The second international Symposium on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide will begin in about 2 hours. I don’t speak until this evening, so I think I will try to “live blog” here about some of what the very fine lineup of speakers have to say.
“Live blog” might be a misnomer, however. This is a very fine convention facility but cell phone connections are iffy, there is no WiFi, and my air card might not work in the room where the symposium will be held. If that proves true, I’ll take notes and post them when I can get back to my room.
In any event, I’ll try to bring some highlights to you as the symposium progresses. Y’all come back now. Hear?
