The Dr. Phil Podcast

The Fight For The Right To Die


Listen Later

Dr. Phil takes on the controversial issue of Medical Aid in Dying, in which a competent adult with a terminal illness receives a prescription for self-administered medication to end their life—currently legal in only 11 parts of the country. He speaks with Meg, a 47-year-old woman living with chronic pain from a permanent spinal cord injury. Because she doesn’t qualify under existing laws, Meg shares her decision to medically end her life at a facility in Switzerland. Dr. Phil also hears from Meg’s best friend, Kelly, who insists on being by Meg’s side during her final moments. Plus, Dr. Phil meets Daren and Amy, parents who watched their vibrant 24-year-old daughter—a gifted ballet dancer—receive a terminal cancer diagnosis and endure unbearable pain. They say she wanted to pursue Medical Aid in Dying, but because it was illegal in their state, they were forced to watch her suffer until the end.
