The Hemlock Society of San Diego is a 36 y/o nonprofit organization providing free education about end of life choices and how to prepare for a peaceful death. We hold free public meetings on Zoom six times a year (on odd-numbered months) with expert guest speakers. These meetings are videorecorded and available for viewing on our website and YouTube channel. The Right to Die Film Series is held on alternate months six times per year (on even-numbered months). We show and discuss a free film at a local library. Additionally, we provide individual counseling relating to the end-of-life in a professional, confidential, and compassionate manner at no cost via email, phone, or in person. HSSD supports options for a humane, self-determined death by contributing to campaigns for law reform, legal defense, and the World Federation of Right to Die Societies. We were presented at Jack Kevorkian's trial and raised funds for his defense. Paid members receive a bimonthly newsletter with information about worldwide right-to-die developments six times a year. HSSD brings like-minded people together for small group workshops and and discussions. Members also have access to free resource information such as international books, pamphlets, and DVDs. HSSD offers speakers on the end of life choices to community organizations at no cost. We have spoken at hospices, churches, retirment homes, civic organizations, and professional organizations. We are the oldest Right-to-Die organization in the U.S. and the only remaining chapter of the Hemlock Society USA. Thanks to technology, our outreach has expanded across the U.S.
