In This Episode
This episode was recorded April 27, 2020. Just like last week’s episode, we again talk about the value of a human life.
It’s a recurring theme on The Alzheimer’s Podcast, because we believe that when others don’t see people living with a dementia diagnosis as having value simply because they’re our fellow humans, then every human life can be devalued.
And when that happens, inhumane treatment can be justified based on any criteria those in power come up with in the moment.
Obviously, we had no idea when we recorded this episode that it would be released during a time of global protests demanding the perfectly reasonable acknowledgement that Black lives matter.
We are in no way looking to co-opt a movement or diminish the message that Black lives matter. Rather, we stand in solidarity.
