The Right to Die: Ethics of Euthanasia & Mental Health (#197)
Manage episode 468196188 series 3354331
At just 28 years old, contemporary artist and writer Joseph Awuah-Darko opens up about his struggles with chronic bipolar disorder, loneliness, and the bureaucratic process of assisted euthanasia in the Netherlands.
In this episode of DEAD Talks, we explore:
- The controversial ethics of euthanasia and the “right to die”
- Men’s mental health, stigma, and societal silence
- The emotional reality of living with bipolar disorder
- Finding peace through art, purpose, and open dialogue
This is a powerful and thought-provoking conversation that challenges cultural taboos, sparks awareness, and advocates for empathy in how we approach mental health and end-of-life choices.

DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh.
