As medically assisted dying evolves, who can access it? And why?

May 3, 2022
|
Stefanie Phillips

There have been some heartbreaking headlines recently, about people who are living with chronic conditions in situations that force them to suffer—and choosing a medically assisted death because they can't find affordable housing that can accommodate them. These stories are complicated, but so is every conversation around a medically assisted death.

Now that the law has been around for years, it's better understood but it's also evolving. Next year, patients will be able to request MAiD with the sole condition of mental illness, which will make these conversations even more difficult. So who can access MAiD, how is it changing? What's next? And ... why is it so difficult for Canadians to talk about death?

GUEST: Dr. Stefanie Green, MAiD practitioner, co-founder and current President of the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers
