Box 170 Boardman, Oregon 97818 481-9474 481-7351 What To Do About Bed-Wetting Bed-wetting (the medical term is nocturnal enuresis) is a com mon occurrence among small chil dren that usually is outgrown by the age of 5 or 6. The problem is slightly more common in boys. The exact cause of bed-wetting is not always easy to determine. One cause is genetics or heredity. Stud ies have shown than children of one parent, who was a bed-wetter as a child, have a 44 percent chance of wetting the bed. This percentage jumps to over 75 percent if both parents were bed-wetters. Some authorities believe that there can be psychological reasons for this problem. Physical causes for bed wetting including structural defects in the urinary tract at the time of birth, infection, diabetes, and a deficiency of a substance in the body called antidiuretic hormone. Non-drug approaches to child hood bed-wetting include use of an alarm clock that is set for the middle of the night, signaling a time for the child to go to the bathroom; moisture-initiated alarm systems that awaken the child as the child urinates; and exercises which strengthen urinary bladder tone. Two medicines are sometimes pre scribed for bed-wetting. Imipr- amine, an antidepressant, is taken by mouth just before bedtime. The second medicine, desmopressin acetate , is used as a nose spray. Sometimes desmopressin works where other therapies have failed.

Most terminally ill patients suffer from clinical depression which can be treated along with effec tive pain management using modern techniques. This assisted suicide initiative opens the door to killing the powerless. In the Netherlands, assisted suicide and euthanasia (mercy killing) are tolerated. In 1991 the Dutch government con ducted a study on the practice of euthanasia. It concluded that there were more than 1,000 in voluntary acts of euthanasia, of whom 140 patients were mentally competent. The Dutch pediatric association has developed guidelines for killing severely handicapped newborns. In June the Dutch Supreme court approved extending euthanasia to a patient suffering from a mental il lness. The history of euthanasia is that attempts to limit it are often useless. Proponents of this measure insist that this is voluntary for those who want to use this new legal option. The danger of this "option" is that it will become a societal "obligation". Could this "right- to-die" become the "duty to die"? Please vote NO on Measure 16. Let the gift of medicine promote life--not destroy it.
