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.
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.
Final Exit Network spoke with this group several years ago. The leadership is familiar with FEN but they have a lot of new members and would like an update.
This is part of a weekly debate during an undergrad class. This week's event is discussing dying with dignity. Final Exit Network has been asked to speak for death with dignity, and someone else will be a professional resource speaking against death with dignity.
This is a group of senior citizens who would like to know more about options for hastening death in Oregon.
This group would like more information on Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED).
Two FEN volunteer speakers in the New York area have put together an event to answer questions about end of life options and resources.

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.
