This week, CPL Board member Dr. Larry Reynolds was one of five panel members discussing euthanasia and assisted suicide on TVO's "The Agenda with Steve Paikin."

Panelists discussed the recenlty published Royal Society of Canada report that favoured the legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia. The panel discussion also touched on definitions of assistied suicide and euthanasia; the moral/ethical difference between suicide and assisted suicide; autonomy vs. interconnectedness of people-in-relationship; dignity therapy and depression in terminally ill people; and even where this public policy decision ought to be made (i.e. through the democratic process, not through court rulings.)

One of the items all panelists agreed on was the need for better and more palliative care.
