SUMMARY:August 13 Dying on Our Terms:Medical Aid in Dying Panel
DESCRIPTION:The Durham Main Library and Endswell Funeral Home present Dying on our Terms: Medical Aid in Dying\, Palliative Care\, and the Right to Choose. \n\n\n\nHow do we navigate the choices available at the end of life? This panel discussion will explore the complex and often deeply personal questions surrounding medical aid in dying\, palliative care\, and the broader conversation about individual autonomy at the end of life.Our speakers represent a range of perspectives:Jay Niver of the Final Exit Network advocates for the right to die and self-determination in end-of-life decisions.Ed Tiryakian of Dying Right NC works to advance legislation that would allow medical aid in dying in North Carolina.Dr. David Fisher\, Palliative Care Medical Director at Duke HomeCare and Hospice\, offers insight into the role of palliative care in relieving suffering and supporting quality of life at life’s end.  Joshua Briscoe\, MD Medical Director\, Hospice and Palliative MedicineDurham VA Medical Center \n\n\n\nTogether\, these panelists will discuss the medical\, ethical\, and personal dimensions of this important topic — from the desire for autonomy to the value of palliative care in supporting patients and families. This conversation invites attendees to reflect on what it means to approach death on our own terms\, and how we as a society can hold space for differing beliefs and choices at life’s end. \n\n\n\nPlease note that the panelists’ views are their own and do not represent Duke\, the VA\, or the Federal Government.  \n\n\n\nRegister Here:  https://durhamcountylibrary.libcal.com/event/14099662

SUMMARY:Exploring VSED Voluntary Stopping of Eating and Drinking - September 11
DESCRIPTION:Voluntary Stopping of Eating and Drinking (VSED): A Little Known End of Life Option \nAs modern technology prolongs our lives\, a life well-lived can often end with a long and painful struggle.  Increasingly there are choices available about end-of-life options that afford greater personal control over the time and manner of death.  A “good death” is more likely when medical practitioners and those supporting the dying person are more informed about these options. \nJoin Elliott and Susan Schaffer for a discussion of the medical\, ethical and legal issues involving VSED\, Voluntary Stopping of Eating and Drinking\, a little known end of life option.  They will share with us the end of life story of Susan’s mother\, Beatrice Belopolsky\, a resident of a retirement community in New Jersey. \nElliott Schaffer\, MD\, is a retired geriatrician who was formerly the Medical Director at Martins Run Life Care Community in Media\, Pa.  Susan Schaffer\, JD\, is a retired attorney who was formerly Senior Counsel at AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:I’m really missing Anne\, our scribe\, but here’s a few things of note: \n\n\n\n-First item discussed was the morphine shortage in this country (and actually around the world) and how that will surely affect patients under hospice care. \n\n\n\n-The Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) bill was recently signed off by Governor Hochul in New York. \n\n\n\n-We talked about the difference between PALLIATIVE and HOSPICE care.  With the former\, a patient is still allowed to be undergoing treatment while not seeking a cure.   \n\n\n\n-Books discussed/recommended:  “The VSED Handbook” by Kate Christie; “Remarkably Bright Creatures” by Shelby Van Pelt. \n\n\n\n-Resources:  MOST form (obtain from your doctor); compassionandchoices.org website \n\n\n\n-National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day is Sunday\, December 21st.  There will be a service in Chapel Hill at the old police station.  Details here:  https://www.thechapelofthecross.org/orange-county-homeless-memorial-vigil/ \n\n\n\n-Quote of the day:  “Love is inconvenient.”  (from Victor Sweeney’s book\, “Now Departing”). \n\n\n\nNext Orange County Death Cafe:  Wednesday\, January 21st\, 2026  6:00pm \n\n\n\n\nSara Williams
