about 30 cases of complications have been reported to the oregon health authority. mostly vomiting, and six patients regained consciousness at least once before dying. >> toffler: it's basically corrupting the practice of medicine where we are no longer providers for the health and well-being of patients until they, they die naturally. but we're now actually hastening death by giving people massive overdoses. this is an inherent conflict of interest for doctors. >> lapook: dr. toffler says he faced these issues with his own wife, marlene, when she was dying of cancer two years ago. >> toffler: even with breathing difficulties, like my wife had with her terminal illness. and she had that fear. i had to help her to understand, "marlene, we can get through this together. we've got medicines to help relieve the air hunger. it's not gonna be that bad." and it wasn't. >> robert williams: hi dr. walsh, how are you? >> lapook: we joined dr. walsh as he visited one of his hospice patients, robert williams, at home. dr. walsh says the majority of
7:31 pm
his patients who are terminally ill receive hospice care. >> nurse: big breath. >> lapook: ...compassionate , professional end-of-life treatment that can include anti- anxiety drugs and powerful narcotics like morphine. though usually extremely effective at keeping people comfortable, in rare instances, standard hospice care doesn't work well enough. in those cases, dr. walsh says, one option is something called palliative sedation. >> walsh: when the physician decides that suffering is intolerable, the physician prescribes a medication which puts the patient in a coma. >> lapook: which is what? >> walsh: well, usually it's a barbiturate. the nurse administers it. it's given until the person is asleep. the person sleeps for three days, five days. i've had someone live ten days, still excreting, still breathing, with the family at the bedside wondering, "when is this going to end?" >> lapook: that was the kind of
7:32 pm
death californian jennifer glass was adamant she did not want. last year, battling lung cancer, she shared her fears in online videos. >> jennifer glass: the idea that it will end by me drowning in my own lung fluid while my family watches me suffer; that is terrifying. >> lapook: but last august, when standard hospice care was no longer enough, jennifer glass was put in palliative sedation, which lasted five-and-a-half days. though for most people it leads to a peaceful death, jennifer's husband, harlan seymour, says it did not work for her. >> harlan seymour: there were times when she was gurgling, where she was foaming through the mo-- the mouth and nose. and i feel that she was suffering on the inside. that it was really a terror on the inside. >> lapook: and what was it like for you to watch this? >> seymour: to be there and see my beautiful wife suffer and-- and wither away and have difficulty breathing. it was heartbreaking.
7:33 pm
>> lapook: dan diaz says he's grateful his last memories of his wife, brittany maynard, are of walking these woods in oregon. >> diaz: the last time i was here, brittany was at my side. the last time i did anything here, it was her and me and with the dogs. >> lapook: before brittany died, dan promised her he'd work to make aid-in-dying legal in their home state of california. so he quit his job and teamed up with the organization compassion & choices. last september, a bill was passed permitting aid-in-dying. it will go into effect this june. elizabeth wallner says she will now be able to control not only her suffering -- but where, with whom and when she dies. something she's grateful for since speaking with dan diaz and harlan seymour about their wives' final days. >> elizabeth wallner: those deaths were really, really different. and jennifer died in pain, and in fear, and panicking, and thinking she was drowning. >> lapook: whereas brittany?
7:34 pm
>> elizabeth wallner: brittany crawled into bed with her husband. he had her arms around her, and she was asleep in five minutes. and both women are gone. and yet, the difference of what they left behind is so profound. >> lapook: and it sounds like from what you're saying your decision to perhaps take the medication will be a final act-- >> elizabeth wallner: absolutely. >> lapook: --of protecting your son. >> elizabeth wallner: absolutely. i just want him to remember me laughing and, you know, giving him a hard time, and telling him to brush his teeth, and knowing that i would-- i would, you know, walk across the sun for him. >> announcer: dr. john lapook examines the fine line between practicing medicine and reporting on it. go to 60minutesovertime.com e t? i say we own it. lose all that negativity. just let it go.

7:36 pm
and i didn't get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. people who gave me options. kept me on track. and through it all, my retirement never got left behind. so today, i'm prepared for anything we may want tomorrow to be. every someday needs a plan. let's talk about your old 401(k) today.
