All Sides with Ann Fisher - 11:00 AM - Assisted Suicide: Legality and Ethics
 
Play
 
Four states in the U.S. now permit physician-assisted suicide, but Ohio isn't one. A handful of other countries have legalized the practice without much debate. But the question simmers in the U.S., and as baby boomers age, some worry they may want that option. This hour we'll look at the pros and cons of physician-assisted suicide and the legislation surrounding the issue.

Guests:

Mildred Solomon, president of The Hastings Center
Diane Coleman, president of Not Dead Yet
Roland Halpern regional campaign & outreach manager for Compassion and Choices
