The AHA has offered long-standing support for making death a dignified part of life, including the individual’s choice on when it should end.

AHA Executive Director Roy Speckhardt wrote about this in a recent The Huffington Post article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/roy-speckhardt/assisted-suicide_b_3087201.html
