Project on Death in America

"From 1996 forward, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and George Soros's Project on Death in America (PDIA) implemented end-of-life (EOL) programs that fit into a three-point strategy to change American culture. Bioethicist Daniel Callahan (healthcare rationing proponent), argued that America was a death-denying society, and suggested a three-point plan for cultural change. ..

"Porter Storey was appointed to head up that project at AAHPM. NHPCO's board and steering committees reads like a who's who of the RWJF/Soros movement. In spite of the fact that the Soros/RWJF-funded doctors [see "the death cadre"] drew resounding criticism from their colleagues regarding the Terri Schiavo case, this clique is still loved and sought out by the old-line news media as representative of correct medical thought. The following chronology is a rough outline of the fusion and metamorphosis of right-to-die, palliative care, and hospice under the aegis of bioethics and progressive ideology. " (PDIA Reports