7:39 pm
>> bill whitaker: it was the pioneer of modern architecture le corbusier, who said houses were machines for living in. and at the ripe old age of 41, bjarke ingels is turning out a lot of unusual machines. he is the architect of the moment, a starchitect, designing everything from skyscrapers to an n.f.l. stadium. but, as morley safer discovered, young mister ingles' designs, can be inventive, can be provocative and are anything but boring. >> morley safer: bjarke ingels is having his moment. >> bjarke ingels: when you see it from the memorial... >> safer: he's not only designing the final tower at the world trade center- >> ingels: basically we are at the middle of the ski slope, so it continues all the way down to there. >> safer: he is trotting the globe, with some 60 projects in the works.
7:40 pm
>> ingels: it's still very much a work in progress. >> safer: there's the googleplex, google's futuristic complex of domes planned for its campus in silicon valley. >> ingels: we were quite worried about that distance. >> safer: and the new lego headquarters in his native denmark. in new york city alone, he has five major projects underway, including a $3 billion highrise planned for hudson yards. that is a great view of new york so we decided to take to the hudson river to have a look. starting with this: a massive, almost finished apartment complex for all those young and restless new yorkers striving to make their first millions. tell me why you call it "the court scraper?" >> ingels: it is the unlikely child of a new york skyscraper, and if you like a copenhagen courtyard building. >> safer: but it's also a pyramid, it also could be a sail. >> ingels: exactly. eventually, we just realized we had to make it much more extreme.
7:41 pm
so it became a single tower-- to the east that then drops towards the water. the roof itself is something you call a saddle shape, or in geometric terms you call it a hyperbolic paraboloid. ( laughs ) it's almost like-- >> safer: say that three times quickly. >> ingels: yeah, exactly. >> safer: are you surprised how good it is, or how bad it is or how unique it is? >> ingels: it's paradoxical for an architect. the only thing you can see is all the battles you lost, all the compromises that had to be made, or the-- the ( bleep )-ups that couldn't be fixed. ( laughs ) you're going to have to bleep that out. >> danish guard: attention. >> safer: the rise and rise of young mr. ingels started here in copenhagen, where he grew up. his father an engineer, his mother a dentist. >> ingels: i wanted to be a cartoonist, but there was no cartoon academy. so i enrolled in the royal danish art academy school of architecture. but then i really got smitten by architecture. we don't want any verticals. >> safer: from the beginning, ingels says he set out to disrupt modern architecture's tyrany of what he calls "the
7:42 pm
formulaic, boring box." >> ingels: when i started studying architecture, people would say, you know, "can you tell me why are all modern buildings so boring?" because, like, people had this idea that in the good old days-- architecture had, like, ornament and little towers and spires and gargoyles. and today, it just becomes very practical. >> safer: after graduation, ingels lasted just two years working for famed architect rem koolhaas before setting out on his own. in 2005, he formed big --for the bjarke ingels group-- from his tiny apartment in copenhagen. >> ingels: denmark is one of the smallest countries on the planet. and there was something funny about calling a company "big." i think if i would have started "big" in america, i would probably never have called it "big." there was nothing but, a little bit of local small country humor in-- in the idea. some plaza. >> safer: almost immediately, he began to win design competitions, making a name for himself with inventive,
7:43 pm
whimsical designs for what can be often deadly boring: suburban apartment buildings. >> ingels: five years ago, we had built a few projects in copenhagen that were in a way ordinary. projects, like, housing and parking and shops and offices, but we had put them together in a way that created the-- maybe remarkable results. and suddenly, we got an invitation to come to new york and-- and look at the site on 57th street. and-- and in a way, i had nothing better to do, so i thought, "why don't i move to new york and see how it goes?" >> safer: it went pretty well. he now oversees 300 employees between offices in new york and copenhagen. >> ingels: the more it looks like a megalomaniacal. >> safer: ingels believes his success comes from his ability to combine the practical with the fantastical. like this harbor bath in copenhagen, where swimmers can swim in the city's harbor. or how about this? the design for the just unveiled
7:44 pm
new redskins stadium, complete with a moat for all those kayaking tailgaters. >> ingels: tailgating literally becomes a picnic in the park. >> safer: the culture at "big" is intense. ( cheers ) >> safer: but in off hours, blowing off steam dressed as their favorite comic book hero isn't uncommon. that's the boss armed with a gun full of tequila. >> ingels: the way we work is maybe unlike certain architects that have a very particular style, where it is the auteur. it has to be the-- the design principal who-- who makes the strokes of genius. i don't have to come up with the best idea. it is my job to make sure that it-- it is always the best idea that wins. >> michael kimmelman: i think bjarke is-- is really a wonderful spokesman. for himself and for, i would say also for the possibility that architecture can really make life better for people. >> safer: michael kimmelman is the architecture critic for "the new york times."
