The Final Act

What if a terminal illness hijacked the final chapter of your life? If you could, would you take back your own power, exercise your precious personal autonomy and end your life on your own terms? The State of Oregon has been a leader in medical aid in dying since it was legalized in 1997 and the parameters of that legality seem only to be expanding, even with the United State’s current historically conservative federal legal system. In the face of terminal illness and increasing age, will more and more people choose to control the way they die? Join us as we discuss this important and fascinating topic with Dr. Nick Gideonse, a local trailblazer on the topic of Death with Dignity in Oregon
