Joel PotashGUEST
So there are living wills for people with healthcare proxies.
Joel PotashGUEST
A reference, uh, that I would give is Compassion and Choices.
Joel PotashGUEST
Compassion and Choices.
Joel PotashGUEST
At the end of life, they have a dementia values and priorities tool which you can fill out.
Joel PotashGUEST
You can go online and probably find them.
Sarah LipscombHOST
Derek Humphries wrote Final Exit.
Hunter BeattieGUEST
Once the Hemlock Society and Jack Kevorkian was arrested, Hemlock Society disbanded, I'm pretty sure that Compassionate Choices and Final Exit kind of splintered off.
Hunter BeattieGUEST
And Compassionate Choices really pushed for the legalization of medical aid in dying.
Hunter BeattieGUEST
Final exit's approach was that this will never be legal everywhere.
Hunter BeattieGUEST
There are people who have pancreatic cancer.
Jill SchockGUEST
I've seen it happen in California.
Jill SchockGUEST
There's a group called Compassion and Choices, and they are, like, armed with some of the best, like, legal people to help keep these laws in place.
Daniel ToshHOST
Did you ever have a, quote, unquote, "normal job"?
Jill SchockGUEST
Uh, yeah.
Sara BarselGUEST
So if you can't come in person, you're not going to be able to get the information.
Sara BarselGUEST
So Roseville AD, in conjunction with the library, excuse me, and Compassion and Choices is is presenting three programs on advanced care planning.
Sara BarselGUEST
And the name of the series is Being Mortal, Advanced Care Planning, and End-of-Life Choices.
Sara BarselGUEST
And the information in this series will be for people with and without dementia.
10 MINS LATER
Sara BarselGUEST
Again, I hope that people come to this and bring people with you.
Lori La BeyHOST
Yeah, these are really three great sessions with exceptional speakers.
Lori La BeyHOST
One of the things that I will just highlight for Compassion and Choices is they have something really unique as a tool on their website that lets you kind of pick and choose.
Lori La BeyHOST
Like if I'm bed bound and can't communicate and I'm struggling eating, what do I want in that scenario? If I'm still mobile and can't communicate and am still able to kind of fend for myself, what do I want in that scenario? And so I really liked that they broke that down because a lot of times we look at those forms and just think it's black or it's white.
Kelsey SherenGUEST
You know, they're those people.
Kelsey SherenGUEST
Now, they have partnered with Compassion and Choices.
Mike AdamsHOST
Oh.
Kelsey SherenGUEST
Compassion and Choices, my friend, is worth $35 million in assets, and they are lobbying your government behind your back right now to expand into 50% of America.
Kelsey SherenGUEST
And by 2028, they plan to have 50% of America living in states where they can be killed by their doctor.
Kelsey SherenGUEST
And I hate to break it to you, but they're winning.