7:45 pm
he says ingels has combined natural talent with a mastery of marketing, a so called "star- chitect." >> kimmelman: it's rare that you get architects who are really in their 30s and 40s who get to build big projects. and bjarke has figured that out partly by selling a certain youthful notion of-- of the oldest starchitect model which is a glamour and spectacle. and he does something that i think is very important nowadays, which is to combine a notion of his own work with some larger social purpose. >> safer: but the thing that strikes me is a lot of people are willing to lay down billions of dollars-- >> kimmelman: billions. yeah, with a "b", yeah. >> safer: --on this kid. >> kimmelman: ( laughs ) yeah. it's true it is a gamble. he's got a lot of work coming down the pike. how is he going to make sure that work is not recycled, is original, that it's finished well? >> safer: there must be criticism by other architects. >> ingels: the more you are up to something interesting, the more it's going to inspire
7:46 pm
praise and criticism. >> safer: and in your case? >> ingels: we have a fair amount of-- of sunshine and the opposite. and i think if you were t-- if you were to take all of that to heart, you wouldn't be able to-- to-- you know, draw a line or-- or lay a brick. >> safer: ingels has become a celebrity at home in denmark, where he's designing the new headquarters of the most iconic of toymakers: lego. at the topping off ceremony in october, townspeople waited in line in the rain to catch a glimpse of the new building and its architect. >> ingels: that steel is the tieback. >> safer: that fame has also allowed him to take more risks and add more spectacle to his creations. this is a chimney that belches steam rings. it will go atop a green garbage incinerating power plant in copenhagen. the roof doubles as a ski slope. i mean, the building says, "come and look at me." >> ingels: yeah, since this
7:47 pm
power plant is really saving a lot of co2 emissions, it's almost a complete reversal of the symbolism of a chimney. >> safer: the idea for the outrageous structure originally started as a joke. >> ingels: normally, you would want to be as far away from a power plant as possible because it's polluting, it's noisy, it's smelly. but this-- this is so clean that you essentially have clean mountain air on the roof of it. and we thought, "maybe it would make sense to-- to make it a ski slope." and so, "yeah, great idea, like, let's get serious." but then, when you stop laughing, it-- it felt like, "wait a minute, maybe this is not so stupid, maybe it's actually a good idea." >> safer: never mind the starchitect appellation. you're a activist. >> ingels: if you're just reaffirming the status quo, then you are missing the point that the city is never complete. so every project we do somehow has to count. >> safer: particularly this one. the design for two world trade
7:48 pm
center, the final tower set to rise on the site. >> ingels: two world trade is roughly gonna be as tall as one world trade, but without the spire. and if you see it from here it-- it would appear as a series of seven city blocks of-- of different proportions stepping up towards the sky. >> safer: it must have been a dir-- very difficult assignment given that so much part of new york is hallowed ground. >> ingels: oh, yes. also because the site is so complex. there's, like, 11 subway lines. there's, like, multiple highways, service roads, power plants. like, the entire underground is like an anthill of complexity. so, i was, like, really scared that now we were getting, like, the opportunity of a lifetime, and we would be so restricted that it would be almost impossible to come up with something. >> larry silverstein: his designs can be counted on to be different. >> safer: developer larry silverstein bought the original twin towers just weeks before
7:49 pm
the attacks on 9/11, and has spent the last 14 years on the site's redevelopment. did you have any qualms about-- this very, very young architect? i mean, most architects don't come into their own until their 60s or even 80s. ( laughs ) >> silverstein: and here he is, 40 looking like 20. i said, "silverstein, it's time for you to realize, right, we're in-- we're in another era." right. the fact that i'm almost 85 years of age, maybe it's time for me to-- to begin to-- begin- - be a little more flexible ( laughs ) when it comes to these things. >> safer: the seasoned developer who has seen it all and the young starchitect have become an architectural odd couple. >> silverstein: i find this very tough for women to walk on for anybody in heels. if you talk to our people, our maintenance people, they will tell you this has become an unmitigated disaster. >> safer: the rebuilding effort at the world trade center has
