Should someone serving his life in prison for molesting children (note that it is more than just one) deserve to have hospice care?

If he is in prison,the prison system has a duty of care to give whatever medical treatment is needed/required.I am glad that i am not one of his carers at the Hospice, as i would be dismissed from my job for letting him fall out of bed , giving him a very hot shower, and maybe some wrong medication.

I would bring him a nice hungry black momba-ut, no need for hospice.

depends how you look at it - even without the presumably physical illness needing hospice care shooting or hanging someone can be less of a punishment, (just over and out), than incarceration which would be far from easy for this sort of crime. Of course no doubt many will argue why should we pay for long term incarceration but to play God and terminate his life is less painful for him - one I do not advocate.

What a difficult question. Everybody deserve compassionate care but in this case....Oh, shoot, I would still give him care. It's not my place to judge a patient.........

I dont understand what you think the meaning of Hospice care is.... It is not a vacation or spa resrot.. it is sad, ugly, but compassionate... Death is not pretty... Unless this person is in a coma.. (depending on the disease) he is going to be in pain he is going to need to be fed and cleaned. This is not a service the a hospital or prision can offer.

Someone who molested several children and caused the suicide of two people deserves compassion? He has made innocent people suffer for over 25 years, the ones that couldn't take the trama took their own lives to save themselves the pain. I think he has done enough and deserves to suffer the same way these people have suffered.

I am looking forward to his death.

I am not oppossed to hospice care in general, this man to me just does not deserve any help, from anyone or anything. This man is a piece of shit who deserves as much respect as he has shown others, which was none. I say we show him that same respect, which is none.

OK... I think I understand.. it is not Hospice you have a problem with it the treatment for this monster. In a perfect world he would not be dying of natural causes. I believe that there are some crimes more dispicaple than murder and the perpatrtors should be put to death. The crimes you speak of are those such crimes. I am so sorry to hear the pain in your comments. It is my hope that you find peace. And this creatant finds none.

Provoking conversation...He was not put to death, and I have a strong suspicion he was not in the general prison population (or he would have died a mysterious death "they" could never solve), so, was he in solitary??? Count yourselves lucky- my state releases terminally ill patients. I can only wonder if he has asked forgiveness for his awful terrible crimes from God? I worked hospice and I would have had a tremendously difficult time being compassionate to him. Sure, I would have provided care..but My guess is I would have been silent in doing so.

I would say that he has never asked for forgivness because he does not see himself in the wrong. One of the men who committed suicide was this fucktard's own son, and the fucktard blamed him for bringing his grandchildren to him. This fucktard is NOT sorry. As for prison, I have no idea if he was in general pop. or not. Solitary would have been a good spot for him.
If the prison released him for being terminally ill, I wouldn't give him more than two steps off the prison property.

Pedophelia is a psychological disorder, almost short for mental illness. I understand your anger. But hospice does what is designed to do, take care of terminilly sick people, no matter who they are.

short of mental illness? They are either totally mentally ill OR they are not mentally ill.

There are psychologists who are calling it a mental illness, but it has not been accepted as yet by the Psychological Asso.

I understand - most definitely a gruesome character - but here I go - I will be called a bleeding heart again. Regardless of his heinous crimes - if in need of hospice care he should get this - I come from a place where I would be obliged to care for him and would without prejudice hopefully.

When hospice care is given to one then it should be given to all. Medical care is not determined by the severity of the offense. Humans should not play God.

I'll be his caregiver for a few hours. He will beg to die. Apparently there are quite a few here who don't realize that there are consequences for disgusting behavior.

Personally, I think his going to a hospice is more a thing of it being a place that is geared to most effectively deal with the last stages of life. It would be hard not to despise someone like that, or feel some very real hostility toward them. But, in being a human being yourself, being designated with the responsibility of dealing with an individual like that, how far below acting with any decency at all do you allow yourself to be dragged down. How far down do we allow ourselves to stoop, over one very despicable man? Hm...maybe they should have just given him the death penalty, for he really sounds like an individual with no redeeming qualities at all. Especially when he blames everyone else for what he did himself...that in itself should have been a qualifying factor in determining a death penalty for him.

There is no real hospice care in a prison setting. Nobody gives a damn about him , except the family. Probably the only reason the family is there is to claim whatever property he has, and to arrange for the state to bury him in a state cemetary for convicts. Yes let him have it. Last few days of life like that is very painful , and what he needs is medication by needle. Painful. He deserves no outside freeworld medical assistance.
