Congratulations to Harry Demarest of Corvallis, Oregon, our 2013 unwanted medical treatment storytelling contest winner, who wrote about his father, Harold, pictured in his CPBUPO(MFO8JME-BLF Mr. Demarest powerfully exposes how the medical system disregards the most thorough end-of-life plans with its default mode to provide treatment – no matter the patient’s circumstances and wishes. The stories Mr. Demarest and others shared complement our national campaign to stop this tragedy and raise awareness to ensure that someday we’ll all be allowed to die with peace and dignity.