7:50 pm
been long and tortured, full of false starts and unrealized plans. tower two is no different. in 2005, the job designing it had gone to preeminent architect norman foster, a british lord no less, but the proposed tower was never built. when rupert murdoch and his son james decided to move fox's headquarters to the site, they brought in ingels. and foster's design was scrapped. >> kimmelman: there was a palace coup and-- and foster was out. but foster was designing, really a different project for another client. >> safer: you were chosen over one of the world's leading architectural firms-norman foster. how did you pull that off? >> ingels: the design that had already been designed for the site was m-- was very much designed in the thinking of-- of the old financial district. and as the whole neighborhood has changed, what was needed was-- was a different kind of building. and sometimes the set up needs to change.
7:51 pm
>> safer: which it did yet again when rupert murdoch went from daddy warbucks to scrooge and pulled out of the deal to move to two world trade, leaving silverstein on the hook to find a new tenant and get the building built. >> ingels: the second we have designed them and built them, they belong to everybody. >> safer: as for ingels, he is acutely aware of his responsibility with the tower's design, knowing that 9/11 is forever etched in all of our minds. >> ingels: i got a letter from a brother of a firefighter that gave his life at the 9/11. and he just wrote me to say that, i see it as a giant staircase to heaven evoking the heroic stair climb of the first responders at 9/11. and to him, he thought the skyline of manhattan itself would commemorate the heroism, and sacrifice of 9/11. i couldn't claim that we had that we have thought of it like that. but now, i can't think of the
7:52 pm
building without also seeing-- seeing that interpretation. >> safer: it must be a gr-- a great honor to have gotten that commission. >> ingels: it's probably the most watched skyline in the world. so it's definitely a place where-- where you better get it right. s cbs sports pup date is brought to you by the lincoln motor company. i'm greg gumbel. the ncaa tournament begins tuesday nougat with the first four on trutv. the round of four gets under way on cbs. trutv and tnt on thursday. the overall number one is kansas in the south. it's acc champ north carolina in the east, virginia the top seed in the midwest and oregon out west. for more sports news and information, go to cbssports.com. could do some th.

hello, oscar. felix, i hate that i'm used to this. observe. after weeks of practice, i have successfully mastered the salamba sirsasana. by rooting my power deep into the earth, i become an immovable tower of strength. aah! oh! and gracefully transitioning into plow. thank you, felix. that was a highlight to an otherwise crappy day. what happened? i'm crossing 71st street and some moron in a hot dog suit shoves a flier in my face. oh, yes, i know him. he's a very persistent wiener. anyway, i finally take it and throw it in the trash, but because nobody picks up the garbage in this stupid city, it just falls off the top of this trash mountain and lands in the street.
8:01 pm
i get a ticket for littering, and the hot dog goes free. well, the hot dog could never go to jail. he'd be eaten alive. really? nothing? you're in that bad of a mood? i'm just so sick of new york. you know what i'm gonna do? i'm gonna move into a cabin in the woods. yes, and marry a sexy survivalist and smoke your own jerky. you say that every few months. i mean it this time. i'm through with this city. you know what you need is an uplifting urban experience, and i have just the thing. if you say "paddle boating" again, so help me god... no, no, of course not. not when the swans are breeding. right. no, my yoga instructor, dante, has asked me to fill in for him at his next class. i didn't know you were good enough to teach. oh, yes, he said, and i quote, "if you know so much about yoga, why don't you teach the class?" and then he called me "smart guy." i like this dante.
