The US activist group Final Exit Network (FEN) has erected billboards all over the US to support the right to “Die With Dignity” – what they have labeled the “ultimate right of the 21st century.”

“The people that we provide support and information to want to live as much as the next person. They just cannot tolerate their irreversible disease,” said Frank Kavanaugh of FEN. “They know that life is not going to get any better for them. And they would like to be able to hasten the end of their life.” The FEN maintains that it only provides information, and does not help people kill themselves. “We don't physically provide someone with the means. We don't do it for them. They must be able to hasten the end of their lives all by themselves,” said Kavanaugh.

Dr. Michael Grodin of Boston University says there are too many unknowns. “This is the problem they have. What did they do? We don't know what they did because weare not observing. We don't know if they helped themselves or actually killed them. So this is a concern,” he said. ~ The Boston Channel, Mar 22
