Legal Debate Over Doctor-Assisted Suicide



I am delighted to be a guest on the Diane Rehm show tomorrow.  



Description




  • Montana’s House of Representatives passed a bill that could imprison doctors for assisting in suicide.  Legislation is pending in other states to make it legal.  A panel joins Diane to discuss the legal and political debate over end-of-life issues.




Guests




  • Thaddeus Pope - director of the Health Law Institute and associate law professor at Hamline University School of Law.

  • Dr. Joanne Lynn - geriatrician, hospice physician and director of the Altarum Institute Center on Elder Care and Advanced Illness.

  • Dr. Krayton Kerns - doctor of veterinary medicine and Republican member of the Montana Legislature.

  • Barbara Coombs Lee - president, Compassion & Choices, and chief petitioner of the 1997 Oregon Death with Dignity Act. She was a nurse and physician assistant before becoming a private attorney.
