Events for May 20, 2024

We invite you to join us for a thought-provoking program on a broad range of end-of-life issues. This is a multidisciplinary, multisectoral, and multinational conference, with presenting disciplines including, but not limited to, law, medicine, nursing, philosophy and bioethics, and sectoral representation spanning practitioners, academics, NGOs, and regulators and policymakers. We will engage with empirical evidence about, and legal and ethical analysis of, many of the most pressing and vexing issues of our time. Leading experts from around the world will present their findings. Participants will engage with others who are wrestling with the challenges of end-of-life care. Please join us for a 3-day deep dive into stopping/ not starting potentially life-sustaining treatment, palliative sedation, medical assistance in dying, and the next generation end of life issues. FEN's Client Services Director, Lowrey Brown, will be giving a presentation during this conference. Who should attend? ICEL4 is designed for physicians, nurses, other clinicians, attorneys, historians, philosophers, professors of literature and the humanities, members of the clergy, social workers, and others engaged in endeavors related to end-of-life law, policy, ethics, and practice.

The Chosen Death Forum is for members of Final Exit Network only. This is an open forum to discuss with other Final Exit Network members ideas, feelings, and concerns regarding legal end-of-life choices. This forum is also for those whose loved ones are contemplating end-of-life options. Based on the Death Café model, the forum includes no formal presentation or program, and there is no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product, or course of action.

Topic: We would like an overview of your efforts and status of Death With Dignity efforts.
