Improving Laws
Dying shouldn't have to include fear, uncertainty that wishes will be respected, or unnecessary pain or suffering. Our efforts to improve laws are committed to ensuring a peaceful death, consistent with the patient's wishes and beliefs. We work for reform at local, state, and federal levels to empower patients with control over their end of life care, including:
• aggressive pain and symptom management,
• removal or cessation of life sustaining interventions, and
• means to choose the time and manner of death if the dying process becomes intolerable.
Read on to find out what we are doing today in the courts, in legislatures and in Congress to improve laws and to fight for choices at the end of life. You can help!
