=== Euthanasia===

The organization is against all forms of [[Euthanasia]]. To support their position, the organization sites studies which show that most of the recipients of assisted suicides suffer from mental health problems, which does not allow for them to make a rational decision to commit suicide.<ref>http://www.nrlc.org/euthanasia/asisuid1.html</ref> They also state that problems should be dealt with by counseling, not assisted suicide. The organization says that if poor quality of life justifies the ending of life then, "we have taken a step down a slippery slope that places all of us in danger."<ref>http://www.nrlc.org/euthanasia/index.html</ref>
