A striking example of the prevailing cravenness was Senator Johnny Isakson of Georgia, who has authored end-of-life counseling provisions and told the Washington Post that comparing such counseling to euthanasia was nuts — but then quickly retreated when he realized that he had sided with the reality-based community against his Rush Limbaugh-led party.

Seems germane to this discussion.

My late grandmother and my partner’s dad both volunteered for hospices in their retirements, and my grandmother’s passing would have been far more difficult without the help of hospice.

Or is it that you have a different interpretation of the p. 425 text that you would like to explain for us?
