“We don't need Booth and Dr. Kevorkian pushing death on us,” Doug said quietly about his father’s campaign. “Dad’s lost. He’s playing God, trying to usurp God’s authority.”

From Court ordered Killing To Physician Assisted Suicide
by Janice Sanford
Former Governor Booth Gardner filed a Death with Dignity Initiative with the Secretary of State on January 9, 2008.Compassion &Choices (national), Compassion & Choices of Washington (state), and the Death with Dignity National Center are also involved.
According to pro-deather Derek Humphry's site, "100,000 volunteer signatures [are] needed by
June 30 to get the initiative on the November ballot."
June 30 to get the initiative on the November ballot."
Derek Humphry founded the Hemlock Society.
The same pro-deathers that were at work in the Terri Schiavo case are now at work trying to push their pro-death agenda on the people of Washington state.
Ronald Cranford wrote in the summer 1998 issue of Concern for Dying that he foresees “that there may be extreme situations, and in the future increasingly common situations, where physician-assisted suicide may not only be permissible, but encouraged.” In a 1997 op-ed for the Minneapolis–St. Paul Star Tribune, Cranford advocated the starvation of Alzheimer’s patients.
Interestingly enough, WND reported that one of the two Schiavo doctors was a medical ethicist and proponent of euthanasia, Ronald Cranford. WND goes on to report that Cranford is a member of the board of directors for the Choice In Dying Society that promotes doctor assisted suicide. He was also a guest speaker at the Hemlock Society, now called the End Of Life Choices. http://www.gulfcoastnews.com/GCNopdeath_by_government.htm
George Felos, an internationally recognized legal expert in right-to-die cases, George Felos is best known as the attorney for Michael Schiavo. He also successfully argued the landmark Florida case that helped establish an individual's constitutional right to refuse unwanted medical treatment, Guardianship of Browning. Mr. Felos graduated from Boston University School of Law, has practiced in Pinellas County, Florida, since 1978, was a founding member of the National Legal Advisors Committee on Choice in Dying, and served as Board Chair of the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, the largest non-profit hospice in the world. He is also a classical pianist, yoga teacher, hospice volunteer, saltwater fisherman, and guest minister to various churches in his spare time. http://www.dyingwithdignity.ca/worldconference06/homepage.html
"Felos ... was a founding member of the National Legal Advisors Committee on Choice in Dying, and served as Board Chair of The Hospice of the Florida $uncoast. Where did the phrase "choice in dying" come from? Well, there was an organization called the Euthanasia Society of America which changed its name to "Choice in Dying" which no longer exists - it merged into the "Partnership for Caring" which was founded by Ira Byock, MD. Mary Labyak was corporate Secretary and Treasurer of Partnership for Caring (now merged with Last Acts to form "Last Acts Partnership," the largest coalition of hospice industry lobbyists in the world).
[Update for 2005: Last Acts Partnership ceased its activities and all rights and copyrights to material produced by both Partnership for Caring, Last Acts and Last Acts Partnership were legally obtained by the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization which has never renounced the dark agenda of these successor organizations associated with the former Euthanasia Society of America! Since NHPCO represents the national policymaking leaders within the hospice industry, it can be stated with certainty that the hospice industry has clearly been infiltrated by euthanasia advocates and that many hospice leaders are promoting the euthanasia agenda. - Ron Panzer] http://www.hospicepatients.org/a-willingness-to-kill.html
The pro-death movement has put similar measures like Gardner's already directly before the voters once in Washington, in 1991,and in California, Michigan and Maine in the years since.And the movement has tried several times to have pro-death bills passed through state legislatures. To date all attempts have failed.
Like all pro-deathers Gardner hopes to chip away until all 'resistance' to physician-assisted suicide subsides. And like those before him who have attempted to put pro-death laws on the books, he seeks to turn our American culture into a culture of death......
“We don't need Booth and Dr. Kevorkian pushing death on us,” Doug said quietly about his father’s campaign. “Dad’s lost. He’s playing God, trying to usurp God’s authority.”

Reading that statement- I would say Doug~ from his heart~ gave us all an insight into the mind set of those individuals who not only seek to 'play God' with their own lives but also seek the right[through our laws] to 'play God' with the lives of others.
