SB 494

The test case allows a caregiver to quit feeding a dementia patient, who wants to eat.

Quote:

SB 494 removes the statutory safeguards that currently prevent the representative of a patient with Alzheimer’s disease or mental illness from ordering facilities to withhold food and water from the patient even if the patient did not indicate this desire in an advance directive and shows a desire to eat...By removing power of attorney from the statute, SB 494 is creating ambiguity as to the authority of a health care representative to make decisions for the incapable person.

In other words, a commissar could theoretically make the decision.

Dave Hodges says that mental illnesses are subjective, so reminds of the abuse of psychiatry, to malign dissidents.

I found no reliable sources for this assertion.

This senate bill is #1 in a Google listing of 98,300 results, found in 0.25 seconds.

Additionally, you know that a formal healthcare provider is an accredited, subsidized, and micro-managed, state interest, lending itself to intellectual bias.

You are under whichever status is assigned to you, regardless of my opinion on the issue. It doesn't matter whether you will try to fact check or create drag on the discussion. I have nothing to do with it.

The bill text does not support the assertion. All the reporting comes from fetus people, who lie constantly.

I will recuse myself from showing literal photos of that.
