Submitted by Suchi Myjak on

When will the next class meeting be?
I had originally scheduled it for May 10, but then realized that that is Mothers' Day. Please reply to let me know whether that class date will work. If not, we will push it out by another week to May 17.

Last time, we read and discussed Act 4, the last act of Robert & Emma. Thank you to Kayla, Max, and all the other students who have participated in dramatizing the play for our class!

In this act, "Final Choices," which takes place 10 years later, we learn that Emma's husband Jason has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and is considering assisted suicide. A distraught Emma comes to her friend Robert, now an oncologist, for help.

The next class meeting will be next Sunday, May 3, on Zoom.

Last time, we began by analyzing a collection of news articles relating to terminal illness, end of life predictions, and euthanasia / PAS. These included documentation of real-life examples of victims of legalized euthanasia / assisted suicide. Plus, doctors aren't even always correct in their predictions about how long a terminally ill person will live. And untreated pain or depression is often behind requests for euthanasia. Please see the Resources section for links to several of these articles.

Last time, we began by briefly considering the article assigned for homework: "After Birth Abortion." This article argues that, logically, there is no difference between the value of an infant before and after birth. So far so good. The disturbing part is that instead of seeing that therefore unborn children should be protected, the authors argue that born infants also should not.
