PRI's The World: 12/31/2015

It's our last edition of The World for 2015, which means we're marking endings and beginnings. Two obituary writers join us to celebrate lives well lived and reveal why their craft is anything but depressing. Plus, we hear about a Turkish journalist who has written an open letter to would-be ISIS recruits, proposing an alternative jihad. He'll tell us what he means by that. Also, the story of children adopted by Americans decades ago who discovered recently that they're not US citizens. They're effectively stateless, and some of them are even being deported.
