Well that is troubling! If anything we should be INCREASING hospice care and counseling the dying and their families about using it. Versus, consuming extraordinary resources to preserve life for another "two weeks" for an alzhiemer patient who doesn't have a clue WHY you are sticking them with needles and messing with them in general. You know you just might be scaring the crap out of them with all those "tests". Maybe, just maybe, it would be more humane to simply let them pass on in peace, in a hospice, surrounded by caring and loving people and a family that understands WHY it is in the patients best interest to be there!

But NOOOOO, here comes Palin screaming about "death squads", she is SUCH an idiot!!!
