In 2013, Barbara Mancini was arrested and prosecuted in Pennsylvania on the charge of aiding the attempted suicide of her dying 93-year-old father after handing him his prescribed morphine. A hospice nurse and police authorities ignored his written advance directives, and he was hospitalized and treated in defiance of his end-of-life wishes. A year later, a judge dismissed the case against her. Her case was featured on TV’s “60 Minutes” and “National Public Radio”. She has traveled the country speaking about her experience, and has become a vocal advocate for honoring wishes, improving care and expanding options at the end of life.

A cruel death.   Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Barbara Mancini, to discuss death and dying, advanced directives and end-of-life care, as well as Barbara’s own tragic tale about the failings of our medical and legal systems.   In 2013, Barbara and her family lost her father, Joseph. An independent, hardworking, World War II veteran, Joseph Yourshaw had made his end-of-life wishes clear to his family and his physicians – he did not want any lifesaving measures and, under no circumstances, did he want to go to the hospital. In her new book, Barbara tells the harrowing story both she, and her father suffered, in the last days of his life and the year after. Barbara details how things did not go according to the well-documented and detailed plans Joseph and his family had set forth for the end of his life and how she found herself being arrested for allegedly aiding him in his supposed suicide attempt.   Ultimately, the charges against Barbara were dismissed but only after a most disturbing course of events for her father, who died a terrible and painful death in the hospital, and for Barbara, as she battled a political coroner and a bogus criminal charge brought by a state prosecutor.  Aaron and Barbara talk about her experiences and what others can, and should, learn from them. Barbara details her story in her new book, Cruel Death, Heartless Aftermath: My family’s End-of-Life Nightmare, and How to Avoid It, and illustrates what readers should keep in mind and ways in which they can protect themselves. Barbara and Aaron talk about this and more throughout their conversation, touching on the notions of living wills, decisional capacity, power of attorney privileges, PULST forms, and others.       To learn more about Barbara and her story, please visit her website here.

CRUEL DEATH, HEARTLESS AFTERMATH: My Family's End-of-Life Nightmare and How To Avoid It Ninety-three-year-old Joseph Yourshaw knew his end was near and had carefully planned so that he would have a peaceful and dignified death. He completed an advance directive, appointed his daughter, Barbara Mancini, as his health care proxy, and enrolled in home hospice care. He made it clear -- he wanted to die at home, not at a hospital. But it was not to be. A simple act of compassion on Barbara’s part led her father to a medically intensive, horribly painful death in the hospital – and left her an accused felon, facing 10 years in prison for allegedly assisting a suicide. Barbara fought back, in a case that consumed a year, cost over $100,000, and drew national media attention. Cruel Death, Heartless Aftermath is a compelling memoir about this injustice. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Barbara Mancini graduated from Penn State University and Widener University with degrees in nursing. She has worked in emergency nursing for over three decades. In 2013, she was arrested and prosecuted in Pennsylvania on the charge of aiding the attempted suicide of her dying 93-year old father after handing him his prescribed morphine five days before his death. A hospice nurse and police ignored his written advanced directives, and he was then hospitalized and treated in defiance of his end-of-life wishes. Barbara’s prosecution lasted a year, during which time it garnered national and global attention, and it was roundly criticized throughout the media. Barbara is now an advocate for end-of-life care and works as a paralegal in the Montgomery County Public Defender’s Office. She lives in Philadelphia.

View the full event here: https://www.cato.org/events/what-are-rights-dying Five U.S. states either permit aid in dying or are poised to do so shortly. Several others are considering legislation and/or court judgments that may find in favor of it in various ways. Yet the ethical questions surrounding aid in dying run deep, as even its advocates must admit: Is the choice to hasten a terminally ill patient’s death ever an ethical one? If so, what legal safeguards may be necessary? How do proponents answer charges that aid in dying will result in elder abuse, the degradation of the value of life, and the risk of a slippery slope toward premeditated killing? As with those of many other political persuasions, libertarians may be divided on this issue. Yet it remains important to us, as to all others. Serious questions about individual autonomy and self-ownership are involved here no matter which side is in the right.

Then we talk with Barbara Mancini, who was arrested and prosecuted for handing her terminally ill 93-yr-old father prescribed medicine that he requested, a charge of "assisted suicide" that was religiously and politically motivated, and ultimately dismissed.
