To which lawmaker or association should we send this petition? "Petition for the legalization of humane end-of-life options (so-called euthanasia)"

Which lawmaker or association should we send it to? "Petition: Request for the Legal Institution of Humanitarian End-of-Life Options (Also Known as Euthanasia)" *Updated regularly *Petition + supplementary materials available here. Selection Criteria: ・People who are not bound by any one ideology or doctrine and who respect the "right of individual self-determination" ・People and organizations interested in end-of-life medical care and nursing ・People involved in the Death with Dignity Bill (a legal guarantee for so-called passive euthanasia) ・People who can resolutely confront the violent responses of opponents (see last page) Strategy: While we aim to legalize euthanasia, we must avoid using the word "euthanasia" as much as possible. It is important to take a stance that advocates for "respecting the individual's wishes at the end of life" and the institutionalization of "the right to self-determination in medical care." Our organization uses the term "Humanitarian End-of-Life Options Act."・The target themes will be expanded to include "a fundamental review of the medical and welfare systems," "the spread of living wills," and "the expansion of palliative care," and the proposal will be positioned as part of the social security and medical systems. ・The proposal will be submitted to a wide range of Diet members (including city and metropolitan assembly members), medical organizations, and welfare organizations, and will be appealed to "open up a forum for discussion." Diet members

Of course, we will also be creating similar reports for other lawmakers in the future (gauging their attitudes toward end-of-life care).
