* 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.
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.

* The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition is circulating a petition to the Attorney General of Canada concerning the Carter v Attorney General of Canada case in British Columbia. The Carter case intends to legalize euthanasia and assisted in Canada through the court. Download the petition in english or french.

* The New Hampshire Living with Dignity has sponsored a one-day assisted suicide conference on Friday November 4 from 10 am to 3 pm at the Crown Plaza hotel in Nashua NH. Bill O'Brien, the New Hampshire speaker of the House, has been confirmed as a speaker for this conference.
