THE PUBLIC IS WELCOME!

“The purpose of Michigan Nurses for Life is

  • 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.
  • To uphold and defend human life in all stages and conditions of development.

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).”
