According to today's guest Scott Schara, his daughter Grace, a 19-year-old girl with Down syndrome, was killed by the actions of unethical medical personnel. Scott had to watch Grace die on FaceTime because he was prevented from being with her in the hospital, and no doctor or nurse would help save her life because of an illegal Do-Not-Resuscitate order placed on Grace without family consent. 

Scott Schara is working tirelessly to bring his daughter’s story to all corners of the world to help prevent anyone else from going through the pain of losing a loved one at the hands of medical personnel.  Scott believes hospital protocols do not have the best interest of the patient in mind; but rather have the financial interest of the institution in mind, and a genocidal interest that is occurring against those with special needs who are dying at an 11X greater rate in hospitals since Covid began.
