	Death march - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In World War II history, a death march was a march or excursion in extremely harsh conditions with disregard to life and health of marchers, who were usually prisoners, and often resulted in numerous deaths, hence the name.
		Initially the term was used by victims and then by historians to refer to the forcible movement in the winter of 1944-5 by Nazi Germany of thousands of prisoners, mostly Jews, from Nazi concentration camps near the advancing war front to camps inside Germany, see the "Death marches (Holocaust)" article for details.
		The idea behind the marches was to force prisoners to walk, at gunpoint, without food, water, shelter, or amenities; those who couldn't keep up were often shot.

		The defense of the ban on partial-birth abortion rests on an unprecedented three-point argument that partial-birth abortion is never medically necessary; the procedure itself is unsafe; and according to medical experts, the partially born child experiences pain as its head and limbs are torn from its body during the life-ending procedure.
		The obvious goal of those defending the ban is to bring an end to the horrible torture and death of unborn children through partial-birth abortion by convincing the court that the ban is constitutional.
		At the same time, there will be many women who attended that march who, without jeering crowds, picket signs and frenzied media support, will lie in the dark and hear a still small voice of truth deep inside their heart.

		I was delighted to discover that none of my current projects fall into the 'death march' category; at least not as defined by Yourdon (one of my favorite gurus).

		For the people that have never been in the situation of project manager of a death march project, some of Yourdon's statement may be absurd, but to the ones that had the experiences there is no exaggeration.
