Sport of Medicine

With extant or coming "death panels", will doctors be remunerated more for each patient they determine is no longer viable? Will physicians be compensated more by their Federal medical masters for writing off a patient under the auspices of "medical futility" and discontinuing treatment than for trying to actually prolong the life of the patient? What is here already or coming soon is as bad or worse than the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, wherein African-Americans were used as unwary test subjects as a venereal disease was allowed to run wild, the similarly evil Guatemala Syphilis Experiment, and even rises to the level of the Nazi Action T4 program that promoted medical murder of so-called "undesirables". Denying informed consent, withholding life-sustaining care (including nutrition and hydration), and engaging in deliberate deception of the patient and patient's family nears what doctors were tried for at Nuremberg.
