Aid in Dying - Minnesota Public Radio

Join me tomorrow, Tuesday, June 23rd at 9:00, on Minnesota Public Radio.  From the producer's notes:



Earlier this month, the California Senate approved a physician-assisted suicide bill, allowing some terminally ill patients to receive help in ending their lives. The bill had been stalled for years, in part because the California Medical Association - a group representing California physicians - had always opposed physician-assisted suicide. But the CMA has changed its position from opposing the practice to taking a neutral stance - the first state medical group to do so. We'll look at how professional and public opinion is shifting on this issue.
