#AdvanceDirective
In a medical emergency, or any other circumstance which leaves you unable to communicate, your Advance Directive (Living Will) will help those responsible for your care to decide on your treatment.
Advance Directives are a way for you to give consent for certain situations where you might want or not want treatment. They allow you to appoint someone to make decisions for you if you can't do so yourself.
#Ampad
Allied Medical Professionals for Assisted Dying (AMPAD) is a group of healthcare professionals who do not believe that dying patients should have to suffer against their wishes or travel abroad to die.
Having medical professionals publicly support assisted dying, with stringent safeguards in place to protect the vulnerable, is enormously helpful to our cause.Your bold support can make a difference.
Deborah Ziegler,
Brittany Maynard's Mum:
"Brittany walked to the edge of life and dove, face first, arms arched forward, fingers pressed together, piercing the surface of the whatever-comes-next with precision.
Brittany taught us the power of personal story. She taught us that speaking up, even when our voices shake, is important. The stories of the terminally-ill are important."
Your Stories Matter
