This audio CD is a four-hour recording of the seminar hosted Peg Nelson, MSN, APRN, BC-PCM, and Christy Torkildson, MSN, RN, PhN, at the 2007 HPNA/AAHPM Annual Assembly in Salt Lake City, Utah. “Will You Help Me Die?” is perhaps the single most difficult request those working in palliative and hospice care may hear.

This recorded session explores ethical and legal frameworks, assisting listeners to better clarify personal values as actual cases are examined from both the adult and pediatric palliative care fields. The CD strives to provide the listener practical ways to assure compassionate responses to the request for hastened death.
