The concept of death can bring about feelings of fear or concern but what if you must deal with the final stages of your life due to illness or advanced age?
Diane Rehm, the retired NPR host of The Diane Rehm show, wrote When My Time Comes: Conversations About Whether Those Who Are Dying Should Have the Right to When Life Should End as a way to investigate all the angles, both for and against, of choosing to die from the political, spiritual, and psychological.
The project came about after the death of the husband of 54 years, John Rehm, who died after nine days of purposeful dehydration after the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.
Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day's most important and pressing issues.
Audio from today’s show will be available after 5 p.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, and other apps.
