A message to our readers from Lanore Dixon

Last year you fought for the life of Andrea Clark, the woman whose life the Texas Health Care system decided was not worth living (more here and here). Now her family is fighting to get a law passed that will protect others:

Hi, My name is Lanore Dixon. I'm the sister of Andrea Clark, the patient at St. Luke's Hospital in Houston Tx who had to fight for her life against the hospital ethics committee death sentence.

I believe your readers were very helpful in allowing Andrea to continue life support until she died in her own time. Now my family and I are committed to changing the Texas law that allowed St. Luke's to play God with our sister's life. We've since learned of many other cases where hospitals played God. We want to change this law. The legislature is now in session and we need as many people as possible to take action in this effort.

If you could make mention of this in your blog and give us a link (www.texaspatientrights.org), it would go a long way to getting this law changed.

As always, thank you for your help.

Lanore Dixon
