      Voluntary End-of-Life Measures Banned at Catholic Hospitals

By PAULA SPAN </author/paula-span/>

In the book I discussed last week, Zoe FitzGerald Carter's "Imperfect 
Endings," a woman growing increasingly incapacitated from Parkinson's 
disease 
<http://newoldage.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/01/a-mothers-decision-to-die/> 
deliberately stops eating and drinking so she can die in her home with 
her children and grandchildren nearby. It's a controversial decision, 
both within her own family and in the society at large, but it's a legal 
one --- and a personal one that doesn't require any bureaucracy's 
blessing....[cont'd at link above...]

*Washington's Assisted Suicide Stats Revealed*

By Peter J. Smith

OLYMPIA, Washington, March 8, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com 
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/>) -- Washington State's health department 
has now released their first annual report for the Death with Dignity 
Act, the voter-approved law that legalized assisted suicide in 2008 and 
went into effect on March 5, 2009.

The State Department of Health reports that 63 individuals requested and 
received lethal prescriptions to kill themselves under the Act for the 
year 2009. Forty-seven individuals have died. Of these 36 patients were 
confirmed to have killed themselves by ingesting the poisonous medicine. 
(Statistics available here 
<http://www.doh.wa.gov/dwda/forms/DWDA_2009.pdf>)

Sixteen patients still have a status that is "unknown at this time." The 
health department speculates some of these "participants" may have opted 
to "wait to use the medication" or "choose not to use it." It further 
adds that some may have taken the lethal doses and died, but that the 
Department of Health has not yet received the After Death Reporting Form 
(due 30 days after death) and the Death Certificate (due 60 days after 
death.)

Cancer was the underlying illness in 79 percent of patients seeking to 
kill themselves. Neurodegenerative disease and respiratory disease 
accounted for nine percent each, with the rest being other illnesses.

But when it came to reasons for dying, pain did not factor high on the 
list of "end of life concerns." Just twenty-five percent, or eleven out 
of 44 individuals that had applied for lethal medication, cited 
"inadequate pain control or concern about it."

In fact the top three reasons expressed by participants for wanting to 
die were ranked "losing autonomy" (100%), "less able to engage in 
activities making life enjoyable" (91%), and "loss of dignity" (82%).

Forty-one percent of those that died expressed fear of "losing control 
of bodily functions."

Ten individuals (23%) cited the burden they would put on their family, 
friends and caregivers. 

"This is a marker of possible abuse because the person was pressured to 
feel that way," said pro-life advocate and euthanasia foe, Alex 
Schadenberg of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition.

Schadenberg said that there are several indicators in the report that 
point towards possible elder abuse: the majority of patients were over 
65 and educated, and half had some form of private insurance. "These 
factors are consistent with their being individuals with money. Older 
people with money are prime targets of abuse," he said, citing a Met 
Life study 
<http://www.metlife.com/assets/cao/mmi/publications/studies/mmi-study-broken-trust-elders-family-finances.pdf>.  

Schadenberg pointed to a report from Washington attorney Margaret Dore, 
expressing the same concerns over the elderly becoming victims under the 
Act, allegedly because the law as written invites coercion. Dore pointed 
out in a July 2009 article 
<http://wsba.org/media/publications/barnews/jul-09+deathwithdignity.htm> 
for the Washington State Bar News that the elderly may feel pressure to 
kill themselves from their heirs, who can co-sign as witnesses on the 
lethal prescription.

Dore writes that the law requires the individual's consent to receive 
the prescription for lethal medication; but it does not require his 
consent to ingest the medication and kill himself. In addition, no 
witnesses are required at the time of death, so there is no way to prove 
whether it was the individual himself who took the medication, or 
whether it was administered, perhaps forcibly, by someone else.

"Even if he struggled, who would know? The lethal dose request would 
provide the alibi," wrote Dore. "This scenario would seem especially 
significant for patients with money."

The law also requires 
<http://www.doh.wa.gov/dwda/forms/MEsAndCoroners.pdf> prosecutors to 
treat the individual's death as "natural," making it practically 
impossible for the authorities to pursue suspicions of foul-play.

The health department report also indicates that only three individuals 
out of the sixty-three were referred for psychological or psychiatric 
counseling before applying to receive lethal medication -- an additional 
cause of concern, in the view of anti-euthanasia activists.

"Someone could possibly appear to be confident or appear to be lucid, 
but that does not mean they actually are lucid," Schadenberg told 
LifeSiteNews.com. "The fact is that people lots of times make decisions 
that they would not make otherwise, and with a little counseling and 
support, they would say, 'I don't really want this.' But no they've not 
even given them the chance."

"It's really not about confidence or choice or anything like that. The 
fact is that the goal is about providing death to people, and 
death-on-demand."

