I found some "interesting" information today. I've posted it on a thread written by mercyme that has been moved to the "bloggers" room.

If you haven't read it...it shows the linkage to pro-death being craftily set up.

Law changed by Hospice where terri is dying - More information (Unsourced) (FR thread)

There's links I posted to two pdf files....one is about 33 pages; the other I think is about 11 pages (I'm tired, it could be longer). I think it behooves everyone to not only download the pdf files to read/study what the "End of Life" roundtable discussions/implementation into Florida law was, but this will probably now be implemented around the country, seeing as how it's been so "successful" in Terri's "judicial" execution.

1. Interim Report of the Panel -- (01/31/1999) full report(pdf format)

2. From PROJECT GRACE (mercyme said that's not to be confused with another Project Grace concerning anti-abortion) CLINICAL CARDIOLOGY: Guidelines for Resuscitation and Care at End-of-Life ["GRACE" is the acronym...ain't it a "sweet" sound] (in pdf format)

They are located on that thread on my post numbers 72 and 75, with additional information concerning who were panel members (Hospice Board of Directors, CEO Mary Labyak, for instance).

We can't fight unless we know what we're up against, the terms they use (for example, those that they consider "medically futile" can be put to death). It also says in the Project Grace document, pages 7 and 8, the following, for example:

MEDICAL FUTILITY is based on objective findings, not a doctor's "subjective"..."value judgment."
"NEAR IRRELEVANCE OF MANY LWs [Living Wills] is further complicated by the frequent absence of information about an LW at the time of need. Furthermore, appointed surrogates frequently do not know about the principal's true wishes."

I urge all of you to go to that thread; calpernia and some other FReepers have been posting lots more important information.
