Death with Dignity?

Jason Negri, attorney and associate director of the Patients’ Rights Council, discusses public policy in an age of increased acceptance of suicide and euthanasia.

Questions Covered:

  • 12:42 - In a situation where it would seem more humane to end a life with dignity, would mercy killing be alright?
  • 17:57 - My nursing program just talked about the “right to die.” How do I respond?
  • 23:30 - Do we know the places and states that practice euthanasia?
  • 31:20 - We’ve seen this steady encroachment of euthanasia in Europe and America, so when are we going to get the equivalent of Roe vs. Wade for euthanasia?
  • 35:56 - I worked for hospice for 23 years, and I hear people want euthanasia because they want to leave their children an inheritance and not just spend their money on healthcare. How do we talk to people about this?
  • 43:06 - I’m a registered nurse, and I’ve been uncomfortable about the dosage I’ve been told to give. What do I do?
  • 51:35 - Will the government make it a patriotic duty to kill yourself?
