Derek Humphry, president of the Euthanasia Research & Guidance Organization (ERGO!) and founder and executive director of the National Hemlock Society (1980-1992), worked for 35 years as a newspaper correspondent for a variety of British publications. He began writing books on racial issues, police enforcement, and civil liberties during his 14 years at the London Sunday Times. In 1978, he relocated to Los Angeles, California, to work for the Los Angeles Times. His battle for the right to authorized physician aided dying was initiated after the widespread acceptance of his first wife's death narrative, Jean's Way, which is now regarded a classic account of rational assisted suicide. He and pals founded the Hemlock Society in Los Angeles in 1980, the first of its kind in North America.
Derek Humphry served as president of the Global Federation of Right until Die Societies from 1988 to 1990. He resides in the Eugene, Oregon area.
