Are Doctors Who Favour “Non Selection Treatment” or Passive Euthanasia Acting Selfishly?
Question by MrSandman: Are doctors who favour “non selection treatment” or passive euthanasia acting selfishly?
This question is for supporters of euthansia!
Some doctors feel quite strongly in their resolve that passive euthansia is more humane than active euthansia.
Why? If the decision has already been taken that death is in the best interest of the patient, is it not more humane to the patient to ensure that death is quick and their suffering is kept to absolute minimum?
In the case of babies with severe spina bifida, passive euthanasia, as I understand it, involves stopping all forms of treatment such as drugs which can drag the process of dying for weeks on end thereby prolonging the agony of both the child and the parents.

How Long Will It Take to Detox and Recover From 4mg Xanax?
Question by Cody: How long will it take to detox and recover from 4mg Xanax?
Long story short, about a year and a half ago I was having tremors in my hands and some mild-mid level anxiety so a Dr. put me on 4mg Xanax a day- (1mg every 4 hours) adding up to 4mg by the end of the day. Didn’t realize the effect until I missed a does and felt withdrawls. I started to taper but want to get this stuff out of my body asap- so scary… so I’ve made a choice to go to a treatment center to detox (I go next week). I will be in treatment for 14 days… I’m really kind of freaking- ’cause now I’m reading about all these nightmare experiences people have had from this drug.
