As discourse around squatting reaches a tipping point, Stephen Kent returns to the pod to talk with Ravi about whether squatter incidents are growing, or if this is a manufactured phenomenon. The Economist recently published a comprehensive look at why young women are now more likely to identify as liberal and young men are more likely to identify as conservative. Ravi and Stephen debate the findings and speculate over the reasons behind this gender divide. Finally, Ravi and Stephen delve into the controversial topic of euthanasia, or medical aid in death. They react to the increasing number of U.S. laws surrounding the practice and how the domestic debate compares to other countries.

We are always flattered when we are approached by exemplary physicians who wish to share their story.  On today's episode we speak with Dr. Stella Rubina a physician who serves as Director of the Palliative Care Medicine Department at Mount Sinai Hospital of Queens. Dr. Rubina earned her bachelor's degree in psychology from Brooklyn College after which she attended NYITCOM for medical school. After considering a career in Orthopedics, Dr. Rubina entered the SOAP  to find a transitional year at St. Peterburg General Hospital in Florida, and subsequently did a  family medicine residency.   Although not her initial intended path, she ultimately found that she could contribute best to her patients through Hospice and Palliative Care medicine. In today's interview, Dr. Rubina shares her deep philosophy and thoughts on the magnitude of end-of-life care. Dr. Rubina reflects on her journey to medicine starting as a young immigrant  woman from russia. She shares how she stayed centered through her unique pathway of medical training which was full of twists and turns. She provides unique  advice on navigating through a career in medicine when things don't go exactly as planned and tells us how to find fulfilment and success as a physician no matter the circumstance. Enjoy the episode!

It is almost 5 years since the Victorian State government introduced the Assisted dying legislation and a review is close at hand. Jane has experience in Law and a close relative utilising the scheme and spoke openly and honestly about the need to improve the law.

In the Intro to this episode, you'll hear Steven Petrow talking about his sister Julie Petrow's death last June 2023. After years of battling ovarian cancer, Julie, Steven's five-years-younger little sister, chose to die in her New Jersey home by drinking a lethal cocktail. She was surrounded by her family. And it was legal. She used a procedure called MAID or medical aid in dying, which is now legal in 10 states in the U.S. plus the district of Columbia.But before she died, she made Steven, who is a bestselling author and a contributing columnist for The Washington Post, promise to write about how she chose to die, in order to raise awareness around MAID, a practice that many people don't know about, or don't understand, even though it was first legalized in Oregon, almost 30 years ago. So Steven did, publishing an essay about Julie and her decision in The New York Times a few months ago. It got a huge reception with over 600 comments on the NYT's site. In this episode, Steven explains more: What the term medical aid in dying means and what it is exactly (it used to be called physician assisted suicide, but a physician is NOT present)Why he thinks only 9,000 people have availed themselves of the procedure since it first became legalizedWhy it's mostly used by educated whites (for one thing, the cocktail of lethal drugs cost $700 to $900 and is NOT reimbursable)This is simply a fascinating episode and Steven is a lovely guest, eloquent, respectful, and informed. It was such a pleasure to have him back on the show. As always, see below for links to his articles and books, including the NYT article, and a link to the first time he was on the show almost three years ago.   //////////Don't miss Debbie's Behind The Scenes essay on Substack accompanying every episode of the podcast. ////////// Mentioned in this episode or useful:Steven Petrow's websiteI Promised My Sister I Would Write About How She Chose to Die by Steven Petrow (New York Times, Dec. 28, 2024)A cancer patient had decided how to die.

In this thought-provoking episode, Niall talks about the controversial topic of whether dying with dignity should be a personal choice. Currently, under Irish law, both voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide are illegal, with potential legal consequences for those involved.Niall explores the ethical and moral dimensions of this issue, considering the perspectives of various stakeholders, including the Catholic Church and the National Suicide Research Foundation. The conversation reflects on the potential impact of legislative changes and the challenging task of establishing safeguards to protect vulnerable individuals.As Niall opens up the lines to callers, listeners express diverse opinions. Some argue for the right to individual autonomy, emphasizing compassion and the reduction of unnecessary suffering. For instance, a caller shares a personal experience witnessing a loved one's prolonged suffering and argues for the importance of having a choice in such situations.On the other side of the spectrum, callers express concerns about potential coercion, the devaluation of life, and financial motives. A caller discusses the slippery slope argument, fearing that legalizing assisted dying might lead to unintended consequences and create a culture where life is not prioritized.The episode provides a platform for a nuanced discussion on a topic that intersects morality, ethics, and personal beliefs. Niall engages with callers, allowing them to share their perspectives and personal stories, contributing to a rich and multifaceted conversation.In the wrap-up, Niall synthesizes the key points from the callers, leaving listeners with a deepened understanding of the complexities surrounding end-of-life decisions and the ongoing debate on whether dying with dignity should be a choice.

