Exposing Vulnerable People to Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide
The global euthanasia movement is agitating to overturn centuries of legal protection for people with chronic, disabling, and terminal illnesses. Euthanasia campaigners insist that Belgium and the Netherlands have perfected their euthanasia laws. This book shows that euthanasia has not been “made safe” for vulnerable people in those countries.
Euthanasia Prevention Coalition USA
A national network of groups and individuals that oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide, supporting positive measures to improve the quality of life of people and their families.
Euthanasia is the deliberate killing of someone by action or omission, with or without that person’s consent, for what are claimed to be compassionate reasons.
Assisted suicide is counseling, abetting, or an act of aiding someone to kill him or herself.
Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network
The Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network upholds human dignity through service to the medically vulnerable.
We express this mission through public advocacy of essential qualities of human dignity—which include the right to food and water, the presumption of the will to live, due process against denial of care, protection from euthanasia as a form of medicine, and access to rehabilitative care—as well as through 24/7 Crisis Lifeline service to at-risk patients and families.

This past November, he penned a book entitled Therefore Choose Life—My Journey from Hopelessness to Hope. The book is a #1 Amazon best seller.
Thank you for the work you’re doing to bring awareness of this problem to the public.
A doctor murdered my husband in November 2020. I know this because I saw her do it and tried to stop her. He had Stage 4 cancer but was expected to live for months.. He was only in the hospital for a minor procedure that he had to have frequently. Afterwards, I did some research and spoke to Right to Life, inc., CEO, who told me that they get more phone calls every week regarding involuntary euthanasia than they do abortion. That stunned me.
I also spoke to the County District Attorney who agreed that the hospital had kidnapped and murdered my husband because they refused to allow me to bring him home and then they killed him. However, the DA told me that the Sheriff would never give him a warrant, so he couldn’t do anything about it.
I also tried to sue the hospital, but its difficult to find an attorney who will do so.
I have had to accept that this happened and no one cares. Most people feel that older people, or sick people are a burden and should just hurry up and die already. They try to tell you that they’ll ” be in a better place.” As if that makes their loss easier for loved ones to handle. They act as if a person who is sick, old or dying should want to hurry the process up. Its disgusting. Apparently, they’ve never had this happen to someone they love, or I assure you, they’d have a different opinion of it. When your loved one is told that they only have a short time left to live, every minute becomes very precious, so much so that to lose even a minute of your time with them is devastating.
Euthanasia is something that should have no place in our world. It is not humane. In fact, it is the opposite of it; stealing precious time from loved ones and their families.
My husband’s murder robbed not only us of time together, it robbed him of seeing our daughter and 2 small granddaughters again, and of them seeing him one last time. They live in California and we hadn’t seen them in a few years. His last wish was to see his “girls” one last time, but the Hospitalist and Hospital stole that from him. It was one of the most evil acts a human being could do and I pray for the Grace to forgive them someday.
