Colleagues involved in research affecting the terminally ill may be interested in the following initiative. Jane St. Clair, author of Walk Me to Midnight (Waterford, VA: Capstone Fiction, 2007) writes that the Hospice Patients Alliance “has sent over 500 emails to candidates for Senate and US House of Representatives, asking for their views on assisted suicide and how to protect the medical care of the elderly, handicapped, and terminally ill.” Scholars pursuing these issues may review the organization either through www.myspace.com/jane_st_clair or www.janestclair.net.
