Punishment, Autonomy, and the Right to Die: A Panel on Death Penalty, Medical Aid in Dying, and State Power
| Date: | Thursday, April 9, 2026 |
| Time: | 12:00 - 1:00 PM |
| Description: | Join Awaken, The Creative Journal of Contemporary Bioethics, and the Society for Criminal Justice Reform for a panel discussion inspired by A Day of Juxtaposition: Punished to Death, yet Forced to Endure Life. The piece follows a prison guard caring for his mother as she declines from ALS while he continues working on Alabama's death row, using that contrast to explore the tension between a state that permits executions yet prohibits medical aid in dying. |
