MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 3, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Human Life Alliance (HLA) and the Pro-life Healthcare Alliance (PHA) announce the release of a new video magazine "Informed: Life is Worth Living."
"This comprehensive video series on end-of-life decisions is the primer people need to navigate today's healthcare systems," remarked HLA Executive Director Jo Tolck.
From understanding living wills to living with a deadly diagnosis or knowing about physician assisted suicide and disabilities, "Informed: Life is Worth Living" helps people comprehend the complexities of end-of-life topics.
"The vision behind this new series is much like HLA's groundbreaking magazines and advertising supplements," commented Tolck. "People need to understand the broad implications of healthcare decisions in the 'Obamacare' world."
The title, "Informed," echoes one of HLA's most popular printed pieces. Tolck explained, "It's a guide to making critical medical decisions and every family should keep a copy on-hand."
"Informed: Life is Worth Living" is an essential resource to communicate pro-life healthcare information. Viewers will learn about the dangers inherent in today's end-of-life decisions. They'll be equipped with information from individuals who have first-hand experience in navigating these crucial choices. Chapter titles include:

More than just a sound bite, at a runtime of 56:49, this new series offers an introduction to end-of-life decisions with depth. "It provides densely packed information. Viewers will want to watch this series more than once to get the full message," Tolck pointed out. "'Informed: Life is Worth Living' will save lives.
