Having just attended a seminar on end-of-life issues, I found it interesting to note that the Hemlock Society has changed its name to “End-of-Life Choices.” As this suicide-advocate group is very active in my home state of Florida, I was inspired to surf the Web for sites that promote life until its natural conclusion.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has some interesting information on euthanasia at usccb.org/prolife/issues/euthanas /index.htm.

The Florida Catholic Conference has put together a Web page titled “End-of-Life Decisions” at flacathconf.org/Issuesinfo/ Endoflife/End-of-LifeIndex.htm. It's a good resource for pastors, health care ministers, caregivers and other interested parties.

An eye-opening site put together by the National Right to Life Committee, euthanasia.com contains tons of helpful information.

The International Task Force on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide at internationaltaskforce.org addresses these issues as well as disability rights, pain control and much more.

Citizens United Resisting Euthanasia at cureltd.home.netcom.com is America's oldest network solely devoted to combating euthanasia.

Physicians for Compassionate Care at www.pccef.org affirms an ethic based on the principle that all human life is inherently valuable and that the physician's roles are to heal illness, alleviate suffering and provide comfort for the sick and dying.

Many more links on this issue can be found in my online euthanasia directory category at www. monksofadoration.org/euthanasc.html.
