The members of this special interest group are from all over the country and meets via Zoom the first Thursday of each month. It is an hour-long meeting, with a 45-minute presentation and 15 minutes for questions and answers. During this discussion, Russell Elleven will be talking about FEN in general.
The Humanists of Greater Portland is a demographic of largely retired folks who no longer have that sense of invincibility that might have characterized them 20 years ago. They have requested a presentation that discusses end of life planning and options, along with an explanation of the resources that Final Exit Network has to offer. This will be an in-person event.
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.
Each third Sunday of the month, CCH members and their guests meet at 10am to discuss a topic of local or national interest to humanists. The meeting takes the form of a potluck brunch at a member’s home. Gary Wederspahn will be presenting FEN and end of life planning resources during this time.
The Mid-Columbia Unitarian Universalist Fellowship requested a presentation and description of Final Exit Network as an organization, specifically addressing the issue of the limitations of Medical Aid in Dying in Washington and Oregon with concerns for dementia, along with information about the exit guide program and stories of people with dementia who have been helped through the process.

As brain function is increasingly damaged by dementia, a person begins to lose interest in or forgets to eat and drink. Eventually, they lose the ability to physically feed themselves and must be fed either artificially or by hand by a caregiver. Without specific instructions to your caregivers not to provide food or fluid, caregivers will continue to keep you fed and hydrated until you die of something else. These dementia directives were written so that you can specify that you do NOT want that.
