The slippery slope is becoming ever more slippery. See my post here about a physically fit 28-year-old woman who has scheduled her own death.

I read years ago about elderly patients in the Netherlands who feared they would be euthanized if they went into the hospital. It was a reasonable fear. "Termination of life without request" is not a rare situation. It is increasing in every country that promotes assisted suicide. And too often the deliberate murder of the patient is involved even when they desire to live.
The Bioethics Observatory of the Catholic University of Valencia has a number of alarming articles exposing the increasing incidence of deliberate euthanasia of patients. You can read some of them here. While the high profile cases make the news, most of those hastened to the morgue are invisible.
Sr. Dede Byrne saw her close friend, Sr. Philip Marie Burle, medically murdered. She vowed to expose what happened and worked with others to create a film outlining the last days of Sr. Philip Marie. Watch the trailer No Mercy: The Catholic Culture of Death. You can also request to join the group, Murdered by Hospice. More and more families are experiencing the government-incentivized murder of their loved ones by stealth euthanasia. Please share information about this documentary with others, especially those with loved ones in nursing homes or hospice.
When my mother was dying we used home hospice and had a positive experience, but I was in total control of the administration of drugs and oversaw all the visits. She did not have a DNR. I gave her almost nothing in the kit Hospice provided except for an occasional pain patch. She never complained, but I could tell when she was in pain and encouraged her to use the patch for relief.
There is little dignity these days for the helpless even in Catholic settings where one would expect it. The deliberate murder of Grace Schara, a 19 year old with Downs Syndrome, was an egregious of not only her rights, but those of her family who tried to save her. Unfortunately, in the culture of death, the deck is stacked. Grace's father has filed a civil case against the hospital and medical personnel which is scheduled for trial in November. He hopes her death will not be in vain as he struggles to expose the evils of a rogue medical profession that long ago abandoned the Hippocratic oath to "First do no harm."
I hope this documentary is spread far and wide. God promises that all things work together for good to those who love Him and serve according to His purpose. This film is an act of love. May it awaken many to be more vigilant in protecting their loved ones.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Our Lady, Help of the Sick, pray for us.
St. Luke, great and glorious physician, pray for us.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
