We’re not a typical organization. We don’t give you tote bags for joining, and we don’t plague you with phone calls if you don’t renew.
That’s because our major member benefit is unique: we give you peace of mind. By taking away the fear of a lingering, painful death, we let you focus on living. And we provide a comprehensive spectrum of services to accomplish that:
- Assistance in preparing your advance directive so that it reflects your own individual goals and instructions for medical care.
- A special addendum to your advance directive addressing dementia.
- Tips on choosing a healthcare representative to ensure that your advance directive is honored.
- Continued education on your rights and options through our quarterly newsletter as well as invitations to member webinars.
- Invitations to participate in the Chosen Death Forum, a monthly online discussion group for members.
- And for those suffering from serious, irremediable illness that has robbed them of quality of life, we provide information on the options for comfortably hastening your death.
And there is one intangible but meaningful additional benefit to membership:
We believe that the right to determine when you have suffered enough from a devastating illness is a personal decision and your legal right. By joining FEN, you help us advocate for the rights of all competent adults to have that right when they need it.
Your membership contribution will help FEN make death with dignity accessible – not just for yourself, but a recognized civil right for all Americans.
