Wanda has been on the front lines of the Right to Die Movement in Canada for many years, educating the public, challenging government officials and fighting for patients' rights regarding end-of-life choices.

In this podcast, we explore death, the fear of death, and the question of how humanity should approach life, death, suffering, compassion and dignity.
