As our logo testifies, CURE knows that to care is not to kill. We offer families challenged by medical, emotional, and spiritual crises true love that strengthens the family—not love's counterfeit which sacrifices its most vulnerable member. CURE provides practical help to families targeted for euthanasia that is drawn from experience, as our advisors have fought anti-life assaults on their families, their patients, and themselves. We offer a positive alternative to surrendering to death and despair: the nurturing of life and hope.

CURE's ranks includes attorneys, clergy, disability rights advocates, economists, editors, educators, nurses, pharmacists, physicians, psychologists, respiratory therapists, scientists, social workers, writers, and other defenders of life in a comprehensive coalition that shares resources and joins efforts to combat euthanasia. Our Life Support Directive, a product of CURE's collaborative efforts, was created to protect signers against the premature grave of nontreatment.  We activate our network to protect men and women today—not simply humanity tomorrow.

To defend life, you must know your enemy. Our constant study combines in-depth examination of euthanasia's past with ongoing investigation of its current practices and perpetrators. We monitor and analyze such anti-life developments as "brain death" and vital organ transplantation, checkbook euthanasia and managed care, DNR and slow codes. hospices and terminal sedation, infanticide and prenatal euthanasia, "living wills" and durable powers of attorney, etc. CURE's practical research arms us to wage a lifelong fight for life, a right inherent in life's presence—not dependant on its "quality" as decreed by its exterminators.

 An old, yet ageless, Book of wisdom warns: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." By deed as well as word, CURE works to alert our fellow citizens of the dangers that euthanasia poses to their survival. The best teachers teach by the example. Some of CURE's advisors have lived in coma for years. They've taught us invaluable lessons about the will to live—infinitely preferable to the "living will." We refuse to limit wisdom solely to this world of death and believe that the Creator of life has blessed man with reason to defend it. May He grant us the wisdom and courage to defend every life as though it were our own. For our part, we can do no less.
