The Ultimate Human Right: The Right to Die on our own terms by Gary Wederspahn
September 6, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
This will be an exploration of the topic from cultural, ethical and legal perspectives.
Gary Wederspahn has been an active supporter of the Death-with-Dignity movement, since the 1980s, with the Hemlock Society. He is a board member of Final Exit Network, a leading national right-to-die organization that grew out of the Hemlock Society. As a life-long advocate of civil and human rights internationally and in the United States, he strongly believes that the choice to die on one’s own terms is a basic human right that must be respected and defended. He is personally familiar with end-of-life customs in many cultures. His presentation style is highly interactive, encouraging much discussion and questions and answers.
