WATCH! U.S Hospital planned to euthanize women who wanted to live

A video has surfaced of a 64-year-old woman with lung cancer saying ‘I want to live’ while the hospital is planning on euthanizing her by cutting her oxygen.

The LLDF, The Life Legal Defense Fund released this statement on Facebook:

Catie is a patient at a hospital in Minnesota. She has lung cancer and needs oxygen to remain comfortable. The hospital plans to remove Catie’s oxygen tomorrow morning, which will result in her death by suffocation.

Catie is on video saying she does not want the hospital to “pull the plug.” She relayed this to the hospital’s chaplain, who was sent to Catie’s room by the hospital to prepare her to be euthanized. Even though the hospital has been sedating Catie, she understands what the hospital is planning to do and says she is still fighting and is “not ready” to die.

We are appalled that a hospital would even consider withdrawing oxygen from a patient who has clearly communicated that she wants to live. When asked if she wants her oxygen removed, Catie’s response was “NO! I want to live!”

Withdrawing Catie’s oxygen to cause her death is active euthanasia, which is illegal in Minnesota and every other state.

Life Legal is evaluating legal options at this time.

(They said) “Do you want to pull the plug,” Cassidy says first on the video. “I said “NO!”

“And I said I want to live,” Cassidy then states. 

“Yeah,” a woman in the room with her responds. “You’re still fighting.”

Cassidy indicates she hadn’t caught what the woman had said, replying, “What?”

“You’re still fighting, right?” the woman then asks Cassidy. 

“You’re telling me!” Cassidy responds. 

“I said I’m not ready,” she goes on. 

“He said, ‘You don’t want to pull the plug?'” Cassidy continues. “I said, ‘no way!’”

Even though the hospital has been sedating Cassidy, LLDF said, she understands what the hospital is planning to do and says she is still fighting and is “not ready” to die.

“I am appalled that a hospital would even consider withdrawing oxygen from a patient who has clearly communicated that she wants to live,” Snyder said. “When asked if she wants her oxygen removed, Catie’s response was ‘No! I want to live!’” 

“Withdrawing Catie’s oxygen to cause her death is active euthanasia,” said Snyder, “which is illegal in Minnesota and every other state. We implore the hospital to do the right thing and provide the care Catie needs.”

This video is absolutely tragic and shows the dangers of legalizing euthanasia. The fact that this hospital is considering doing this while it is illegal shows just how frequently it may happen.

As I was writing this article her wishes to remain alive were granted by the hostipal:

COMMENT FROM LLDF:

Thank you SO MUCH to all who showed up for Catie by getting the word out and calling the hospital. You are AMAZING! I learned a few minutes ago that the hospital is not going to remove Catie’s oxygen. They agreed to abide by her wishes and the wishes of her health care proxy to allow Catie to remain on oxygen. She is resting comfortably now. Thank you again!
