May's Top Living with Dying Articles What an exciting time for the Death with Dignity movement! Last month our blog, Living with Dying celebrated the television premier of How to Die in Oregon, explored the behavior economics of Oregon's law, and featured a video to encourage everyone to speak more candidly about death. Check out these stories and more below and in our Living with Dying archive. Sincerely, How to Die in Oregon A deeply emotional film, it elicits many different feelings and reactions from its viewers. To create a space for people to talk about the film and how they felt, we held a TweetChat about How to Die in Oregon. Physician-Assisted Death and Behavioral Economics Being given the option to determine the time of our own death can transform patients from powerless victims of their illness to willing survivors of it. Dying for a Laugh This video brings together comedians Ardal O'Hanlon, Jenny Eclair, Dave Spikey, Ricky Tomlinson, Shappi Khorsandi and consultant physician-turned-comic Kevin Jones to tackle the biggest taboo of them all in the short film "Dying for a Laugh". You can enjoy the outtakes on their site. |

About Death with Dignity
The greatest human freedom is to live, and die, according to one's own desires and beliefs. From advance directives to physician-assisted dying, death with dignity is a movement to provide options for the dying to control their own end-of-life care.
Death with Dignity National Center is the leader in this movement, successfully establishing, advancing and defending the landmark Oregon and Washington Death with Dignity Acts.
Political Action Fund
The Death with Dignity National Center partners with the Oregon Death with Dignity Political Action Fund to conduct lobbying and political activities in order to achieve the enactment of Death with Dignity laws in other states.
