In an article in this week’s California Sunday Magazine, journalist Katie Engelhart profiles Debra Koosed who was diagnosed with dementia at 65. Koosed didn’t qualify for physician’s aid in dying under Oregon’s Death with Dignity law. So, she found another way to end her life. We hear from Engelhart as well as Oregon Rep.

Peg Sandeen, executive director of the Death With Dignity National Center, joins us as well. That organization opposes the change Greenlick is proposing.
