Announcement for this past event:
On Wednesday, January 3, at 3pm in the Berger Center, Jim Van Buskirk, an advocate from Final Exit Network, will speak to Oakmont and the greater community about the right to die. In August of 2004, ten activists motivated by their compassion and personal experience met to provide a way for people, suffering from intolerable circumstances, to have a dignified death. The seed for Final Exit Network was planted. It has grown into the respected advocacy and educational organization that it is today.
Many are aware of the California End of Life Option Act that allows mentally competent people with a life-threatening illness and only six months to live to request a prescription from a doctor that would end their life. This is called Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD). There are many, though, who have intolerable suffering but do not meet these or other criteria for MAiD. Meet Final Exit Network, the only national organization that supports the right of any competent adult with intractable illness or pain to die on their own terms.
