Euthanasia related NGO

I was searching for an NGO which relates to euthanasia, wondering it could give us any hints on doing presentation. And I found 1 euthanasia related NGO which is in England and Wales.

Here is brief introduction of the NGO "Dignity in dying".

Up to 2006 it was named the Voluntary Euthanasia Society (VES).
It is a campaigning organisation in the field of medical issues that promotes patient choice at the end of life, and operates independently of any political, religious, medical or other organisations.

It campaigns for a change in the law to permit medically assisted dying (also termed "euthanasia") within strict safeguards.

It also promotes the concept and use of advance health care ("living wills") in England and Wales.

The mission of Dignity in dying is

1.Patient choice at the end of life
2.A dignified death for all

Their vision is to secure the right for everyone to be able to die with dignity at the end of their life.

what they mainly do is

• Promotes patient choice at the end of life
• Campaigns for a change in the law to permit medically assisted dying within strict safe guards
• Believes that a change in the law will give terminally ill people more control at he end of life and enable people to keep living longer than they might otherwise have done
• Wants to see greater openness around the process of dying and better support for doctors and nurses

I haven't read everything on the webpage, but I hope this NGO could be one example of our presentation.
