President had the death book removed from the VA. Obama brings the Death book back.
The notifications went out in a letter intending to inform ALS sufferers about the benefits available to them through the VA. At that time, one of those benefits was end-of-life counseling and access to “Your Life, Your Choices,” the booklet that refers veterans to the Hemlock Society when they feel life is no longer worth living. I wonder how many of these veterans were given the booklet?
By the way, that booklet has been removed from at least a portion of the VA website, according to David Freddoso:

ALS is one of the worst ways to die. So should the vets be told they were going to die?
