About this listen

 Jill and Catherine explore the ethical and moral dilemmas surrounding end-of-life decisions and the right to die. Dr. Jack Kevorkian, also known as Dr. Death, was a controversial figure in the right-to-die movement. He assisted terminally ill patients in ending their lives, sparking a national debate on euthanasia. Kevorkian believed in personal autonomy and the right of patients to choose when and how they die, leading to more awareness of these issues.
