Death with dignity

[Lucid Dreamer]

3. Death with Dignity info and orgs

Long before the internet my father and I talked philosophically about end-of-life preparations.

He was born in the '20s and I was born in the '40s. Our discussions were based on shared military experiences. He was in WWII Pacific and I was in RVN. We shared experiences of perceived imminent death. Under certain circumstances we agreed that voluntary termination of life would be appropriate.

At that time, we did not have much published material.

There was a short document to be attached to a will.
Briefly, it starts out:

On a trip to my father's home in California 1985 he gave me a brochure from
The Hemlock Society, now known as Compassion and Choices.
I can't find that right now.

Acording to Wikipedia there is still the associated
Hemlock Society of San Diego

I'm interested if any of you have any sources of Right to Die or Death with Dignity information.
Please share here.
I'll do some more digging from current web-based info sources myself.
Help me out if you can.
