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 thirty 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.
