With Oregon's controversial Physician-Assisted Suicide law under debate in the U.S. Supreme Court this week, much attention has been focused on how the law works.

But for many of us, talking about our final days and how we'll die remains a subject that is usually avoided -- especially if you are healthy. This week, we take on the subjects of death, dignity and dying, and the law. We also explore a new television documentary that follows one Oregon man from his terminal diagnosis to his death bed.

Host: Christy George

Guest: Colin Fogarty, OPB Radio New reporter who was in Washington, D.C. for U.S. Supreme Court arguments; Tom D'Antoni, local producer, reporter, and writer, also co-director and writer of 'Robert's Story'; and Greg Bond, producer/videographer/editor at OPB, also co-director and head videographer/editor of 'Roberts Story'.
