Contemplating the end of life itself is an enormous task.  And there's an additional degree of complexity when someone considers making use of an assisted-suicide law, like the ones on the books in Oregon and California. 

End of Life Choices Oregon works as a third party, sharing its expertise on Oregon's Death With Dignity Law with people considering ending their lives.  Sue Porter is the founding executive director of EOLCOR, as it calls itself.  She visits the studio to explain the mission of the organization.
