This week on the show we’re breaking new ground as we tackle our first documentary: 2011’s How to Die in Oregon. Should a person in perpetual pain be allowed to take their own life? That’s the moral, ideological, and religious debate at the center of this incredible film that dives into the lives of Cody Curtis, Nancy Niedzielski, and others that have been affected by the Death with Dignity Act. Dustin and Mallie share their own experiences of people they knew that committed suicide, Dustin’s humorous “persuasive speech” story, Mallie’s Butch Cassidy-inspired “what if?” plans for his death, and much more.

RIP to Cody Curtis. 1955 - 2009.

Warning: this episode covers the topic of suicide, both physician assisted and not. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or exhibiting suicidal mannerisms, we encourage you to seek help.
