, and sold for medical research and/or parts to medical...
