Alzheimer's Association Hides New Partnership With Lobbying Group for Assisted Suicide
Washington Free Beacon, Jan 28, 2028

Selling assisted suicide to "historically marginalized communities" is a difficult business, because it tends to kill prospective clients and smacks of eugenics. Compassion & Choices, the nation's largest and most active assisted suicide lobbying group, has found a new way to remedy this. It has enlisted the help—and data—of a trusted brand: the Alzheimer's Association.

It's a bizarre fit. While the Alzheimer's Association spends considerable resources to overcome what it describes as "the stigma" of Alzheimer's and dementia, the CEO of Compassion & Choices, Kim Callinan, has described dementia as "a fate worse than death."

Compassion & Choices was known as the Hemlock Society until the group's support for fellow member Jack Kevorkian—and his increasing number of so-called mercy killings—tainted the brand. While the Hemlock Society celebrated Kevorkian's actions, the Alzheimer's Association issued a statement in opposition, noting that "we must … affirm the right to dignity and life for every Alzheimer patient and cannot condone suicide."

George Soros, whose mother was a member of the Hemlock Society, poured millions into the assisted suicide movement through his Open Society Foundations, in part to help the Hemlock Society rebrand itself as Compassion & Choices.

Once at loggerheads, Compassion & Choices and the Alzheimer's Association announced last December that, together, they will focus on a shared effort to improve "end-of-life care" to people with dementia in the "Black, Latino, Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI), and LGBTQ communities," according to a press release from Compassion & Choices. Together, the organizations will create national webinars, host conferences and local events, share data, "and more," according to the press release.

Fire up the crematoria.

... Within a few months the T4 Program—named for the Chancellery offices that directed it from the Berlin address Tiergartenstrasse 4—involved virtually the entire German psychiatric community. A new bureaucracy, headed by physicians, was established with a mandate to kill anyone deemed to have a “life unworthy of living.” Some physicians active in the study of eugenics, who saw Nazism as “applied biology,” enthusiastically endorsed this program. However, the criteria for inclusion in this program were not exclusively genetic, nor were they necessarily based on infirmity. An important criterion was economic. Nazi officials assigned people to this program largely based on their economic productivity. The Nazis referred to the program’s victims as “burdensome lives” and “useless eaters.”  ...
