Dartmouth — Debate: Physician Aid in Dying — Should it Be Legal? 3 Viewpoints

Dartmouth, Filene Auditorium, Moore Hall Maynard Street, Hanover, NH, United States

Please join us for an evening of lively, thought-provoking debate as we look at three views on physician aid in dying. What are the moral, ethical, and medical ramifications of the question? How do we take care of the dying in a way that supports their and their family's wishes, while observing the many religious and scientific aspects of these decisions? Ultimately, who decides — the patient, the family, the society, or the physician?

We are proud to present three distinguished experts on the matter:

Green  Dr. Ronald Green, Professor of Religion/Dartmouth, Schwartz_Peter260x260BW  Peter Schwartz, Retired Chairman of the Board of the Ayn Rand Institute, and Robert Macauley, M.D.  Dr. Robert Macauley, Professor of Pediatrics, University of Vermont College of Medicine.

Assuming that Obamacare will either be declared unconstitutional (at least a large part of it) by the Supreme court in the last week in June, or that it will simply fail from its own inefficiencies, costs and contradictions, what will come next?  The two clear but opposite paths for healthcare need some more consideration: socialized or free market.

You have a unique opportunity to enjoy, in a sophisticated setting, the wit and wisdom of someone greatly familiar with both paths, from personal historical experience in Soviet Russia as well as logical, but realistic, Austrian free market economic theory.
