In this episode I talk with my guest Jack Austin about his father Don's decision to utilize the Oregon death with dignity law. We talk about Dr. Don's story, it's impact on their family and Jack himself, and then we finish by discussing some philosophical questions and implications regarding death with dignity laws.

Thank you again to Jack, the entire Austin family, and Don, for being an amazing, courageous person.