Is dying with dignity a human right? Should we be allowed to choose death over suffering? In Korea, these are tough questions asked by the government, lawyers, doctors, and, more importantly, society.

Terminally ill Minnesotans deserve the right to make end of life decisions. Chad speaks about the topic of dying with dignity and why it is well beyond time for Minnesota to allow folks to make those decision for themselves.

Chad open the show talking about how Minnesota needs to take action to allow terminally ill people to make their own end of life decisions. Later, a great conversation with Major Garrett covers reports of journalists that were with Hamas for the October 7th attacks in Israel, Joe Manchin's future with No Labels and the best podcast out there today.

Judith Bishop breaks down the misconceptions of legalized assisted suicide for the terminally ill. Judith spent her career as a midwife, helping bring countless babies into the world.  Although she retired, she was not done helping families.  Now she helps them in a different way, she volunteers to aid individuals who are terminally ill with ending their life through legalized assisted suicide. We discuss Brittany Maynard, a young woman, who brought the difficult subject matter to the forefront when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer and decided it was the right decision for her and for her family.  The country followed her story as she was forced to move to Oregon in order to do it legally. Judith brings humanity to this very hot button issue, allowing us a behind the scenes look at the doctors and patients behind the headlines.  Some might not agree with what she does, or those who choose to do it, but it's an incredible story worth listening to and learning from. ——————————- VISIT OUR SPONSORS!

This week, Dr. Bottum discusses Dying with Dignity and what we can do to prepare for it. This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm

On previous episode number 28, "Markers of the Heart" touched on the truth about advocating for ourselves. This week's episode number 29 continues with that topic as Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly and Sue Duffield discuss how to support and advocate for those living with dementia and the aging population. As usual, something always sparks Mary Anne's desire to share the truth with honest concern of life lessons she has learned in her advocacy journey. This week is no exception. Discussion includes Mary Anne's new diagnosis of "non-specified dementia" and also the arrest of a gentleman with FTD and that family's horrific journey. It's very obvious that this culture needs better understanding for those living with dementia. Most of all, the realization is vital to find ways to advocate for our loved one's health, as well as our own. The end of this episode shows a little levity that always seems to work its way into the dialogue between Mary Anne and Sue. It's sort of like a therapeutic release so desperately needed when talking about some of the most difficult realities of aging. www.verandaministries.org

Yvonne Caputo has led an amazing life, with many different careers including a teacher, a psychotherapist, and an EAP counselor, to name a few. When she was 72 years old, she published her first book called Flying with Dad, which documented her father's life as a WWII pilot. Through those conversations, their relationship was changed, and he opened up about his wishes for when it was time for him to cross over, and Yvonne was able to experience this time with him. This led to her second book, called Dying with Dad, which she published when she was 75. This episode is about finding strength in love and recognizing that in the end, it's not about what you want. It's about honoring our loved ones' wishes and being comfortable enough with their decisions to follow through with them. Tune in to hear more from this episode!

She covers every topic you could think of including different types of assisted living and home care, assistive robots for seniors (yes, it's a thing), living wills and advance directives, hospice and death doulas, cremation and green burials, and much more."Expect the unexpected" is part of her message. And In my family's case, we were unprepared. We were stunned when our mom died. We had expected our dad to go first.The book is the result of her 25 years of experience in senior healthcare and senior living and her answer to the overwhelming complexity  of options and situations when it comes to aging parents.Star is also speaking to those of us in our 60s and 70s (and younger) who should be looking at planning for what she calls “post-retirement." Mentioned in this episode or useful:Star Bradbury's websiteFacebookYouTubeSuccessfully Navigating Your Parents' Senior Years: Critical Information to Maximize Their Independence and Make Sure They Get the Care They Need by Star Bradbury (BenBella Books, 2023)The Conversation Project Get the inside skinny on every episode of [B]OLDER:Subscribe to Debbie's newsletter for the inside story about every episode.

