Thoughts About Euthanasia, Abortions, and Botched Executions

Kenny Minker published an article via Medium.com titled "The Global Shift Toward Legalizing Euthanasia Is Moving Fast". It is an excellent read. After reading, I left a few comments.  My thoughts shared at the article are also published below.  I would like my comments to be seen by my JDV blog visitors, who don't visit the Medium platform.

I've always been curious about euthanasia.

I have heard stories about abortion clinics. Sometimes when the fetus is surgically removed from the womb, it is late enough in the pregnancy that the little baby human has a heartbeat and lungs. In other words, the baby removed from the womb is ALIVE! The babies even cry. In those cases, they place the living babies in a dark room and let them LITERALLY … CRY THEMSELVES TO DEATH!!

Some might think that's not murder. Some might say it's a type of euthanasia, a mercy killing. After all, the baby wasn't wanted in this world anyway! So what if they survived a violent abortion? You know? SO WHAT!!

So suppose when administering euthanasia for a full-grown person ~ a senior citizen, a middle-aged adult, a young adult, a teenager, or a person of any age, old enough to be living outside of the womb. Suppose after whatever it is that the doctor does to put the patient to death … THEY DON'T DIE!!

What should be done? Take a sledgehammer and bash the person's head in. Take a sharp blade and chop off the person's head. Throw them off the top of a skyscraper.

DID YOU KNOW? Prisoners on death row have survived lethal injections or other forms of botched executions.

DID YOU KNOW? If the death row prisoners survived their execution, do you know that there are people who would argue that the law should not allow another attempt to execute. Because it would be “cruel and unusual punishment”.

What would be the law of a person SURVIVED A MERCY KILLING?

Yeah yeah yeah … there were official bona-fide health records with doctors and nurses certifying up and down that that patient was never going to make it! They were going to dwindle and wither away in great pain and agony. We all know records kept by human beings can never be falsified. Right?

We all know that family members would never contemplate getting rid of another family member because taking care of them is not only expensive, but burdensome and inconvenient. Family will always show mercy when it's their family. Right?

* Have you ever thought that some deaths that have occurred by way of LEGAL euthanasia were NOT actually and genuinely for the sake of showing mercy to the poor suffering individual?

* Have you ever wondered about how many people would “conveniently” die from legalized “mercy killings” if euthanasia were legal all around the world?

If doctors really had the power over life and death, why is it they usually tell families and loved ones: “I've done all that I can do. Now we just have to wait.” OR "I've done all that I can do. But I couldn't save them."

Death with dignity? Uh huh.

Euthanasia is really just Murder dressed up to look like an act of mercy.

Life and death are acts of God.

Are You Ready to Trust Dr. AI? (My Answer to This Question)

Kshitija(KJ) Gupte published an article via Medium.com titled "Are we ready to put our health in the hands of Dr. AI?". It is an excellent read. After reading I left a few comments.  When it comes to the use of AI by members of the healthcare profession, almost everybody has thoughts about this topic.  My thoughts shared at the article are also published below.  I would like my comments with my JDV blog visitors, who don't visit the Medium platform.

I don't have any problem with "Dr. AI". The technology is not the problem. The misuse and abuse of technology is the problem.

And who can misuse and abuse technology? HUMANS!

So it all boils down to whether or not people in the healthcare profession have ethics and morals, mercy and compassion ... i.e. humanity.

Because all the technology in the world can't replace the mind of a person who is dishonest and has no integrity. Whether they use AI or not, you're putting your health in their hands.

The thing is ... you can't always spot a doctor who is disguised as “Dr. Death”, who is misdiagnosing you intentionally, to make merchandise out of you.

Several years ago, I lived in a US city where there was an article in the newspaper about doctors who were deliberately misdiagnosing patients, making them sicker, and then re-diagnosing them (after their condition had worsened) so that they could continue to treat them for a longer period of time. Why cure your patient on their first visit, when you can keep them coming back over and over again? Disgusting isn't it? Sad, but true.

Artificial intelligence is just a tool to be used in conjunction with human intelligence.

But nobody has figured out how to program the intelligence of a person to be a DECENT HUMAN BEING!!
