The Death Book for Veterans

Ex-soldiers don’t need to be told they’re a burden to society.

Last year, bureaucrats at the VA’s National Center for Ethics in Health Care advocated a 52-page end-of-life planning document, “Your Life, Your Choices.” It was first published in 1997 and later promoted as the VA’s preferred living will throughout its vast network of hospitals and nursing homes. After the Bush White House took a look at how this document was treating complex health and moral issues, the VA suspended its use. Unfortunately, under President Obama, the VA has now resuscitated “Your Life, Your Choices.”

“Your Life, Your Choices” presents end-of-life choices in a way aimed at steering users toward predetermined conclusions, much like a political “push poll.” For example, a worksheet on page 21 lists various scenarios and asks users to then decide whether their own life would be “not worth living.”

Bowling for Death Panels: Euthanasia Group Behind “End-of-Life” Counseling

By Peter J. Smith

WASHINGTON, D.C., August 20, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Although President Obama and liberal Congressional Democrats have denounced claims that the health care reform establishes “death panels,” it does not help reassure the American public that the nation’s foremost pro-euthanasia group is actively pushing “end-of-life counseling” as a centerpiece of health-care reforms.

Compassion & Choices, a rebranding of the former Hemlock Society, aggressively lobbies to legalize euthanasia as a “human right” by means of legislation and the judicial system. But the group has revealed that it is a major player behind incorporating a measure (sec. 1233) of the “American Affordable Choices Act of 2009″ (HR 3200) that would pay doctors and medical professionals to offer “end-of-life” consultations every five years with elderly patients or those suffering from chronic or terminal illnesses.

“As Congress debates health insurance reform, Compassion & Choices is leading the charge to make end-of-life choice a centerpiece of any program that emerges,” the euthanasia society declares on its website. “We are working hard to reach our goal to make end-of-life choice a centerpiece of national health insurance reform.”
