Death On Demand

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2012/10/18/death-on-demand

Death comes in many ways.  Some beautiful.  Some terrible.  For some, unbearable.  Some states have voted to let doctors help ease the way.  The language itself is a battlefield:  right to die, “death with dignity,” assisted suicide.

A lethal prescription of barbituates – carefully considered, sipped yourself – and you’re gone.  It’s legal in Oregon, Washington.  Failed legalization efforts in California, Maine, Hawaii.  Now, it’s on the ballot in Massachusetts.

This hour, On Point:  A transcontinental conversation about how we do, should, and might die.
