Man Says VA Should Not Use Booklet with Veterans Written by Proponent of Assisted Suicide - Video

Here is video of Jim Towey on Fox News Sunday discussing a document being used by the Veteran's Administration (called by some a "Death Book") since July by new directive that he says essentially encourages Veterans who are badly ill to "hurry up and die." The document is now being used at "end of life" counseling and was written by Dr. Robert Perlman, a man whom Towey says advocated "assisted suicide" before the Supreme Court.

Of particular concern is a worksheet on page 12 that leads patients to consider "is my life worth living?" It asks the patient questions like, "Am I a financial burden on a my family?" "Can I shake the blues?"

Towey gives Obama the benefit of the doubt and assumes Obama knows nothing about the document, but is urging Obama to pull the plug on it. . . . . (Watch Video)

I was so proud of Chris Wallace when he did not let Tammy Duckworth get away with lying about this document. She claimed that it was in the process of being revised and would not be available until 2010. Chris told her that was “simply not true” and showed her the statement released on July 2 that specifically directs them to the document.

If Dr. Robert Perlman wrote the Death document for Veterans, and is a pro-assisted suicide ADVOCATE, I think it’s quite obvious what his purposes are.
