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.
