so i called her and didn't get an answer and waited until the next day and called and didn't get an answer. then i decided, maybe we should go check and see what's happenin happening. >> it was here at jana's house that tom and viki discovered the worst. they got a spare key and entered the home and found jana lying in her bed. it was shortly there after they suspected foul play. >> i think when we were going through her belongings, there were a couple things we found, one was a brochure of the final exit network. >> in jana's checkbook, another important clue. on february 13th, 2007, final exit network membership fee, $50. but what was final exit? online, they found this website. it said it serves members in all 50 states suffering from intolerable medical circumstances, mentally incompetent, want end to their lives and meet our official written criteria. suddenly, it all made sense. that's when tom and viki realized jana had gotten help to kill herself. i went to meet dr. lawrence egbert, the man who approved jana's request to die. he's a retired anesthesiologist and the medical director at the time of jana's death. 84 years old, friendly, charming, disarming. he doesn't own a cell phone or a car and he is passionate about this cause. >> a lot of people think of this as a good idea. and saints. >> these saints, as he calls them helps hundreds of people to quote hasten death. by his own account, when he was director, he approved about 300 final exit applicants. >> do people apply? >> i can give you a telephone number if you want. >> what would they say to me if i called them. >> they would say, i'll get your name and your telephone number and somebody will call you back in a few days. that person would then call you back and ask you why. >> could you approve somebody without having met them? >> yes. i could. i could say this is reasonable, proceed. >> if that all sounds unnerving, also consider this. according to police reports, jana told final exit she had lesions on the liver, possible breast cancer, head injuries, removal of the gallbladder, overexposure to radiation, ingestion of rat poison. >> did she have liver lesions? >> no. >> did she have breast cancer? >> no. >> did she have toxins from rats? >> no. >> did she have arsenic poisoning? >> no. >> did you know all this looking at her application? >> i had the same records they had. >> the problem is dr. egbert took jana at her word. no doctor confirmed those physical ailments. jana certainly wasn't terminal, not even physically ill. there was something else. in one of jana's last psychiatric evaluations, her psychiatrist noticed this patient is becoming increasingly psychotic. on the last page, jana's diagnosis, psychosis. >> her brother-in-law and sister said she had life-long issues with mental illness, which was rel. they questioned the whole thing. did you question it, given the mental instability? >> sure. >> wouldn't that be a big red flag. >> it's a red flag, the question is how big. >> it was clear from her file she had ike tripsychiatric prob. if i was uncomfortable to decide on that, i had psychologists. >> no psychologist, no psychiatrist, no other doctors were consulted. still, again and again, egbert told me he stood by his decision. he said final exit volunteers saw nothing wrong either. jana's exit guide, as the group calls it was 78-year-old frank, and had known jana about a month before he went to her house and watched her die. >> she appeared to be competent. she did drive a car. she did, you know, go to the grocery store. she did keep a pretty good looking house, an apartment. so that was my impression. so there was no question in my mind that if you wanted to go through with the event. >> as an exit guide, langser says he's very careful not to give specific suicide instructions. >> then they may have some questions about it. but we don't touch any materials or any equipment. so they're on their own. >> for jana, here's what the last few days of her life look like. march 27th, 2007, she wrote a check out to party city for $64.84. she noted helium balloon kits. a few days later, she bought other supplies. i don't want to get too specific. >> ever get used to seeing it? you saw it 100 times. >> the day i get used to it, i will stop. >> when breathed in, helium depletes the body of oxygen. doctor egbert showed me how it all works. we've chosen not to show the details, but to see it firsthand, even as a demonstration, was disturbing. >> was this horrifying to you? it was horrifying to me to hear about it. i can't imagine being there. >> you're not talking to a guy suffering with pain and smiling and saying thank you, thank you, docto doctor. >> langsner and one other guide were with jana on her final night, april 12th, 2007. >> she had her new pajamas on and once again, we asked her many times, are you sure you want to do this? we're not encouraging you, we want to know that you really want to do this and she said, yeah, let's do it. and that was it. >> it took presidential 15 minutes for jana to die. according to dr. egbert, she did not experience any pain. it took months for phoenix investigators to file charges. under arizona law, assisting a suicide is manslaughter. last year, they were tried for jana's death. jana's mental health was considered irrelevant by the court and excluded by the trial. egbert was acquitted while langsner and two other exit members pleaded guilty to lesser charges. >> what would you say to them if they were here? >> i would say to them bluntly they screwed up. they were so intent on what they were doing, they put that aside and continued with their mission. >> if it weren't for the final network, viki, do you think jana would still be alive? >> yes, i do. >> egbers is now retired from the final exit board and langsne rr langsner has finished probation. >> if i made a mistake, i wouldn't do it again. i didn't make a mistake. the law happens to be a mistake, have a law like that. assisted suicide. we didn't assist anybody. so i go back. >> as of this airing, final exit continues to take applications to help people kill themselves. >> doctor lawrence egbert as well as three other final exit members have now been indicted for their work in minnesota. we'll follow that case and keep you posted on what happens. shifting to the supreme court and obama-care. i will tell you the one thing you really need to understand. plus the world's oldest l e living yoga instructor. she's 93 and coming by to share her secret. ♪ [ acoustic guitar: upbeat ] [ dog ] we found it together. on a walk, walk, walk. love to walk. yeah, we found that wonderful thing. and you smiled. and threw it. and i decided i would never, ever leave it anywhere. because that wonderful, bouncy, roll-around thing... had made you play. and that... had made you smile.

[ yawning sound ] that's me and some of the citizen medical team thursday at 10:00 waiting to see if the supreme court would release the obama-care decision. it didn't happen but the ruling will arrive this week. most observers betting on monday. the biggest issue you probably heard from the court is the individual mandate. here's what it means. starting in 2013, if you don't have insurance through a job and don't have medicare or medicaid, you have to buy your own coverage, just like car insurance. it's sort of funny how things go. i've been following this a long time. as you probably know, most republicans say the mandate is unconstitutional. back in the '90s, the individual mandate was promoted by top republicans like newt gingrich and bob dole. later running for president, hillary clinton also wanted a mandate. at that time, barack obama, candidate obama was against it. >> senator clinton says i'm going to make universal health care by mandating that everybody buy it. but if people can't afford it, it doesn't matter what the mandate is, they're not going to buy it. by the way, senator clinton still hasn't explained what exactly this mandate is, what she will do if somebody doesn't purchase health care? is she going to fine them? is she going to garnish their wages? >> of course, he later came around to mrs. clinton's position, as you know. why does this all matter? i want to tell you an important story. since the 1990s, at least eight states have overhauled their insurance laws. kentucky is a typical example. in 1994, its new law told insurance companies, you have to cover everyone, even if they're chronically sick and you can't charge them too much money. the same as obama-care, but in kentucky, there was no mandate. think of it like this. what if no one bought car insurance until their car was already wrecked on the side of the road. car insurance companies probably couldn't last and that's pretty much what happened in kentucky. before that law in kentucky, there were 43 companies selling individual insurance policies. seven years later, there were two. and the law had to be changed, overhauled. it was much the same way in those other states as well. if the supreme court strikes down just the mandate, the whole country now will be in that same boat. of course, the court could also strike down the entire law or leave the entire law intact. whatever it is, we will dig in next week. i will take your questions on twitter all week lon long @sanjayguptacnn. plus, i will introduce you to a remarkable person, one of my favorite story of the year, the world's oldest yoga teacher. rdor the time you spent there. genius. yeah, genius. you guys must have your own loyalty program, right?
