Denver, Colorado - PRNewswire - "We appreciate the fact that even though Terri Schiavo's case is tragic, people continue to speak out for that in which they believe," said David Brand, CEO of End-of-Life Choices. "The importance of choice is paramount and we honor their individual choice to express themselves."  

"We have not and will not take a position regarding Terri Schiavo and her feeding tube," Brand added. "We do, however, continue to support the statement made by Governor Bush encouraging all Floridians to complete Advance Directives and Medical Durable Powers of Attorney so their chances of finding themselves in the same situation as the Schiavo and Schindler families are lessened."  

End-of-Life Choices, formerly the Hemlock Society, launched a campaign in Florida in November offering state-specific Advance Directives forms and help in completing them. The forms and assistance in completing them continue to be free to anyone who is interested. Call 1-800-247-7421 to request your Advance Directives form.  

Headquartered in Denver and founded in 1980, End-of-Life Choices is the oldest and largest choice in dying organization in North America. It is a nonprofit organization supported by memberships and donations. Choices actively supports advocacy for the purpose of enacting laws so that all Americans can live with the freedom to choose a dignified death. The organization is committed to grassroots organizing, public relations, legal strategizing and other forms of advocacy. Choices has 34,000 members in 90 chapters throughout the United States.
