The first video (to the right) is of the entire 5 hour conference. Below is the same video linked at specific timestamps for each talk.

About the hosts:

The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition represents the vulnerable and advocates before the courts on issues related to euthanasia and assisted suicide.

Advocates for Better Care provides current and future patients in Michigan with the best educational information available on medical ethics and human life. They believe the best medicine is always centered on compassion for patients and meets all their needs: physical, emotional, and spiritual.

The Scholl Institute of Bioethics delineates principles to assist in making choices about life and death, with particular concern for the protection of the weak and defenseless persons who cannot speak for themselves.
