Remember What We Can Do

You and I are responsible for our civil liberties.
Our covenant with each other is the source of our rights.
We claim our rights by using them.
The rights less used, are usually those most likely to be lost.
Good men have said that our liberty to choose and our right to claim are God given.

Let's be clear about the promises we have made each other about the following rights:
~ the right to timely and useful information(to be well informed)
~ the right to a clean and safe environment(to lessen disease and war)
~ the right to competent government oversight(to lessen ignorance)

Let's wisely take responsibility for our rights and use them as wisely as we are able.

Hemlock Society

The Hemlock Society is not a garden club.

The Society is interested in death.

They have promoted 'death with dignity.'

They have promoted increased freedom of choice in the matter of one's death. I'm grateful.

They have helped develop the hospice movement.

They have been helpful in end of life decision making.

They have provided guidelines for patient-physician dealings near the end of life.

They have dealt with rights and obligations, they have dealt moral and ethical considerations.

They have worked with dying at home and more.
