Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying: One Component of Canada's Plan for Compassionate End-of-Life Care?

In June 2016, Canada’s federal government passed legislation so eligible Canadian adults can request and receive medical assistance in dying. Previously, the Supreme Court of Canada had ruled that dying people have a constitutional right to assisted suicide. This legislation and the practice of MAID have placed Canada at the forefront of a possible worldwide assisted dying movement. This presentation focuses on why this law was passed, how MAID is done in Canada, and related outcomes and developments.
