You believe in our goals:

Oppose legalization of assisted suicide.
Ensure that the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining medical treatment is truly voluntary, based on:
- Informed consent with meaningful alternatives, including long term services and supports to live in the community; and
- Surrogate decisions only when necessary, with clear and convincing evidence of the person’s wishes.
Oppose futility policies involving unilateral health care provider decisions to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining medical treatment.
Advocate for equal protection of the law in homicide cases when the victim is old, ill or disabled.
