When “Mercy” Becomes Manslaughter

By Kelsi Sheren

The “Death with Dignity” crowd is lying to you, shocker. They want you to think this is about a peaceful goodbye. It’s not. It’s about vultures circling the vulnerable, and a Colorado courtroom is finally exposing the bone-chilling truth.

A family is facing manslaughter charges for the death of a 91-year-old woman. But they didn’t act alone. They had a playbook provided by the Final Exit Network (FEN)—a predatory group of “exit guides” who specialize in teaching people how to die in the shadows.

Let’s call FEN what they are, a domestic threat to our elders. They don’t provide hospice. They don’t provide comfort. They provide a technical manual for suicide. They fly across the country to whisper in the ears of the fearful, telling them that their “civil right” is to quit. They operate on the fringes of the law, hiding behind the excuse that they only provide “education.”

Education? No. They provide the blueprints for a killing.

“Police say Kim attended a Final Exit Network workshop weeks before Milsy's death at The Lodge at Balfour, the same facility where Milsy lived. Texts show Kim brought in gear to make sure they had the right equipment, stating, "We've got the right equipment. I brought it in a (sic) showed it to one of the guides."

This wasn’t a doctor in a lab coat. This was a mechanical, cold-blooded execution. Following the FEN method, this 91-year-old woman was killed using a “suicide hood”—a plastic bag fitted with a tube and connected to a tank of nitrogen. They literally murdered this women with a plastic bag and called it compassion.

The goal of this method isn’t just death; it’s concealment. Nitrogen displaces oxygen, suffocating the victim while leaving almost no trace for a coroner to find. It’s designed to look like a “natural death” so the predators can walk away clean. It is a cowardly way to die and an even more cowardly way to “help” someone.

Here is the jagged pill the “mercy” activists don’t want you to swallow: $650,000.

That was the inheritance waiting on the other side of that nitrogen tank. When you normalize the idea that life is disposable, you create a market for death. If a grandmother is worth more dead than alive to the people in her own home, and an organization like Final Exit Network is there to provide the “how-to,” she is as good as gone.

This wasn’t compassion. It was a transaction. It was the ultimate abandonment of a woman who had seen 91 years of life, only to be ushered into the dark because she became an obstacle to a payout.

As a veteran, I’ve seen what happens when we decide some lives aren’t worth protecting. We are losing our collective soul to convenience and greed. We are trading our grandmothers for bank balances and calling it “progress.”

I’m done being polite about this and have been for a while. If we don’t stand up against groups like the Final Exit Network, Compassion and Choices, Dying with Dignity and the culture that empowers them, we are next and so are your kids.
