Informing a large and very interested audience, our February First Friday presenter, Rita Marker, spoke on the current practice, by some in the medical community, of recommending death as a “medical treatment.” Rita, a practicing attorney and the executive director of the Patients Rights Council, gave example after example of dangerous practices, which are being mainstreamed into medical care.
Questions to consider: Do you have a “living will”? Do you know what a durable power of attorney is? Did you realize that, if you are facing serious illness, you might also be facing a legal system that threatens your life?
Rita Marker is the author of the critically acclaimed book, Deadly Compassion (Wm. Morrow & Co., 1993; Harper/Collins, 1994; Avon Books, 1995). She was an adjunct professor of Political Science & Ethics at the University of Steubenville, Ohio, and she has made presentations and debated in Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, France, Belgium, England, Australia, Canada, Colombia, Switzerland, Slovenia and the United States.
