- James Wesley Turpin (born December 18, 1927) is an American physician and former-preacher-turned-Baháʼí. He is the founder and director of Project Concern International (PCI) and an activist against the impact of war and poverty on young people in Asia. Turpin was raised in eastern Kentucky in Ashland. In 1960 he began a lifelong activism for those suffering from lack of medical care and impoverished living conditions notably in Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Appalachia, through Project Concern International and gained respect from those he helped and recognition from service oriented institutions for it. Conflict over medical advice his family was personally given gave rise to a new field of tort law called wrongful life. He currently lives in western North Carolina and continues his activism. (en)
