Hawaii’s Partnership for Appropriate and Compassionate Care (HPACC) is a coalition of health care, disability rights, advocacy, and educational organizations united in strong opposition to the legalization of physician-assisted suicide and physician-assisted death.
We believe physician-assisted suicide and physician-assisted death represent a final and destructive response to illness or disability. As such, any legalization of these activities is bad public policy and harmful to the well being of the people of Hawaii.
We support constructive and positive alternatives to physician-assisted suicide and physician-assisted death, including:
- More effective pain management;
- Better diagnosis, and treatment of depression and;
- Greater utilization of hospice and palliative care services.
