I think there is a money trail there that needs to be turned upside down.
Something stinks....I wonder, does the hospice org have a lobby group? Is money being thrown around like crazy as the future market for killing not only the already DYING but those deemed unfit to live marches into our nation?
Of the number of people killed in the T4 and the 14f13 projects, the following statistics are usually given: adult mental patients from institutions, 80,000 to 100,000; children in institutions, 5,000; special action against Jews in institutions, 1,000; concentration camp inmates transported to killing centers (14f13), 20,000 (Klee estimated that at the end of 1941, some 93,521 `beds' had been emptied for other uses [70,000 patients gassed, plus over 20,000 dead through medication] - in other words approximately one-third of the places for the mentally ill.) But these figures may well be too low; twice these numbers of people may have perished. The fact is that we do not know and shall probably never know. Elements of deception, imposed chaos, and the destruction of many records make anything like an accurate estimate impossible.The same is true concerning the total number of people murdered at specific killing centers. Hartheim victims of both ordinary `euthanasia' and 14f13 are variously estimated from 20,000 (by Dr. Georg Renno, Lonauer's successor as director), to 400,000 (by Franz Ziereis, the former commandant of Mauthausen, on his deathbed); 30,000 is believed to be the best estimate. While these figures may seem unimpressive when placed next to the millions killed in the Final Solution, they represent the murder of shockingly large numbers of peopleall in places characterized as hospitals."

Have you heard those defending the murder of Terri using the term "mercy?"
Yep, Suncoast is not only the largest hospice in the State, it's probably also the most crooked. They need to be scrutinized thoroughly.
Twelve top Christian and pro-family groups are planning a “Rose Rally for Terri” event where protestors will hold 1,000 long stemmed roses reading “No food or water” to explain what will happen to Terri unless legislators intervene
Monday, Mar. 7, 2005 Posted: 5:32:20PM EST
Twelve pro-family organizations, including the Family Research Council, Coral Ridge Ministries and Focus on the Family, will stage a “rose rally” for Terri Schiavo on Sunday, March 13, 2005 – just five days before her feeding tube is scheduled for removal.
At the 3 p.m. rally, held on the steps of the Florida state “old” capitol in the capitol courtyard, participants will hold 1,000 long-stemmed red roses that will be delivered the next day to Florida lawmakers. Each of the roses will bear a note reading: “No food or water” to explain what will be done to Terri unless legislators intervene on her behalf.
Speakers at the event include Ken Connor, a Florida attorney who defended Terri’s Law for Gov. Jeb Bush; Robert and Mary Schindler, Terri’s parents who have been fighting for over 7 years to defend their daughter’s right to life; and Dr. Gary Cass, executive director of the Center for Reclaiming America.
Dr. Cass, who last month delivered the names of 100,000 people who signed an online petition on behalf of Terri Schiavo to the Florida governor’s office, explained that the fight is not about saving just one life.
"This is both a life and death struggle for Terri Schiavo and a watershed fight for all disabled people," said Dr. Cass. "The prospect of a long, painful death from starvation and dehydration that may commence for Terri Schiavo just 11 days from now sends an ominous signal to people with disabilities nationwide. No just society can allow such cruel and inhumane treatment to take place--especially on such a flimsy and ill-founded legal foundation."
Cosponsors to the Rose Rally for Terri are: The Center for a Just Society, the Center for Reclaiming America, Christian Law Association, Christian Coalition, Coral Ridge Ministries, Eagle Forum of Florida, Family Research Council, Florida Family Policy Council, Florida Right to Life, Focus on the Family, Liberty Counsel, and the National Right to Life Committee.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, supporters of Terri’s fight will gather in front of the hospice where she is living for a “Prayer Vigil and Rally for Life, Truth, Justice”.
Individuals and groups participating in the rally include: Patricia Anderson, Attorney for Terri's parents 2001-2004; Jay Carpenter M.D., President of Professionals for Excellence in Health Care; Dr. Thomas Droleskey, Founder and President of Christ The King College; Patricia Farley Director of Suncoast Coalition for Life; Christopher Ferrara President of the Catholic Lawyers Association.; Jan Halisky Attorney and President of Pinellas County Right to Life; Joseph Magri, Attorney; Monsignor Thaddeus Malanowski, Priest, and advisor for Terri & the Schindler family; Steven Mosher President of the Population Research Institute; Joseph Scheidler, Director of the Pro-Life Action League; Jim Sedlak, Vice President of American Life League; Rev. Raymond Vega Priest, advisor for Terri supporters; Debi Vinnage President of Children of God for Life; Patricia Wermuth of Fertility Care Services of Tampa; Stephen White M.D., President of the Catholic Medical Association.
