This 1997 conference, titled Socially-Assisted Dying: Media, Money & Meaning, brought together rehabilitation and medical specialists, representatives of the disability community, lawyers, ethicists, and others to discuss Vacco v. Quill and Washington v. Glucksberg, the two physician-assisted suicide cases that, at the time, were pending before the United States Supreme Court. The conference provided a forum for discussing the social, medical, and legal implications of socially-assisted dying, with particular emphasis on the disability context.
