why would the government willingly choose to make the dying process more complicated and painful than it already is? bc they just want folks to die. they don’t care about quality or quantity of life if you’re unable to work (and sometimes even when you are).

and that’s eugenics.

the dying process is so much more complex than many USians are allowed to believe. some folks are dying for YEARS. they know the inevitable outcome, but they have time.

and why would the gov. remove a vital component of their care if they understood the inherent worth of every human?

so why is it eugenics if someone is already dying?

bc they deserve to have their pain managed so they can handle emotional, relational, spiritual, legal/financial, or any other tasks they want at the end of life. to me, THAT’s dignity in dying.

without adequate pain management at the end of life, what are your options? would you choose debilitating pain of organ shut down and various torturous physical symptoms? that’s why i’m concerned about medical aid in dying.

how many will choose death bc pain management isn’t an option? 3/6

morphine is common and necessary in hospice and palliative care. but it’s still incredibly stigmatized, with family members being concerned their dying loved one will become addicted

but to be addicted you have to be alive and many folks receiving this care are in various stages of dying. 2/6

not to jump the gun here, but decreasing availability and access to medications used in end-of-life care sounds like a set up to introduce medical aid in dying which, in this case (and many other cases), would be eugenics. 1/6

My Mom came home yesterday for Hospice comfort care. She’s on oral morphine every hour.

I’m am scared & furious because I am almost out of morphine & her Doc & nurses are busy looking for more. Not one pharmacy in my town has any right now & they don’t know when they will be getting more in.

An underrated hack for choosing a quality therapist is to feel out their attitude toward continuing education. Quality therapists take it seriously & go out of their way to learn about topics they aren't specialists in. Mediocre therapists tend to be dismissive & avoidant of CEU’s.

High levels of chemicals are produced by the body early in infection to mobilise the infection fighting cells.

Those chemicals also irritate the heart making it jumpy.

And by jumpy, I do mean dead.

Cambridge scientists from the World Health Network reviewed over 200 studies and found that SARS-CoV-2 can cause immune dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and accelerated aging which parallels HIV in key ways, though it remains distinct.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.
