Seminar 1 of MAID: Three Educational Seminar series
This session offers an explanation of MAiD, enriched by an overview of its a) legal development (Criminal Code) and b) medical development (eligibility and safeguards and latest Health Canada report). It also introduces two tensions faced by clinicians and medical facilities: conscientious objection and the relationship between MAiD and other forms of end-of-life care, including palliative care.
