Congress 2020

CANCELED DUE TO COVID 19

The World Federation of Right to Die Societies (WFRTDS) granted us the venue in Mexico City to organize the biannual congress of 2020, from October 27 to 31.

During 2019 we have been working hard to carry out the Congress 2020, which will be attended by 60 federation delegates of different countries, and it is expected to have the assistance of more than 300 national and international people.

Theatrical Play

The theatrical play, La Lechuga (The Lettuce) was represented in the ESRU Foundation facilities, in front of more than 80 people including specialists in the field, doctors, lawyers, deputies, senators and supporters of civil organizations; as well as specialized press. In the end there was a wine of honor where there was a debate and talk about the theme of the play on assisted death.

This and other similar works will contribute to promoting national dialogue on the right to a dignified death. This, we hope, will affect the awareness of those who have in their hands the possibility of realizing the desire of a great majority of Mexicans to be able to opt for a dignified death.
