Should Medical Aid In Dying Be Legalized?

Dr. Phil continues his exploration of the controversial issue of Medical Aid in Dying, in which a competent adult with a terminal illness receives a prescription for self-administered medication to end their life—legal in only 11 parts of the country. He speaks with Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, New York State Senator for the 23rd District, who says she fights to make Medical Aid in Dying legal in her state. He also speaks with Kim Callinan, President and CEO of Compassion and Choices, an organization dedicated to advocating for end-of-life options and helping implement medical aid in dying laws nationwide. The debate intensifies when Dr. Phil introduces Brian Johnston, author of Death As A Salesman: What's Wrong With Assisted Suicide, who argues that Medical Aid in Dying does not help, but rather facilitates the suicide of vulnerable adults.