Sean Illing talks with reporter Katie Engelhart, whose book The Inevitable is an up-close look at physician-assisted dying. This is the practice of receiving state-sanctioned medical aid to end one's life — a practice now legal in 10 U.S. states, Canada, and elsewhere around the world. They discuss the details of the procedure — including why people fight for this right and exercise it — as well as many of the moral and legal questions that it raises.

A Quin health campaigner will deliver a petition looking to progress the Dying With Dignity Bill to the Dáil this lunchtime. John Wall is living with Stage IV prostate cancer and is lending his support to the campaign by End Of Life Ireland to allow someone with a terminal or incurable illness to end their lives in a peaceful manner. Almost 5,000 people have signed the petition which calls for the promised special Oireachtas committee to be convened to discuss the legislation as a matter of urgency. John has been telling Clare FM's Rebecca O'Sullivan why support for today's action is so significant.

A Clare man living with stage four cancer is calling for the promised Special Oireachtas Committee on the Dying with Dignity Bill to be urgently convened. The bill, proposed by People Before Profit TD Gino Kenny, proposes that people who are terminally ill can seek assistance for "a dignified and peaceful end of life." Quin man, John Wall believes legislators need to work together to find a holistic solution for people with a terminal illness, that has strict criteria for access and is legally permissible. John will be among a group of people who will be descending on Leinster House next week to hand over a signed petition calling for the discussion to begin in earnest.

If someone is in unbearable pain, terminally ill or suffering an incurable condition, should they legally be provided assistance to die if they wish to do so? The age-old controversy around assisted suicide or medically assisted dying is complex and multi-faceted. It raises questions about individual self-determination, the distinction between physical and psychological suffering, and the commitment of medical professionals to “do no harm”. Access for cancer patients to medically assisted dying is also cause for debate, particularly in the case where life-saving treatment exists but is unavailable – as is the case in many low-and lower-middle income countries. Should the patient be allowed to die or left to suffer? Samia Hurst, a physician, bioethicist and Director at the University of Geneva, helps explain the different views around the topic.

Dr. Sunita Puri  was raised in a spiritual family who taught her the significance of not only life, but of death. Now as a director of Hospice  and Palliative Medicine Fellowship, she has spent an innumerable amount of hours helping terminally-ill patients and their family members make end-of-life decisions.  Dr. Puri outlines this intersection of her family's spirituality and her medical career in her 2019 memoir  “That Good Night: Life and Medicine in the Eleventh Hour”.  In episode 19 of Beyond the Prescription Dr. Puri and Dr. McBride blend their collective experiences as medical professionals into an insightful and honest discussion about the role of medicine in the quality and quantity of life.  Join Dr. Lucy McBride every Tuesday for a new episode of Beyond the Prescription on Apple podcasts, Spotify or wherever you catch your podcasts.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Connor Leahy on Dying with Dignity, EleutherAI and Conjecture, published by Michaël Trazzi on July 22, 2022 on LessWrong. I talked to Connor Leahy about Yudkowsky's antimemes in Death with Dignity, common misconceptions about EleutherAI and his new AI Alignment company Conjecture. Below are some highlighted quotes from our conversation (available on Youtube, Spotify, Google Podcast, Apple Podcast). For the full context for each of these quotes, you can find an accompanying transcript, organized in 74 sub-sections. Understanding Eliezer Yudkowsky Eliezer Has Been Conveying Antimemes “Antimemes are completely real. There's nothing supernatural about it. Most antimemes are just things that are boring. So things that are extraordinarily boring are antimemes because, by their nature, resist you remembering them. And there's also a lot of antimemes in various kinds of sociological and psychological literature. A lot of psychology literature, especially early psychology literature, which is often very wrong to be clear. Psychoanalysis is just wrong about almost everything. But the writing style, the kind of thing these people I think are trying to do is they have some insight, which is an antimeme. And if you just tell someone an antimeme, it'll just bounce off them. That's the nature of an antimeme. So to convey an antimeme to people, you have to be very circuitous, often through fables, through stories you have, through vibes. This is a common thing. Moral intuitions are often antimemes. Things about various human nature or truth about yourself. Psychologists, don't tell you, "Oh, you're fucked up, bro. Do this." That doesn't work because it's an antimeme. People have protection, they have ego. You have all these mechanisms that will resist you learning certain things. Humans are very good at resisting learning things that make themselves look bad. So things that hurt your own ego are generally antimemes. So I think a lot of what Eliezer does and a lot of his value as a thinker is that he is able, through however the hell his brain works, to notice and comprehend a lot of antimemes that are very hard for other people to understand.” Why the Dying with Dignity Heuristic is Useful “The whole point of the post is that if you do that, and you also fail the test by thinking that blowing TSMC is a good idea, you are not smart enough to do this. Don't do it. If you're smart enough, you figured out that this is not a good idea... Okay, maybe. But most people, or at least many people, are not smart enough to be consequentialists. So if you actually want to save the world, you actually want to save the world... If you want to win, you don't want to just look good or feel good about yourself, you actually want to win, maybe just think about dying with dignity instead. Because even though you, in your mind, you don't model your goal as winning the world, the heuristic that the action is generated by the heuristic will reliably be better at actually saving the world.” “There's another interpretation of this, which I think might be better where you can model people like AI_WAIFU as modeling timelines where we don't win with literally zero value. That there is zero value whatsoever in timelines where we don't win. And Eliezer, or people like me, are saying, 'Actually, we should value them in proportion to how close to winning we got'. Because that is more healthy... It's reward shaping! We should give ourselves partial reward for getting partially the way. He says that in the post, how we should give ourselves dignity points in proportion to how close we get. And this is, in my opinion, a much psychologically healthier way to actually deal with the problem. This is how I reason about the problem. I expect to die. I expect this not to work out. But hell, I'm going to give it a good shot ...

