He said that he believes that the United States should do something like the Truth and Reconciliation because there is still a root of pain sitting in all African American and Native American that needs to be set free.

This is a broadcast between Peter Granitz and Audie Cornish. They are talking about how Desmond tutu revealed that he would like to have the option of an assisted death, which is currently illegal in South Africa. Tutu called it a dignified death for terminally ill citizens. Granitz points out that that Tutu had prostate cancer for decades and has been in and out of the hospital in recent years. A lot of people support him and his choice to support that idea but a lot of people are upset saying it goes against religious beliefs. It is obvious that Tutu is a religious man that has devoted his life to God so those allegations will not go far.
