THE COMMUNITY CHURCH OF BOSTON
SUNDAY SPEAKERS FORUM presents...

EILEEN FELDMAN
"Death With Dignity?"

This forum will revolve arond Ballot Question 2, a statewide initiative to
legalize assisted suicide. How would this impact lower income and vulnerable
people in Massachusetts?  Only 2 out of 25 states who have considered this
measure voted it in- Oregon and Washington.  Are things working out as well
as proponents say they are, for the 99% in Oregon and Washington?

Eileen Feldman is a disability rights activist since childhood, having been
born with a so-called "terminal" condition that made her unable to go out
and play.  She enjoyed a career as a pianist and arts therapist until about
15 years ago when other illnesses and legal blindness brought her activism
off the concert stage and into hospitals, hospice, other institutions, and
the more politicized municipal arena. She is on the steering committee of
Second Thoughts, who are people with disabilities opposing the legalization
of assisted suicide.
