The mission of the Healthcare Advocacy and Leadership Organization is to promote, protect, and advocate for the rights of the medically vulnerable through direct patient and family interactions; through community education and awareness programs; and through promotion and development of concrete “life-affirming healthcare"* alternatives for those facing the grave consequences of healthcare rationing and unethical practices, especially those at risk of euthanasia and assisted suicide.

The Truth About Assisted Suicide
The sound bites used to promote legalization of physician-assisted suicide (PAS) appeal to our emotions. For instance, the slogan "death with dignity" was crafted to convince the public that PAS is as "peaceful" as falling asleep and merely a "personal choice." This is very deceptive. Self-destruction is an extreme act of despair, and involving other people makes it more than a "personal choice." The talking points provided in "The Truth About Assisted Suicide" shed light on the pitfalls of PAS.

UPDATE ON ASSISTED SUICIDE LEGISLATION
UPDATE ON ASSISTED SUICIDE LEGISLATION
The Compassion & Choices website states: “For more than 30 years, by using a comprehensive strategy including legislative advocacy, grassroots organizing, media outreach and litigation, Compassion & Choices and our predecessor organizations have led most of the significant advances in the movement to expand end-of-life-options and improve care.” (https://compassionandchoices.org/resource/accomplishments-improving-care-expanding-options-end-life/)
The strategy of the assisted suicide lobby has always been to do whatever needs to be done—no matter how underhanded—to get a state legislature to pass a bill, and then “improve” the law incrementally in future legislative sessions (e.g., Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington).
Be on the lookout for assisted suicide/euthanasia bills—disguised under various titles—that have been proposed or introduced in your state. Actively oppose them.
