SAGE News Clip: Legalizing Assisted SuicideDescription: This video examines the issue of physician-assisted suicide. Judy White, a patient suffering from debilitating diabetes, has chosen to attempt to end her life through physician-assisted suicide. She attends a workshop led by Australian doctor Philip Nitschke, who helped four people commit suicide in 1996 when the practice was legal in Australia. Physician-assisted suicide is legal in Washington and Oregon; however, some protest the practice. Disability rights advocate Paul Longmore states that people should not wish to die because they are a burden to their loved ones. Instead, he suggests the health care system should support patients and their families.Click on the above link to access the Interactive eBook. Once you've signed in,
