反安楽死国際機動部隊（International Anti-Euthanasia Task Force）

IAETF spokespersons are often seen on conference rosters and news programs. The IAETF also works behind-the-scenes with policy makers and journalists around the world to influence the court of public opinion and the courts of law.

The goal of the IAETF is to influence the assisted suicide and euthanasia debate -- which will affect public policy, medical practice and the lives of everyone -- so that a patient's right to receive care and compassion will not be replaced by a doctor's right to prescribe poison or administer lethal injections.

IAETFの目標は、
To achieve this goal, the IAETF has identified the following major areas of concentration:

Educational Research & Materials Production
Careful up-to-date research and impeccable documentation are hallmarks of the information and material available from and through the IAETF. The IAETF maintains the most extensive and up-to-date library in the world devoted solely to the issues surrounding euthanasia and assisted suicide.

The IAETF prepares and documents information in clear, concise terms so that it can be used by individuals and groups in disseminating information to their constituencies. Further, the IAETF publishes the IAETF Update which is used as a resource by thousands of individuals and groups for the latest, accurate and documented information related to assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Media Relations
The IAETF maintains an excellent relationship with professionals in the print and electronic media. Because of this relationship, the IAETF is often in the position of providing initial leads and information for feature stories and investigative reports.

Moreover, journalists frequently contact the IAETF for comment and analysis (both for attribution and for background) regarding new or ongoing developments in the areas of assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Center for Law and Bioethics
Analysis of the legal and bioethical implications of policies and laws will continue to be a major role of the IAETF.

The IAETF frequently provides assistance to attorneys and those involved in the field of bioethics. To enhance this work, the IAETF has commenced development of a network of attorneys willing to devote time to the legal aspects of euthanasia and assisted suicide. Attorneys will be assisted in preparing for the ever increasing debates regarding these issues at the level of state and local bar associations. Furthermore, the IAETF will offer assistance to lawyers in the skills necessary to deal with the media as it pertains to cases involving vulnerable people and their families.

Community and Professional Networking
Personal contact with individuals and organizational leaders is made to build strong relationships that are necessary to influence policy and coverage related to euthanasia and assisted suicide. As a component of this networking, the IAETF provides assistance and training in the most effective ways to address the topics of euthanasia and assisted suicide for particular audiences.

Individuals and groups who network with the Task Force share a common concern about the threat of euthanasia and assisted suicide, but may hold widely differing views on other public policy issues.

Web Site
Through its web site, the IAETF continuously provides accurate, credible and compelling information to people around the world. The site is used by journalists, policy makers, students, as well as by medical and legal professionals. Furthermore, on-line newspapers link to the IAETF site so that readers can immediately access the IAETF's web site.

Hundreds of magazines, universities and other organizations throughout the world similarly link to the IAETF site.

The IAETF's Internet presence provides those in need of information with immediate worldwide access to accurate, documented material, without the delays and expense that previously had been associated with mailing or faxing information.
