Lapeer County Right to Life Benefit Dinner

Author and former Administrative Law Judge Lisa K. Gigliotti has a powerful message about The Courage to Honor the End of Life; a message even more critical now that bills to legalize assisted suicide in Michigan have been introduced. For more than twenty-five years Lisa has lived with severe rheumatoid arthritis and myasthenia gravis. Through fourteen major surgeries and recurrent use of a wheelchair, Lisa has maintained a fulfilling and positive life. She has achieved successful careers as an administrative law judge, a policy advisor for the Michigan senate and governor, a Bioethics law professor, and an advocate for people with disabilities and for improving end-of-life care. In pursuit of encouraging others, Lisa has written four books that describe her Italian-American upbringing and how Coraggio - courage - is the key to positively overcoming adversity.
