My Nonprofit Reviews

I came to Compassion & Choices (C&C) after losing my father, mother, & sister to cancer. I was never closer to my father than in his last days, but I wished that all three of them could have had more than simply withdrawal of treatments. Since then, I have studied death with dignity procedures in other countries (I have a PhD in Human Development) & through this came to C&C. I have found their materials most helpful in developing a formal presentation & informal talks with friends on this issue, in developing published writings on it, & in writing my own last wishes regarding terminal illnesses & my quality of life. My wife also reads the C&C magazine, & having come from the Netherlands, is fully in agreement with the concept & purpose espoused in it. She too has used in in formulating her last wishes. We both plan on leaving sizable donations to C&C in our wills.
