Wow. That is one of the most reprehensible things I have read this week. I cannot imagine how anyone who has actually seen a POLST would say that it promotes euthanasia or expedites death. One of the VERY CLEAR options on the POLST form is "I WANT ALL LIFE SUSTAINING MEASURES," and "FULL RESUSCITATION."

These people are doing a huge disservice to the end-of-life care discussion in Wisconsin. And they are not even doing it with an informed point of view. Sorry, that should read, "they are doing it with an intentionally distorted and disingenuous view of the facts."

Also, shame on the Wisconsin Medical Society for not standing up to these hacks.
