Q. What sets Final Exit Network apart
from other right-to-die groups?
A. Final Exit Network is the only
organization in the United States that will help individuals who
are not "terminally ill"-6 months or less to live-to hasten
their deaths. No other organization in the US has the courage
to make this commitment. Other organizations claim to "serve"
non-terminal individuals, but they will not counsel, support and
provide a caring presence at death unless their "clients"
are terminal.
Our slogan is, "Final Exit Network will serve many whom other
organizations may turn away." The Network will serve members
suffering from
.Cancer
neurological diseases such as ALS
(Lou Gehrig's disease), Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's
.motor neuron diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis and Muscular
Dystrophy respiratory illnesses such as Emphysema degenerative afflictions
such as Congestive Heart Failure, stroke, AIDS
and many, many
others. In most of these cases, the Network is the only organization
that will truly serve these individuals.
A. The Network is the only US
organization that supports research into other peaceful means for
self-deliverance. We recently made a grant to a researcher who is
about to conduct final tests on a new method. If the tests are successful,
the Network may be able to share the knowledge that will make this
method available to members.
A. The Network stays on top of
the latest developments regarding currently available methods. For
example, certain readily available party-balloon helium tanks are
not suitable for use at a final event. The Network has broadcast
an announcement that will help members avoid a significant mistake
when choosing among available products.
A. The Network is also committed
to advocate for members whose advance directives are not being honored.
A. Final Exit Network is an all
volunteer organization-except for part-time (44 hours per month)
paid assistance with membership services and communications efforts.
Other organizations spend millions of members' dollars each year-and
have run deficits of nearly $2 million in a single year.* They have
staffs of over 30 people and multiple offices in several cities.
A. Final Exit Network invites
its members to participate in choosing who will represent them on
the board of directors. The Network is the only US right-to-die
membership organization with open elections for board members.
A. The fundamental difference
between the Network and other US right-to-die organizations is that
the Final Exit Network is about helping people-not lobbying or legal
battles.
