Abstract

Home care providers should be concerned about the mounting pressure to control health care expenditures and the reportedly growing public acceptance of assisted suicide and euthanasia. As the aging and disability communities organize politically for the expansion of flexible, consumer-driven, in-home support services, the euthanasia movement has begun to rally its forces behind accelerating death.
