To whom it may concern: The American Diabetes
Association (ADA), obviously has reviewed the info and documentation at
MurderbyDiabetes.org by Diabetics/Disabled Anonymous (DDA). The ADA, in
its letter dated January 28, 2002, apparently confirms support for Dr.
Corbetts conduct, in relation to terminating, insulin dependent,
Jane Duchenes, insulin and her life, in 1986. The purpose of the
ADA contact with DDA, appears to be one in which it: (1) acts as a legal
proxy for Dr. Corbett, and (2) demonstrates desire to censor the facts,
medical documentation, and horrifying conduct of Dr. Victor Corbett, who
is a member physician of the ADA. Dr. Corbett has and
is not engaging in civil litigation, and there is no known authority for
the American Diabetes Association to act as a legal proxy for Dr. Corbett.
If the ADA represents Dr. Corbett, possibly it has medical information
that demonstrates that, in 1986, insulin could be withdrawn from an insulin
dependent diabetic without killing that diabetic? Such info would be enlightening. The purpose of MurderbyDiabetes.org
is a moral one. Jane Duchenes fate is made public so that other
insulin dependent diabetics can be aware of the potential for harm in
circumstances wherein they are aged, vulnerable, and helpless. This knowledge
can help others take precautions, before similar circumstances occur,
to prevent tragedies like the murder of Jane Duchene, and other similar
cases of abuse of the disabled and seniors, posted at MurderbyDiabetes.org.
Diabetics, from happening. The disabled and seniors have a right to know
of dangers within medical and legal systems that are a potential threat
to them. MurderbyDiabetes.org
is still under construction. More documentation regarding protective actions
that were taken, with respect to Dr. Corbetts misconduct, is in
the process of being posted online. Most of the documentation is a matter
of public record. It will include, e.g.: info regarding County Attorney
Backstrom and Dr. John Plunkett, who conducted the autopsy on an embalmed,
Jane Duchene. These officials avoided civil liability for covering up
a murder by a legal technicality, alleging the issue should have been
raised earlier proceedings. Civil litigation does not preclude criminal
prosecution of Corbett, in that there is no statute of limitations for
murder in the state of Minnesota. Legal retribution for wrongs, is not,
the primary ambition of the DDA site. Diabetics/Disabled
Anonymous has made no effort to pass itself off as the ADA, or to steal
funds from the ADA, contrary to the apparent accusations in the ADA letter
of the 28th instant. Stated ADA concerns appear to be an over-reaction,
and without basis regarding the scenario purported that: the public could
be confused, that MurderbyDiabetes.org is or was a ADA site or affiliated
to the ADA. DDA has not and does not receive donations intended for the
ADA and is supported by members and spiritual fund raisers. As DDA is
small, DDA has never had and doesnt now have, or need, significant
amounts of funding. Most of the members of DDA, have endured abuses which
have left them financially and otherwise devastated. Financial enhancement
may be a necessary component for large organizations, including the ADA,
but this is not so for DDA. In response to your
demand that the ADA logo link be removed from MurderbyDiabetes.org, this
is not a problem, at all. It has been replaced with a text link which
is easier to read, and equally attractive esthetically. The small ADA
logo was used by DDA only to make access to medical information at the
ADA site easy, in the event basic info about insulin dependent diabetes
was unknown. Regrets are offered, gratuitously, for any ADA travail in
respect to this matter overall. Disclaimers were present before 1/28/03. Cordially: Rev. MJ Duchene BFA |
