Compassion & Choices envisions a society that affirms life and accepts the inevitability of death, embraces expanded options for compassionate dying, and empowers everyone to choose end-of-life care that reflects their values, priorities, and beliefs. For over 30 years we have reduced people’s suffering and given them some control in their final days – even when injury or illness takes their voice. We are experts in what it takes to die well. Compassion & Choices works with individuals and allied organizations throughout America to: - Make aid in dying an open, legitimate option recognized throughout the medical field and permitted in more states. - Increase patient control and reduce unwanted interventions at the end of life. Pass additional laws ensuring full information and access to all end-of-life care options. - Normalize accurate, unbiased language throughout the end-of-life choice discussion (“aid in dying” instead of “assisted suicide”). - Establish aid in dying as a prime motivator in voter decision-making. - Support the expansion of the end-of-life choice movement and exert a leadership role in it.
