Segment B: A visit to a DIY Bio lab and an interview with Marcus Wohlsen, author of Biopunk: DIY Scientists Hack the Software of Life.
Segment C: A two part interview with Dr. Peter Goodwin, who was instrumental in creating Oregon's Death with Dignity Law. Fifteen years after it went into effect, he used the law himself to end his life after a six year battle with a terminal brain disease.