8:02 pm
yes, that's the problem; everyone does. he can't be a good teacher because he's too busy being mr. popularity. well, you're not gonna have that problem. so, what do you say? well, let me think it over for a second. no. oscar, your loss. i really, really wish you would expose yourself to new things. whoa! you are exposing me to enough right now! oscar, with a little bit of practice, you could do this. felix, if i could do that, i'd never leave the apartment. so, ever since i retired from baseball, i've been getting offers to do endorsements and stuff, and since you do such great work for oscar, i was hoping you could represent me. oh, i thought it might be something like that.
8:03 pm
great. this norwegian company wants me to endorse a new sports supplement. it's called, uh, fjelltrakter. it's supposed to... (in bad announcer voice): ...enhance your performance and give you that extra burst of energy. okay, we're gonna get you an acting coach. right. but if this stuff makes me look like you, i'll take some right now. well, it's medicine, teddy. it's not magic. hey, i only take crap like that from clients. so sign here and initial there. magic, that's hilarious. okay, i have a double cheeseburger. uh-huh. a chicken sandwich. uh-huh. and a loaded baked potato. and none of that is what we ordered. again? (groans) sorry. what can i get for you? oh, great. you're all at the bar... bright and early. i will be teaching a yoga class tomorrow, and i would love it if you could all make it. if it isn't too much of a stretch. (chuckles) yeah, yoga's not really my thing.
8:04 pm
guys, yoga changed my life. you might be surprised to know this, but when i was going through my divorce, i was a bit of a wreck. you're kidding. you? come on! yes, yes. no. thanks to yoga, it helped me face my demons and emerge a calmer, stronger man ready to let go of my marriage and move on with the next chapter of my life. really? you're moving on? like, dating and all that? i mean, you never actually said dating, but i think that we all just assumed. i mean, you're a human with needs and desires. yes to yoga. great, emily's in. murph, what do you say? i guess i could. i did a little yoga... teacher once. got murph. teddy? well, my wife wants me to stay home and watch the notebook tomorrow, so i'd say yes to an hour of being punched in the face. i really look forward to teaching you, but fair warning, i plan on doing lots of hands-on adjustments. ooh, (chuckles) no problem. just grab me and go for it. it's been a long time since i was... adjusted. run, oscar, move your skinny ass.
8:05 pm
(panting) i got to quit smoking. you don't smoke. then i'm really out of shape. now, remember, to get out of your littering ticket, you have to walk into that courtroom with respect. keep a positive attitude. stupid court, stupid cop, stupid city. just a little ray of sunshine, aren't you? oh, step aside, stale urine. we have a winner in the subway smell contest. oh, is it bothering you? i'm so sorry. (saxophone playing) oh, fantastic. dinner and a show. could you do that in a different car, please? who made you king of the subway? you just spit vindaloo all over my shirt. okay, some of that was already there. can't i just get from point "a" to point "b" without the music, the spitting and the making out? do you not see the ad for teenage pregnancy up there? oscar, calm down. i'm not gonna calm down until i'm off this train and away from all these idiots.
8:08 pm
how long are we talking here, half an hour? well, the flier said 90 minutes. with a nap in the middle? is that what that mat is for? i'm gonna need some of those endurance pills. how many should i take? let's see, uh, between fjorten and, uh, keveld. so, you just did your hair and makeup. no heels? shut up. i just came from a thing. was it a meeting with your john? have you guys seen felix? class should be starting. it's not like him to be... felix: join me, fellow travelers, as we embark on a voyage of self-discovery. please welcome your spiritual captain... ...felix unger. (whooping) where's dante? okay, dante is at his cousin's commitment ceremony in paramus.
8:09 pm
so i have the privilege of teaching you today. okay. a couple of good spots have opened up, uh... now, as some of you may know, i recently went through a pretty painful divorce, but it was yoga that got me through it. it got me out of my spiral, let me release my anger and become the totally centered man you see before you today. will dante be back next week? it's my belief that you haven't really practiced yoga unless you've had a cathartic emotional breakthrough. so hold on to your chakras, 'cause it's about to get namaste-y up in here. we will dive in with a pose that tests both your physical and your emotional strength, yoganidrasana, aka the human pretzel. that's not how dante starts the class. okay, steve, as we've established, dante isn't here today. joke's on him. i have the parking validations.

