• to raise the consciousness of the nursing profession to protect all human life from conception until natural death.
• To form an educated core of nurses who can speak for their profession by acting as a community resource for life issues.
• To promote public education and awareness about life issues on both ends of the spectrum, from abortion to euthanasia.

The purpose and objectives of this half-day conference will increase the participant’s knowledge of the history, legal status and current implementation of physician assisted suicide in the U.S., the role of conscience rights for nurses and health care workers and the importance of having a durable power of attorney for health care (DPOA_H).”
