After Peter brings up the Roe v Wade issue currently making its way through the Supreme Court, Peter & Phil go into a discussion about the ethics of our choices, and all the layers one has to consider when making hard decisions.  Pet owners have the difficult decision to put their pets to sleep, but just because a decision is potentially difficult, does that mean people should not be given the choice?  Join us, as the two discuss matters of life and death - and the choices we all should have in the matter (or not).   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ppcourageousconversation/message
