Show #574 Original Air Date: February 16, 2017 William Lawton, M.D., UMASS Medical School, Worcester, MA Topic: In Part 2, who really is affected by Doctor Prescribed Suicide, aka Physician Assisted Suicide?

Will inevitable government rationing hasten DPS? And conversely, what about medical breakthroughs that give patients hope? Back to Video index page Back to LifeMattersTV Home page |
