Discussion Questions

These questions are just to help get the discussion going. They do not need to be discussed in order and conversation outside of the bounds of these questions is welcome. ​​

More questions will be added as the gathering approaches.

  1. Have you ever discussed Medical Assistance in Dying, Abortion, Capital Punishment or other controversial end of life issues with people who have different perspectives? Have those conversations been respectful or combative? Have they influenced your thoughts on these topics? 

  2. Are your perspectives on these issues informed by topical experts. religion, politics, personal life philosophies, experiences, family, or other factors? How have these influences presented themselves? Do you feel you were a contributor to these perspectives or just a recipient? 

  3. Do you approach any of these issues with no conclusive perspective? How commonly do you encounter someone who says, "I don't know" when asked about their point of view on difficult topics? 

  4. Have you, or people you know changed their minds on these topics?

  5. How can nuanced, thoughtful, and ideologically diverse policy be developed when topics are deeply polarizing?

  6. What do you believe happens when someone dies? How does this inform your ideas about end of life issues?
