A Widow Explains Why Her Husband, Diagnosed With Terminal Cancer, Opposed Assisted Suicide

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

One out of four deaths in America are from cancer, and every year, over half a million of our citizens lose their battle with cancer. Terminal illness has provoked a debate over assisted suicide: whether it should be allowed, and what it means to truly protect human dignity. We speak to Kristen Hanson, who lost her husband, J.J., to brain cancer last year. Plus: College students were so upset over the 2016 election results a considerable portion are at risk for developing PTSD.

We also cover these stories:

--Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s killing was a “heinous crime that cannot be justified.”
--The Trump administration is taking more action to curb the opioid epidemic. President Trump discussed the crisis Wednesday, and signed related legislation.
--The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is launching a new course titled “Trumpaganda: The war on facts, press and democracy.”
