EuthaNEWSia

On Friday, FEN issued a press release responding to the Phoenix indictments, providing more detail and background. They deny any illegal activity, citing their "carefully crafted guidelines".

"In the Van Voorhis case, which is typical of FEN cases, the two volunteers responded to the request of a member who had asked for their help to end her life. They did so by instructing her on the methods she could use. They were present when she took her own life but did not actively participate. The investigation was triggered when a relative of the member complained to the Phoenix police after she found that the deceased had changed her will in favor of another person."
