Peaceful Death: Another Option?
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Oregon's Death With Dignity Act, allowing patients to request -- and physicians to prescribe -- life-ending medications. However only eleven jurisdictions currently have such laws, and some people desiring a death with dignity don't meet states' strict criteria. There exists another potential option: for over 25 years Final Exit Network, which grew out of the Hemlock Society founded by Derek Humphry, has been supporting those who wish to hasten their own deaths. Learn more about this important organization, what it does and how it addresses the needs of potential clients who are not necessarily terminally ill. Presented by Jim Van Buskirk, FEN Regional Coordinator, newsletter contributor, and Death Café facilitator.
