I wonder how reliable the info is.

EUTHANASIA

"The idea was launched in the U.S.A. in 1969 by a law journal article entitled "Due Process of Euthanasia: the Living Will, a Proposal." (In Britain the Voluntary Euthanasia Society is the main distributor of Wills/Directives). The proposal soon found favour with U.S. government officials as an economy measure. The leaked "Derzon memorandum" advised President Carter to "Change social values regarding cost-inducing activities" and stated "The cost-saving from a nation-wide push toward 'Living Wills' is likely to be enormous. Over one-fifth of Medicare expenditures are for persons in their last year of life." But it was not until 1991 that it was made compulsory for all patients admitted to hospital in the U.S., for whatever reason, to be presented with "Living Will" forms."

So what are we trying to say here..that now we want to push the envelope and include not only those who are in the last years of life in those cost savings measures but also those that might require long term Medicare like the borderline disabled (PVS, Alzheimer's, CP patients, the minimally conscious, etc.)?

" Anybody here know anything about the Derzon memo that was leaked during the Carter administration? "

I hadn't heard of the Derzon Memo until you mentioned it. I wasn't surprised to find out it had to do with *Living Wills*. Those jerks and their double/backwards talk, are just full of little surprises.

It seems I've read where Carter created a government study which used the services of the hateful Dr Ron Cranford. He's the Doctor of Death who voted against Terri. The culture of death has been busy as bees over the past many years, figuring out ways to kill off people by using dirty tricks.

Felos and the MSM went out of their way to portray those who were against killing Terri as Extremist Religious Nuts. Felos took every opportunity to fuel the fire by saying the Schindler's got their support from Pro-Life groups, like that was something horrible.

Felos and the Media failed to mention all the Disability Groups who were Against killing Terri. They even used the same BS words as were used to justify abortion - Rights and Privacy. How many times have we heard this was just a family dispute that people like Delay and other politicans, were trying to stick their noses into. I'm so disgusted with the LYING Media and their distortion of words.

Also, I'm sure everyone noticed how the Media pushed the Living Will agenda almost every time Terri was mentioned. An article I read this morning stated - In Britain the *Voluntary Euthanasia Society* is the main distributor of Living Wills/Directives. I wondered how many innocents would die because they ran out and signed a Living Will, after being told by the media that Living Wills would prevent family disputes. Grrrrrrrrr

This campaign to eliminate people has apparently been going on a lot longer than most of us thought. Margaret Sanger would be proud to see that abortion has evolved into euthanasia, just like she planned. We almost need a new dictionary to figure out what old words now mean. Living and Rights sure don't mean what they used too.
