Lansing C. Holden, 83, and his wife, Carol, 78, were found shot to death July 26 in a remote cabin south of Pagosa Springs in Archuleta County . . . The Holdens were members of the Final Exit Network, a nonprofit that promotes 'the right of every adult to a peaceful, dignified death,' according to its website. Members receive consultations and advice about suicide methods." | Via Wesley J.

Mr. Dincin claims that authorities are 'persecuting' [Final Exit Network] members in Georgia and Arizona. That is a gross distortion. The authorities in Georgia and Arizona initiated investigations after complaints by concerned relatives that the apparent suicides of their loved ones were aided and encouraged by FEN members. That's not 'persecution' — it's 'doing your job.'" ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/10/misleading-claims-by-final-exit-network-about-ga-az-euthanasia-cases/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/03/10/ga-assisted-suicide-network-members-indicted/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/03/10/ga-assisted-suicide-network-members-indicted/#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:32:14 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/wordpress/?p=54825 Associated Press: "A grand jury indicted four members of an assisted suicide group Tuesday on charges they helped a 58-year-old man with cancer kill himself, clearing the way for a trial that could not only decide their fate but also help validate -- or repudiate -- their work." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/03/10/ga-assisted-suicide-network-members-indicted/feed/ 0
