Hear It From a Disability Perspective, Featuring Guest Speakers:
Diane Coleman, J.D., Founder, Not Dead Yet
"People with disabilities have an opportunity to lead society from the
isolation and despair of today into a renewed recognition of belonging and
community for all. The idea that people with disabilities are not worthy of
society's acceptance is not new. But for the first time in our history,
people with disabilities are organizing our community to fight back, to
demand the equal protection of the law."
Hugh G. Gallagher, Author, Historian
"I think suicide is a sin. I think that assisting suicide is a sin. But I
also think in some cases there is a greater sin of not being compassionate.
If you see a dog dying a painful death, then you would shoot him."
