Both female and male patients had a lower patient mortality when treated by female physicians; however, the benefit of receiving care from female physicians was larger for female patients than for male patients.
Of note, the study was conducted on 800k senior citizens.
The findings may not be generalizable to younger populations.
Good. The right to a dignified end of life should not be infringed when the conditions of living are unbearable.
Those who want some people to sit around and suffer, to not be able to participate in anything, to be a high maintenance ornament in someone's life, because they feel it's morally incorrect to give someone peace, need to get their heads checked and their morals examined pronto.
Forcing someone other than yourself to suffer because of your morals is sociopathic. You don't live that life, so you don't get to decide. You already have your own priveliged life to decide over. It's not your right to decide what other people do with theirs, even if you're close family. If a person is of sound mind and wants to start that long, beurocratic laden process, then so be it.
There should be barrier to entry, but not a complete ban.
The problem is "who decides." In a perfect world, the patient would always be of sound mind, and the patient would always decide. But then who decides if the patient is of sound mind?
There should be barrier to entry, but not a complete ban.
This is absolutely true, but that barrier to entry is always going to exclude some people who arguably should not be excluded. There will always be dissatisfaction, and there will always be complaints like yours.
But then who decides if the patient is of sound mind?
Professional psychiatrists, the family and the individual... like seriously. Do you think the process is easy? Go on, brew some coffee or tea and then sit to search how certain countries handle dignified end of life.
See how that process is usually a long series of tests, conversations and verification. It's not "let's pop down to the doctors and get grandma euthanised". It's an insane amount of beurocracy and a lot of time before you even get close to a due date, and even then you can cancel at any time.
I think people need to get more informed about this issue, because you can't exactly form an opinion without seeing how something like that can work IRL, when it's been proven to work IRL. More people are accepting of it and a lot of pain and heartache will be spared because of it, because at the end of the day it's about dignity.
Forcing people to continue when they can have no life to continue, when they are a financial and emotional burden on their families and unable to actually grow and live, like an actual person, like me and you. To force them to just sit there, like a potted plant, like a doll you put away on the shelf when you return to your life. That is selfish, that is undignified.
People try to go down the slippery slope that’ll turn into a culling of the sick or old.
Nobody is suggesting that. What is being suggested is let people choose when it’s time. I agree with that. Let people die on their own terms Oregon has the law and people often ask for it and then don’t use it
There is a very big difference between the headline of "Bird flu virus found in pasteurized milk" and the real message "fragments of the bird flu virus had been detected in some samples of pasteurized milk in the U.S.". Turning potential health hazards and threats into harmless particles is the very job of pasteurizing. That is excactly why we pasteurize milk.
Heck, the virus particles could even evoke immune reactions, thus vaccinating us in a natural way. Just by drinking milk.
Not too far fetched. Many vaccines are made with surface proteins from viruses that can be recognized by the immune system. But my guess is going through the pasteurization most proteins would be denatured and not in the functional form.
The footage of the premature baby born to a dead mother killed in a bombing, who then followed her into death moments later, was especially chilling. Can you imagine the outrage if that happened to someone from New York, or Britain, or Germany? But because they're Palestinians the mother and newborn, both killed inside a "safe zone", will be just a footnote.
There are no safe zones for Palestinians as far as Israel is concerned. Just in the last day Israel's Finance Minister Smotrich has called for the "complete destruction" of Gaza and stopping peace talks with Hamas. "He said Israel needed to attack Rafah "as fast and as strongly as possible, and then continue with the strip until its complete destruction".
They like to tell themselves that. There's a lot more Korean blood mixed in than anyone will admit; the fact everyone feels the need to hide it says a lot.
Let’s highlight the actual points in this article instead of taking Hexbear at their word:
emphasizing that violent protest is not protected under the law.
Biden emphasized that “peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues”
“Whether it’s antisemitism, Islamophobia or discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans, it’s simply wrong... In America, we respect the right and protect the rights for them to express that, but it doesn’t mean anything goes. It needs to be done without violence, without distraction, without hating and within the law.”
The president also said “no” to a separate shouted question asking whether he thinks the National Guard should intervene in the campus protests.
To summarize, he respects their right to protest and called for nonviolence without citing any side in particular. Notable that there have been violent counter-protestors.
Since there's more than one of you ignorant settler narcissists replying to the above comment to the tune of "as long as I'm not inconvenienced...", I'm not taking the time to respond to all of you individually: WHAT DO YOU THINK THE POINT OF A PROTEST IS, YOU COMFORTABLE SUBURBANITE COLONOIDS? THE POINT IS TO BE SEEN! THE POINT IS TO DRAW ATTENTION TO AN INJUSTICE!
Now it shouldn't surprise me that the sons and daughters of Kent State's protestors have this take, but it disgusts me; because y'all wanna talk all this bullshit about failures of civics classes when your blueanon genocidairés fail to get the votes you think they're automatically entitled to, then you'll say some bullshit like "I'm against any protest I can't ignore". I hope you keep that same energy when it's your face the government is forcing its boot down on; 'cause I'll be dead by then-- and if I wasn't? I'd laugh at you. I'd make jokes at your expense. I'd spit on your cause as I walked by. Finally, after all that got boring, I'd ignore you. THE EXACT SAME WAY Y'ALL DO RIGHT NOW.
Death to the settlers. John Brown should've killed more slavers; maybe we'd have less settler treatbrains to deal with in the here-and-now.
It is wild how all through the Trump presidency, "fact-checkers" gleefully and loudly documented thousands upon thousands of lies from white to blood-red on the part of Trump and his administration-- but all of a sudden when it comes time to fact-check Biden, hella folk start quitting, and you never really hear about it til someone like you pulls up with the links
Violence begins with cops or fascist agitators*. So far the students have had the discipline to not retaliate, which is what the violent agitators want.
Every single one of the US's amendments came not through voting, or within the political system itself. Every single one was accompanied by violent and disruptive protest and the threat from the masses below.
No one cares about the uninformed State-Department-regurgitation you call an 'opinion' except for other uninformed settler wastrels sipping the same governmental vomitus; you collaborating dog.
Remember when Biden condemned the brutal police response against the BlackLivesMatter protest? That's when Trump was in office and Biden was running against him. He stated there must be a right to assembly and freedom of speech. Yet when he's put in a similar situation, it's no different. The US is accelerating their decline to further line the pockets of the ruling class. It's legitimately horrendous!
