Voluntarily Stopping Eating & Drinking
1895 Camino del Rio South, San Diego, 92108
Cost: Free
The Hemlock Society of San Diego presents a film and discussion on Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED). The award-winning, 20-minute documentary, Dying Wish, will be shown. This film chronicles the journey of an 80-year-old retired surgeon with end-stage cancer, on hospice, who chooses to stop eating and drinking with the support of his friend and fellow physician. After the film, Dr. Bob Uslander will speak about VSED. And several family members of people who have watched family members participate in the VSED process will also speak. This program is free as is the ample parking.
