This is occurring every day, even against patient’s wishes, EVEN in Nashville, TN but is still very much under the radar.

The Simplicity Project supports the Patients Rights Council and
Rita Marker, a practicing attorney who has been their executive director since it began in l987.
Rita was among the first to be profiled in the American Medical Association’s American Medical News during its series on “people making news in an era of dramatic change in medicine.” The International Task Force on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization that concerns itself with the issues of euthanasia, doctor-prescribed suicide, advance directives, assisted suicide proposals, “right-to-die” cases, disability rights, pain control, and related bioethical issues. They oppose the legalization of euthanasia. The executive director of the Task Force is lawyer, Rita Marker, of Deadly Compassion: The Death of Ann Humphry and the Truth About Euthanasia, which puts forth an account of the death of the wife of euthanasia advocate Derek Humphry.[1] In January 2011, The International Task Force changed its name to The Patients Rights Council. Their Frank Reed Memorial Library maintains the most and up-to-date collection in the world of books as well as periodical, newspaper and professional journal articles devoted to euthanasia, doctor-prescribed suicide and end-of-life issues.

Charlotte Lives! Because He Lives I Can Face Tomorrow by Lucy Karen Clay
“Lucy, I have finished reading Charlotte Lives! . It is an extraordinary work of love, written with boldness, transparency, passion and uncompromising honesty. The book is both a deeply private journal and an expose’ of some very ugly conditions and wrong motives in the fringe health care industry. It is liberally sprinkled with beautiful artwork, provocative sidebars and gold nuggets of spiritual wisdom.
As a writer myself, I applaud you for this journalistic achievement and powerful testimony. My wife and I are seventy and may be facing issues with hospice care in the near future. The information you’ve provided will be a constant source of reference to us; as we will also share it with friends and loved ones.”
Eternal Shalom, in Yeshua,
– Bob McGuire
