'The Dying Brain' and 'Political Morals'

Kathryn interviews neuroscientist Adrian Owen PhD, author of “Into the Gray Zone: A Neuroscientist Explores the Border Between Life and Death”. Dr. Owen argues that patients thought to be non-responsive – often victims of traumatic brain injuries, strokes or degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s – are actually vibrantly alive. Through pioneering techniques, Owen affirms that these patients are conscious and in many cases able to communicate. Kathryn also interviews marriage and family therapist Michelle Deen, author of “Saving America’s Grace: Rethinking Family Values, Moral Politics, and the Culture War”. What does today’s political culture say about our morals and values? Deen explores how the election of Donald Trump is affecting our society, families, and children. Saving America’s Grace is about re-building a national character that inspires, leads and creates a new American culture that is strong, compassionate, and plays by the rules.
