Deadly Consequences

Dr. Phil's guests say they're dealing with serious illnesses that could have

deadly outcomes. First, Annette says as a mother, she wants the right to

euthanize her severely-disabled children, 42-year-old and 43-year-old

Janet, who have been institutionalized for more than three decades with the rare

genetic disorder, Sanfilippo Syndrome. Her only legal option is to remove their

feeding tubes, which she says would lead to a painful and inhumane death. What

would you do? Hear from acclaimed trial attorney Geoffrey Fieger on why he

thinks the laws against euthanasia should be changed. Then, former model

Vostry, 25, says that she suffers from constant pain and seizures

caused by what some doctors believe to be chronic Lyme disease, and others

wonder if she's faking. With natural medicine providing minimal relief, hear how

she says she's turned to self-medicating to dull her pain. Plus, chronic Lyme

disease hits close to home for a Dr. Phil staff member and a San Diego

weathercaster.
