The International Task Force on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide is a splendid organization dedicated to educating the public about the dangers of euthanasia and assisted suicide. I am honored to be affiliated with the Task Force as an attorney and consultant. Indeed, it was Rita Marker’s book Deadly Compassion that convinced to enter the work in which I am now engaged. (Rita is the head of the Task Force.)
I mention this because periodically, the Task Force publishes the “Update,” a newsletter filled with the latest news on assisted suicide, euthanasia, futile care theory, food and fluids cases, and the like. The Update is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in these important issues. Here is the link to the just released current issue. And here is the link to the Task Force’s WEB site. It’s well worth the mouse click.
