Compassion & Choices
Compassion & Choices is a nonprofit organization in the United States working to improve patient rights and choice at the end of life, including access to aid in dying. It was formerly known as the Hemlock Society.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Farewell to Hemlock - Killed By It's Name - Assisted Suicide )〕 Its primary function is advocating for and ensuring access to end-of-life options, including assisted suicide.〔"Role of non-governmental organisations in physician assisted suicide" Stephen J Ziegler & Georg Bosshard, British Medical Journal 2007;334(7588):295 (10 February)〕〔the organization has worked for recognition of a difference between the terms "assisted suicide" and "legal physician aid in dying" in the criminal code. For example, Oregon law draws a distinction between "suicide" and "aid in dying" for criminal purposes. ORS 127.880 §3.14 ()()()〕
With over 40,000 supporters and campaigns in nine states, it is the largest organization of its kind in the United States.
==Terminally ill patient services==
Compassion & Choices provides end-of-life consultation for dying patients and their families at no cost. Professional consultants and trained volunteers work by phone or in person to offer assistance in completing advance directives, make referrals to local services including hospice and illness-specific support groups, advice on adequate pain and symptom management, and information on safe, effective and legal methods for aid in dying.
The organization's work is highlighted in the documentary film ''How to Die in Oregon'' which won the 2011 Grand Jury Prize〔http://abcnews.go.com/Health/philly-nurse-exonerated-assisted-death-father/story?id=22495434,〕 at the Sundance Film Festival.
