Medical Aid in Dying: Gaining Attention in America

The presenters at the PALTC23 program “Medical Aid in Dying (MAID): Medical, Ethical, and Legal Implications” showed a powerful video about an older couple who decided to take control of their lives and deaths. It presented an honest, poignant, and sometimes difficult-to-watch picture of MAID — why people choose this path and its impact on those around them. This was part of a discussion about a controversial procedure that has been gaining public and legislative support.
