This week we are joined by Thad Pope, one of the country’s leading scholars on end-of-life issues. Thad is professor of law and director of the Health Law Institute at Hamline Law. He curates a particularly useful web site, Medical Futility & Non-Beneficial Treatment Cases, at ThaddeusPope.com and authors the Medical Futility Blog. He joins us to discuss VSED (some background here) and Assisted Suicide. His scholarship on the topic includes papers here and here. The British Columbia case he discusses is here. In addition we discuss regulation of dietary supplements and the problem of agency capture and the HHS-ONC Report on HIT Information Blocking and a recent FTC letter to ONC.

The Week in Health Law Podcast from Frank Pasquale and Nicolas Terry is a commuting-length discussion about some of the more thorny issues in Health Law & Policy.
