what a flip flopper (5.00 / 0) (#10)
by Sailor on Sun Aug 12, 2007 at 04:18:34 PM EST
ppj's previous position was 'good, let them die'; now suddenly he's all humanitarian, which would seem to be counter to his constant endorsement of kidnapping, humiliation and torture ... except force feeding an unwilling patient is torture.

And BTW, ppj's understanding of medical ethics is as absent as his personal ethics IRT this subject.

Dying with dignity is a human right, recognized by the UN, the AMA and the WMA. DNR is a personal choice recognized the world over by medical professionals.

As he and/or his wife will face that decision soon I would hope that some empathy, or at least teh better angels of his nature, will come into existence.

He holds the same view that I do.  Saying "good, let them die" is not contradictory from saying "what's wrong with force feeding them?" I would personally prefer that they let these scumbags die, but if they prefer not to allow them to become martyrs, I can go alnog with that.

but making things up is despicable, unethical and a few other things I will leave unsaid.

ppj's previous position was 'good, let them die';

Prove it. And if you can't, then we know that you are just an ankle biting first class fibber.
