In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. TEDxSLC is organized by members of the Sarah Lawrence community who believe that our students and faculty are amongst the foremost thinkers and visionaries of the day. Sarah Lawrence education empowers young minds to articulate the truly bold, innovative ideas desperately needed in the world today. Speakers were selected from a large pool of students, faculty and staff through a juried process of written and live presentations of their ideas.

In 1994, Oregon passed the controversial "Death with Dignity" Act legalizing physician-assisted dying. The Act was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2006. What has this Act meant in practice?

This panel discussion is led by Judy Schwarz, RN, PhD, Karianne P. Page, MD, Howard Grossman, MD, Maura del Bene, and will be complemented by a screening of the award-winning film, "How to Die in Oregon" in the Donnelley Auditorium at 5:00p.m.
