Death with No Dignity, U.S. Style!

From the NSP News Service:  The story of these two ill, elderly patients in a Pennsylvania Nursing Home setting is nothing less than heart-wrenching.  Only in America, eh?  In a National Socialist State envisioned by the NSP, the two could have chosen death with complete dignity, of their own design and minds, at the hands of a benevolent, caring State. In a statement made to this reporter, Dr. Jacques Pluss, NSP Leader, recounts how he allegedly euthanized his mother, Nina B. Pluss, M.D., at her own request after a debilitating stroke at the age of 85.  According to unconfirmed reports, Dr. Pluss was aided by his daughter, Rebecca Anne Pluss (then a very different person than she seems to be now) and his then-fiancee, Ms. Jessica Stephens.  It is also speculated that some of the nursing staff at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, NJ, were complicit in helping carry out Dr. Nina Pluss's last wishes, as was her own personal physician, the late Faoud Hannah, M.D.  If that story is true, it is a fine example of filial piety and respect.

But the story below is an example of just how things should never be done.

Man kills elderly wife in murder-suicide at Pennsylvania hospice, DA says By M. Alex Johnson, staff writer, NBC News Tue Mar 19, 2013 3:58 PM EDT

An 83-year-old woman and her husband were found shot to death in her hospice room Tuesday in what authorities in Allentown, Pa., were investigating as a murder-suicide.

Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin said there were no witnesses to the incident at Lehigh Valley Hospital. He said the man, identified as Elwood Osman, shot his wife, Mildred, and then killed himself.

The shooting was confined to the room, and "no other patients or staff were placed in jeopardy," Martin said in a statement after the bodies were found about 1 p.m. ET.

"Contrary to some rumors, this was not an active shooter situation," he said.

Chuck Lewis, senior vice president of Lehigh Valley Health Network, which operates the facility, confirmed that the dead woman was an inpatient in the hospice unit.

On its website, the hospital says patients can enter the hospice unit only with a diagnosis of a terminal illness and a life expectancy of six months or less.

All of the rooms are private, meaning there wouldn't have been a second patient in the woman's room to have witnessed the incident.
