The first segment, "Whose Life Is It Anyway?", investigates the controversial issue of right-to-die laws and who has the ultimate say in end-of-life decisions.

These former officers are now fighting to free their family members who they believe have been wrongly convicted. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi delves into how these law enforcement officers are now facing scrutiny and backlash from their own communities, and how they navigate through this new role.

The final segment, "Bode," showcases the incredible life of two-time Olympic gold medalist skier, Bode Miller, and his wife, after the tragic death of their daughter. They have started a foundation promoting water safety in honor of their daughter so that no other family will suffer the same loss. The segment explores Bode's upbringing and his unconventional approach to skiing, his high-stakes Olympic race in Vancouver, and the perseverance it took for him to return to the sport after a devastating injury in 2015.
