Barbara Mancini -- Arrested and Wrongly Accused of Aiding Her Father's Attempted Suicide

In 2013, Barbara Mancini was arrested and prosecuted in Pennsylvania on the charge of aiding the attempted suicide of her dying 93-year-old father after handing him his prescribed morphine. A hospice nurse and police authorities ignored his written advance directives, and he was hospitalized and treated in defiance of his end-of-life wishes. A year later, a judge dismissed the case against her. Her case was featured on TV's "60 Minutes" and "National Public Radio". She has traveled the country speaking about her experience, and has become a vocal advocate for honoring wishes, improving care and expanding options at the end of life.
