This Week on Due Process
End of life. A time few of us like to think about. But, for some - those suffering from irreversible illness and a certain, painful end - a peaceful death, by choice, might seem a reasonable choice.
On this edition of "Due Process, " what proponents call a "death with dignity." A suicide with some gentle assistance. Should there be an individual right to die - if pain, disease and a body that's stopped working have made life less than bearable?
The NJ Legislature hasn't yet weighed in on a bill modeled after the Oregon and Washington laws on "right to die," but polls show the public increasingly in favor.
We visit with a man suffering from a degenerative brain disease, who says all he wants is a peaceful finish, before he loses both his body and his mind, as well as a leader of the national volunteer organization, Final Exit Network. And we get a look inside a Swiss clinic where the hopelessly ill from all over the world are able to come for help in dying.
Our studio guests: Assemblyman John Burzichelli, the ACLU's Ed Barocas and Seton Hall Law Prof. Kathleen Boozang.
It's a difficult subject - but a "Due Process" you won't want to miss.
