Disability and Life Advocacy Group Warn Against Veteran’s Administration Booklet

Members of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation are speaking out against the republication of a 1997 booklet produced by the Department of Veteran’s Affairs titled Your Life, Your Choices. The Foundation has taken issue with the language of the booklet for its treatment of legal and medical decision-making issues, which it finds to be private matters between patient, physician and family. “[T]he language used in Your Life, Your Choices is encouraging individuals to make life and death decisions based on a ‘quality of life’ judgment and not the Constitutionally supported position that the value of all citizens is equal and each has a right to live.” Terri's Fight
