Exploring the Complexities and Ethics of Medically Assisted Death
In this episode of Impolite Society, Rachel and Laura delve into the controversial topic of medically assisted death, also known as assisted suicide or euthanasia. Zoraya ter Beek, a 28-year-old in the Netherlands who has chosen medically assisted death due to her mental health struggles, is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the murky ethics of assisted suicide.
We'll explore the history, legality, and ethical debates surrounding medically assisted death across the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands. Listeners will gain insights into the different methods, legal requirements, and the socioeconomic disparities impacting access to euthanasia- all while trying keeping this dark topic light hearted. With our characteristic bluntness, we'll discuss who gets to die with 'dignity,' the socioeconomic disparities at play, and how language shapes our perceptions of this final frontier. Buckle in for a messy and unapologetic ride through the moral quagmire of choosing your own end.

The world is obsessed with penises. From the penis shaped sports cars to the cod pieces of yore, phalluses have been top of mind since the dawn of time. Even in today’s cultures, the size of a man's dick plays a central role in defining their alpha status.
But is bigger REALLY better? Today we’re looking at dicks- the average and not-so average sizes, how human penises got their shape and size, and if it even matters. That’s what you’re in for today on Impolite Society.
