Dr. Allan Saxe speaks about the controversial and sensitive issue of choosing assisted suicide, aka death with dignity, euthanasia and the right to die.

Dr. Saxe is an Associate Professor of Political Science at University of Texas at Arlington and a 2014 recipient of the University of Texas System Board of Regents Teaching Award. He holds a Ph.D. in political science at the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Saxe would like to have these words inscribed on his tombstone: “He did not ask to come to this planet.”
