There is no 'right' to die. Death is the terminus at which we all arrive, that is our final destination. Whichever route we take through life, mortality must claim us all.
It is the last post, into oblivion or salvation, whichever it is your faith to believe.There is no need to celebrate death nor requirement to attend Death Café.
There is a right that suffering shall be eased.
There is a need, a requirement, to celebrate life at Life Café, for life is too precious to let slip through our fingers without a fight to save it.
So, do you pack a passport to the hereafter or a parachute to break your fall? To ACD or AED? That is the question.

Always rush in and do all that you can. Never give in, never give in, never give in: it ain’t over till it’s over!

An automated external defibrillator or AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm.
AEDs are designed to be simple to use for the layman, and the use of AEDs is taught in many first aid, first responder and basic life support (BLS) level CPR classes

Everything you wanted to know about defibrillators but were afraid to ask
Defibrillator FAQ's
Why should I have a defibrillator?- Around 60,000 people have a cardiac arrest each year outside of hospital* - It can take the emergency services several minutes to arrive - The chance of survival after cardiac arrest falls for every minute that passes without defibrillation*.
Immediate defibrillation can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.
There are a lot of myths surrounding defibrillators and their use. Here is the truth.
Myth: I can make things worse by using a defibrillator to shock someone that doesn’t need shocking.
Fact: It's impossible to shock someone that doesn't require it. Defibrillators only administer a shock when required.
Myth: I have to be trained to use a defibrillator.
Fact: All our defibrillators have clear step-by-step voice prompts explaining exactly how to administer the defibrillator and CPR. However we highly recommend that you do carry out training for increased confidence.
Myth: The defibrillator might stop working and I wouldn't know about it.
Fact: Defibrillators carry out automatic self tests. If there was a problem the defibrillator would issue a warning.