(feedback squeals) well, that clears that up. looks like you're gonna miss your court date. so i'm gonna have to pay the fine? this is a $200 train ride. thanks, new york. stop complaining. new york is the greatest city in the world. no, it's rude, obnoxious and dirty. and i know that also describes me, but it doesn't mean i want to hang out with it. you take this place for granted. me, growing up in ohio, i used to see new york in movies and on television. it looked so exciting. i remember the first time i saw that billy joel video. now i'm living that video. i'm the uptown girl. you can't afford to live uptown. 'cause i got a cheap-ass boss. but it's still the greatest city in the world. come on, people, back me up.
8:11 pm
(groaning) i pay two grand a month for my apartment, and i got a bathtub in my kitchen. mr. trump's got his own bathtub. must be nice. does that ever end? i got mugged in the park yesterday. why were you at the park? were you with that whore donna? mind your business. mind my business? okay, okay, come on, you guys. you're forgetting about all the great things that could only happen in new york. driver: ...will now last at least... (static) ...please don't panic... ...giant snake... (static) see? that would never happen in ohio. and starting out in downward dog, checking to make sure that your weight is balanced, your hands are shaped like little turtles and your toes are laughing. so, turtle hands, laughing toes and lower chaturanga. what the hell are turtle hands? this is harder than i thought. it might help if you take off your shirt.
8:12 pm

(chuckles) i mean, is that it? hey, i love your accent. where's that from? like, wisconsin? more like norway. ah! really? i'm about to become the spokesman for something called fjelltrakter. fjelltrakter. yeah, yeah. do you experience a problem with the penis? what? no. no, why? fjelltrakter means "mountain maker."
8:13 pm

8:14 pm
um, teddy, do you need some help getting up there? no, i'm good. you sure? don't touch me! so if voodoo isn't real, then why'd i kill all those chickens, huh? what did you ask him? i didn't ask him anything. what is with these people? i'm telling you, it's new york. it's a melting pot of people who are too crazy to live anywhere else. come on, somebody's got to have some love for this town. what about you, kindly gentleman? tell us your story. well, i was born and raised in the bronx. spent 40 years on wall street to support my passion. which was...? flashing. i... i-i'm sorry? i was a flasher. doesn't anybody remember flashing anymore? what's wrong with you people? everybody's so busy

looking down at their fancy itelephones, swiping and-and typing, they don't even notice an old man who's willing to expose his private parts to you! i hate this town. this is hard. can we take a break? good idea. maybe turn off the lights and everybody close their eyes? come on, that is quitter talk. what is this, pilates? people, when things get tough, this is when we dig down deep and find our hidden reserves of strength. okay, wow, looks like tonya is done digging. somebody's already found enlightenment. and doesn't want her parking validated. now, then, let's rise up into tree. and... where's murph? i think he's invading norway. why is everybody leaving? well, maybe you could try to make the class a little more fun.

how long are they going to keep us waiting? why is there no air? and what exactly is so fascinating about my cleavage?! whoa, whoa, whoa, what's happening here? you're supposed to be the upbeat one. and i'm the cranky pain in the ass. you're upsetting the balance of nature. you're right about this city. it's crowded and dirty, and everybody is just out for themselves. no, it's not that bad. the big apple! huddled masses! not los angeles! rat! (screaming) oh, my god! it looked right at me! it's coming back this way!

8:24 pm
i really messed this up, teddy. i just wanted to share something i love with people and have them do it exactly the way i thought they should. nothing's wrong with that first part. but as for the rest, i'll tell you the same thing i'd say to a woman who wants to cut her hair short: no one wants that. i thought that yoga had made me this calm, enlightened person, but i'm actually the same demanding perfectionist i was with my ex. and i drove my students away just like i drove ashley away. i'm so... what's the opposite of enlightened? unenlightened. right. doesn't have the gravitas i was hoping for. well, felix, you can't change overnight. but at least you're trying. as a wise man once said, when things get toughest, that's when you find your strength. keep digging. you'll find it. well said, teddy. there's no magic pill to make you grow. (chuckles) i wonder if there's a pill to make you shrink. ah, well... ah... should we go?
8:25 pm