Illinois Bill, 'Reproductive and Health Access Act,' Would Increase 
Breast Cancer, Premature Birth Rates, Reports Coalition on 
Abortion/Breast Cancer

MEDIA ADVISORY, March 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Coalition on 
Abortion/Breast Cancer announced today its opposition to the 
euphemistically-named Illinois bill, "Reproductive and Health Access 
Act," HB 6205 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103170664773&s=16890&e=001DwsNJ-VmdUn9wm3KFqN03SZ4xZL3PbTpd44nWV2e1GX5sJjzM6UmkZnJnb3m9ZHhLBmB1NhZlqrYaICTapi4Fns_VpeqfwlGqHTLawlulpZGa-_ktBkrr_iL11HZChrptTNuYIAErP4dBXIFEi__IOCxVg1GzagLgm5j2I3fR6IOKpSP3iUP5khUmlkqFtpJpSuc688SJryr0PiBFF_29AGIlkfLZzXExZTmGY_DBK6tOt8p5QDqUU8qqJqfCCWH>. 
The women's group has published a position paper 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103170664773&s=16890&e=001DwsNJ-VmdUme4gEzkx5lBvOsNcCNg6TAfULGheNhBrzMaHRvvzGd58Ld-J6680JUxC3DeYhTGrdy_V-8CDfZ_4ic1RITcEv0VMrexivxeQykfBnnBL4gf0Zin3zWkpUsqV4PAfJJZ_s5Esnon46tUV60fbP3OfRXzJQnBRdZS4VXyLfpH_a0cw==>

"Contrary to what the bill's title says, it will significantly damage 
the health of women and their children in subsequent pregnancies," 
declared Karen Malec, president of the Coalition. "It is indisputable 
that an expansion of abortion in Illinois will lead to increased rates 
of breast cancer and premature births.

"Medical texts report that increased childbearing, starting at a younger 
age, and increased breastfeeding sharply reduce breast cancer risk. 
Childbearing helps protect women from breast cancer. Abortion results in 
the loss of that protective effect. Doctors are ethically obligated to 
inform pregnant women that abortion will leave them with a higher breast 
cancer risk than would childbearing.

"Our position paper shows that the abortion-premature birth link is 
settled science -- with three systematic reviews and meta-analyses last 
year having confirmed it and the Institute of Medicine's recognition of 
it. Premature birth increases the risks of neonatal death, mental 
retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy and difficulties walking, seeing 
and hearing.

"The bill requires public schools to teach comprehensive sex education 
which often involves informing students about oral contraceptives. Our 
position paper shows that oral contraceptives were linked to a four-fold 
increased risk of the deadly triple-negative breast cancer. The World 
Health Organization has listed combined oral contraceptives as a Group 1 
carcinogen 
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103170664773&s=16890&e=001DwsNJ-VmdUnqQfyFPxmFfnnzeCej_oCrUzJXJsy_JCPnL-v-Y9RqPfxEom_7F7k1liakG8tP2OXrSOfO2GKmktGW7txd-1qQjE6IBKryTbwMo5msVoJarcqlU2zCYgi7RnG3UeR4YjNK-UH-BfPJPqeAUN-9BgdbeMBWhOAlOVs=> 
-- meaning carcinogenic to humans. Oral contraceptives are on the same 
list as asbestos, tobacco, benzene, arsenic, cadmium and combined 
hormone replacement therapy. Teachers who push these drugs will be 
giving some students a death sentence.

"It is deplorable that abortion enthusiasts in government and the 
abortion industry would ignore more than a half- century of scientific 
evidence and inflict catastrophic injuries and deaths upon Americans. 
Terrorists have not wreaked such immense destruction on this country," 
asserted Mrs. Malec.

/The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer is an international women's 
organization founded to protect the health and save the lives of women 
by educating and providing information on abortion as a risk factor for 
breast cancer./ for legislators and interested citizens.

Catholic Families for America Initiates Novena to St. Joseph to Protect 
American Families from Obamacare

"While we will continue to fight hard in the legislative process to stop 
the pro-abortion, anti-family Obamacare debacle, we also understand that 
we should not forget the 'spiritual warfare' that is equally important. 
Appealing to St. Joseph, patron of families, especially as we lead up to 
his feast day on March 19th, makes perfect sense," said Dr. Kevin 
Roberts, Executive Director of Catholic Families for America.

WASHINGTON, March 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- Today a leading 
organization of lay Catholics announced its sponsorship of a Novena to 
St. Joseph in order to defeat the radically pro-abortion, anti-family 
health care legislation being debated in Congress. With St. Joseph's 
feast day on March 19th, and plans in the House to vote on the 
legislation at approximately the same time, Catholics should turn to the 
patron saint of families for his intercession.

"At this point, we believe we are winning this debate, whether we 
consider the bungled legislative process or the public's awareness of 
the bill's problems," said Dr. Kevin Roberts, Executive Director of 
Catholic Families for America. "But as faithful Catholics we must not 
miss the chance to invoke the intercession of the second most important 
saint, St. Joseph, considering that his feast day coincides with the 
voting schedule, and that he is the patron saint of families."

Those interested in joining CFA's network of several thousand members 
can access the novena prayers at www.catholicfamiliesusa.org

/Catholic Families for America is a nationwide public advocacy 
organization, headed by lay Catholics, that lobbies Congress, endorses 
candidates, and conducts voter education programs, all with the aim of 
promoting authentic Church teaching in the public square.

The organization is headquartered in Austin, Texas, but also has offices 
in Washington./
