FYI Colin * Today's Dr. OZ show will feature the issue of assisted suicide. This show was designed to be a propaganda piece in favour of assisted suicide but we hope that through the interview process that the show became balanced. Check for your local listings<http://www.doctoroz.com/find-station>. The Dr. OZ show did print two competing essays on their website. The suicide lobby was represented by the President of Compassion & Choices Barbara Coombs-Lee. The side opposing assisted suicide was represented by Ari Ne'eman a member of the National Council on Disability in the United States. Ne'eman's article is titled: Death on Demand Risks and Responsibilities<http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/death-on-demand-risks>.
