The aid in dying movement is
growing. Montana, Oregon and Washington already have laws permitting
right-to-die options. In January, a New Mexico district court authorized
physicians to provide lethal prescriptions to mentally competent
terminally ill adults. And last year, Vermont passed a law permitting
patients to choose what advocates call "death with dignity." Public
support of assisted dying has expanded in recent years as baby boomers
deal with the death of their parents, many of whom are living into their
80s and 90s and suffering from diseases linked to longevity, such as
dementia and many types of cancer. Diane and her guests discuss the aid
in dying movement and what is driving its growth.
