This American Life episode assisted suicide story?
February 24, 2010 7:37 AM Subscribe
This American Life filter - relatively recently, (maybe a rebroadcast?) heard part of story re man who assisted his mother to end her life and how he felt - I've searched their archives for mother and for son; can't find it. Also searched AskMefi some, too many hits. Can anyone help?
It's from "How to Rest in Peace" and the description is here.

Best answer: Act Two. The Good Son.
A story about a mother who wants to commit suicide and a son who dutifully helps her do it—even though his mother is a happy, healthy, independent person. How did they manage to pull it off? Practice, practice, practice. (16 minutes)
(from episode 342, How to Rest in Peace, 11-2-2007 is the original broadcast date)
On preview: BAH! SCOOPED!
