- Summary:
- A report on terminally-ill patients who can take a legally prescribed overdose of drugs, such as secobarbital, to end their lives when they can no longer deal with their illnesses. The practice of "aid in dying" is also referred to as Physician aid in dying (PAD) or assisted suicide, and is unlike euthanasia, which entails someone other than the patient to administer the medication. The controversial practice is only legal in a handful of states, including Oregon, Washington and Vermont -- California's law will go into effect this June. Includes excerpts from a CBS News interview with Brittany Maynard and online videos of Jennifer Glass. Includes interviews with: Dan Diaz, Brittany Maynard's widower; Dr. Eric Walsh, family practice physician in Oregon; Elizabeth Wallner, PAD patient; Nathaniel Wallner, Elizabeth's son; Dr. William Toffler, family practice physician in Oregon; and Harlan Seymour, Jennifer Glass' widower.
