Familial # ALS has impacted Brandy's family. Her mother, Nannette, wanted access to ALL end-of-life options, including assisted dying.

It's not hard to predict the relationship between the religious affiliation of specific hospice facilities and their compliance with MAID laws.

[Peg Sandeen @PegSandeen]

@ThaddeusPope Such a great ethical review in this piece. The context is MAID, but so many other topics are relatable.

A little "light" weekend reading: when professional ethics collide with agency policy (and the law is silent or ambiguous)--what's a nurse to do?

[Peg Sandeen @PegSandeen]

So many advocates in Oregon worked hard to make this happen. State borders should not determine healthcare access.

BREAKING: HB2279 has passed the Oregon Senate and will now be delivered to Governor Tina Kotek for her signature. When signed, the bill will officially remove the residency requirement for Oregon’s #DeathwithDignity law!

I am grateful to @SenatorHoylman and @RepJimODay for their support of Death with Dignity. In New York and Massachusetts, we have a chance to ensure every terminally ill patient who wants to utilize medical aid in dying can do so. Let’s get it done! https://t.co/TIhb0jJq7j

In her honor I will continue to educate and support those experiencing grief and trauma, to have honest conversations about the inevitability of death, and to fight for every person’s right to have peace as they leave this Earth.

Proud to testify in support of the Maryland End-of-Life Option Act. Everyone deserves the right to the care they want at the end of their lives —and I'm grateful for the MD advocates across the state working to get it done.

[Death with Dignity @DeathwDignity]

BREAKING: Yesterday our CEO, @PegSandeen, and dozens of activists waited until 7pm to testify at a Senate hearing in Maryland to support #DeathwithDignity. If you are in MD, please write your legislators for support before our next hearing on Friday: https://t.co/dLUSTsvJaf

Zach loved his grandfather, Zaide, and supported him through the process of using California's End of Life Option Act. I hope we all have someone like Zach at our side when we are dying.

[Peg Sandeen @PegSandeen]

I'm also grateful to @SallyGold @annagronewold @EleFrancica at @politicony for highlighting @DeathwDignity 's storytelling efforts in NY! We are committed to getting the New York Medical Aid in Dying Act passed through the state legislature! https://t.co/SPhOeclMKl

Storytelling is at the center of this movement and we succeed thanks to brave storytellers like Zach who understand the stakes and why we need to talk about #DeathwithDignity to pass laws in states like New York.
