Julie Grimstad, the President of HALO, announces the release of this ground-breaking document with these words, “HALO has brought together a team of dedicated volunteers and professionals who have vast experience in dealing with the end-of-life issues to produce this 16-page resource.” She promises that this guide provides “advice for medical decision-making as well as crucial information about the areas in which the culture of death has infiltrated our healthcare system.” She goes on to predict that “most readers who appreciate the worth and dignity of every human life will be shocked to discover the subtle, yet thorough, degree of hastening of death practices that have already taken place.”
