In the United States, the majority of states have made it illegal for terminally ill patients enduring great suffering to end their own lives on their terms. Most of the opposition is fueled by religion. In this broadcast, we explore Death With Dignity issues, we talk about various organizations assisting those who wish to take some control over their life and death, and we finish the show with special guest Dan Diaz, husband of the late Brittany Maynard, who's story (and partnership with http://www.compassionandchoices.org) gained international attention.Support our sponsors:Get a free trial of The Great Courses Plus via http://www.thegreatcoursesplus.com/sethGet a free 7-day Blinkist trial via http://www.blinkist.com/sethOther resources and links:http://www.deathwithdignity.orghttp://www.finalexitnetwork.orgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/thethinkingatheist--3270347/support.
