Thoughts on Medical Assisted Suicide Is Available for Film Showings

by Paula Panzarella, Progressives Against Medical Assisted Suicide

Progressives Against Medical Assisted Suicide (PAMAS) had the premiere showing of its film Thoughts on Medical Assisted Suicide on March 25 at the Hamden Miller Memorial Library. Many more public viewings in Connecticut will be scheduled in the months ahead.

This film raises many difficult questions and societal concerns, such as: how the cost of medical care impacts one’s choice, racial discrimination, fear of disability, denial of coverage by medical insurance companies, and prejudice against the elderly. The value of the audience discussion of these issues cannot be overestimated.

The film was produced by Progressives Against Medical Suicide and Karyl Evans Productions LLC, with partial funding from the Haymarket People’s Fund, the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, and the Patients Rights Action Fund.

If any PAR readers have suggestions for future venues of film showings, or would like to help organize a showing, please contact progressivesagainstmas@hotmail.com. Possible locations include libraries, classes, community centers or organizations.