In today's episode "Death with Dignity" we are discussing how we die in this country, the United States. We discuss the need for rights for individuals to decide their own death with humanity and dignity. We talk about arguments for and against, assisted suicide versus euthanasia; and how our pets are awarded better deaths at the end of their lives than we do.

Welcome back! In true reboot fashion, we're going to talk about end of life and dying with dignity in this brand new episode. Does this description seem kind of familiar? Well it should because this is the second episode of what will be multiple episodes I want to release throughout the year regarding end of life. Western culture is really great with shying away from talking about death. Let's change that. As Marty McFly would say, "this is heavy" so please, exercise listener discretion with this series.

Birth and death are the bookends of life, yet we welcome one and dread the other. Why is it that birth is celebrated, but death is taboo? Since the beginning of time, women have labored and birthed at home, attended by a midwife and their female friends and kin. This camaraderie of women, once universal, was a way to provide birth support and also to pass on knowledge about pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting. Death and dying can be taboo topics that families tend to avoid. Then, when a loved one becomes ill, family members are emotionally unprepared on how to have delicate conversations about a person's end-of-life desires. An end-of-life doula approaches these situations with empathy, helping families come together to have open conversations and ensure that nothing is left unsaid. This provides peace for the dying patient and a sense of closure for the grieving family, which aids in their healing process.  The transition from this physical realm to the next realm is a sacred space. End-of-life doulas are a bridge to continue one's soul journey.     In this podcast, Ariela has a conversation with Vanessa Johnston, End-of-Life Doula and Owner of Denver EOL Doula, and Co-Founder/ Second Vice-President, Membership of Colorado End-of-Life Collaborative. Her mission is to empower those who are dying to experience their final milestone with dignity and grace. She seeks to provide individualized and intersectional emotional, spiritual, and informational support for people with a terminal diagnosis and their loved ones. She is a compassionate companion and provides a witness in sacred service to honor the final chapter in others' stories. In this podcast, you will discover: How to get comfortable with and talk about death and dying The importance of being an open container for your loved one's dying process and honor their journey The similarities between birth and death and how to see the dying process as a spiritual journey How to empower yourself in the phases of death, dying  How to take your power back and plan for your death even in the unknown mysteries of death and dying.

Yesterday we spoke with the bill sponsor on a proposal that failed to make it through capitol hill, called end of life prescription amendments would legalize certain patients with terminal illnesses to obtain a prescription for aid - in dying. It failed in the committee last week.   Jean Welch Hill, with the Office of Life, Justice & Peace and Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City (STIGMA) calls in to explain why she opposed this idea and what better alternatives could be.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the church, we care for souls. But what is it that we are doing in that work? It is our conviction that we are helping one another die well--with dignity and hope. That may sound like a strange thing to say, but we are convinced it's biblical. In this life, we are weak and frail. We experience suffering and pain. Yet, Christ is our hope. And he has secured for us a life that is beyond this one. Semper Reformanda: The guys discuss a theology of the cross versus a theology of glory. And, we consider the point of our sanctification.
