IS EUTHANASIA PART OF HOSPICE CARE ?
Matt Abbott returns to the subject in his column today, including an email sent to him by someone who works in a hospice and strongly disagrees with his previous column on hospice care, calling it "irresponsible". The reader's email is refuted by Ron Panzer, founder and executive director of Hospice Patients Alliance who provided a response that says economics dictate patient care in hospice, and that patients are frequently sedated and not given food and water.
