Read a new initiative from PRAF Executive Director, Matt Vallière, where you can hear from him on various topics related to assisted suicide. Here is a quote from his article:

"If our side has a principle, it’s equal human dignity. Our efforts are messy, they’re not always perfectly unified, our signs are often homemade, and many of our videos made with a smart phone, but it’s deeply genuine and profoundly human."

When few were paying attention to assisted suicide, Rita formed the Patients Rights Council to advocate on the issue. It is an understatement to proclaim how honored we are to continue Rita’s work. A legend has fallen, but her legacy shines brightly.

In this thorough article from Alexander Rankin, Canada's noncompliance with the law reveals what those against assisted suicide already know. "Euthanasia advocates often tout the strictness of these laws as evidence that the safeguards are working... But private documents reveal a different side of the story."

Diane Coleman, the founder and president of Not Dead Yet, also passed away. Diane’s contributions to the assisted suicide fight and disability justice are inestimable. She was a giant.

PRAF is a leading national, non-partisan single-issue organization that protects the rights of patients, people with disabilities, older adults, and other historically underrepresented groups from deadly harm and discrimination inherent in assisted suicide laws.
