This is an encore guest appearance by Dr. Faye Girsh. Faye was one of our early guests back in 2019, when she spoke about preparing for a peaceful death. As a former president of the Hemlock Society, Dr. Girsh is one of the preeminent authorities on the right to die movement. In this podcast, we continue with this right-to-die discussion, and specifically address the question of when we would be ready to have our life end. How would we talk with our closest family and friends about our decisions? We discuss the choices now available in different states, including stopping life-sustaining treatment and having medical assistance in dying. These are tough, thorny subjects and our guest is one of the most informed professionals to tackle these. Be sure to join us for another look at the right to die movement.
