10/25 Class - Physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia
In this class we learned about Judaism's views of assisted suicide and euthanasia. We learned about the difficult choices families have to make some times and talked about ways people can make a difference in their own families through the use of living wills and durable power of attorney. We talked about Judaism's concern with the quality of life. Students shared their own experiences with having to decide to euthanize family pets.
We talked about the movie Million Dollar Baby.
