“(…) and let me, let me remind people that physician assisted suicide… ehm… the dóctor writes out the prescription for a justifiable case, for somebody is close to death and suffering, and wánts this request, there have to be two requests for the doctor, ehm, then the pátient fills out the prescription with the pharmacist, and íf the patient so chooses, eh, he or she drinks the lethal doses, that’s eh that’s supplied, and dies very quickly. (…)”
This is part of a discussion about the Right To Die Movement, and Physician Assisted Suicide, on 89.3 KPCC radio, hosted by Pat Morrison. I just ran into it by clicking randomly on radio stations and I recorded it because I liked the sound of the voice. Then I started to listen more carefully. It’s moving to hear the first man explaining the guidelines so respectful and doing his best not to offend someone. Than Pat Morrison switches to a caller of the Euthanasian Prevention Coalition, who apparently is not convinced by the guidelines. I like the way how Pat, as a host, takes a passionate position in this discussion.
At the end I echoed “care for people” because that reflects what’s it all about.
