If you have any questions about Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada, join Dr. Chantal Perrot, one of Canada’s most experienced and knowledgeable MAiD assessors and providers for a factual and frank discussion about MAiD.
Dr. Perrot describes
- The history of MAiD in Canada - where we are now and what changes are being considered for the future.
- The eligibility criteria, in particular as applied to people with complex chronic diseases.
- How MAiD is delivered - the safeguards in place to protect patients.
And she answers many questions from me and the participants, including:
- Is it possible to pursue medical treatment and MAiD at the same time?
What is the interface between palliative care and MAiD? - If you are mentally capable, but physically incapable of going through the process, how can you apply for MAiD?
- How do you show a long-term understanding of an advance directive?
This recording is for
- People living with chronic suffering they worry may become unbearable.
- Family members, partners, and caregivers who want to understand end-of-life options.
- Anyone who would rather face these questions with clarity than avoid them.
The recording is approximately 65 minutes.
- 7-minute introduction
- 22-minute presentation
- 36 mins of Q&A
