Medical Aid in Dying

Medical Aid in Dying is a heavy topic. But it’s a topic I’m passionate about.

Line and wash sketch. Two people in a drab office. One is wearing a suit and sitting behind a desk. The other is in a wheelchair facing the desk. The suited guy says I'm sorry, as you know, there's a two year waiting list for accessible housing. Would you like MAiD instead?. There's a posted on the wall. Some of the words are truncated but they are diversity, belonging, inclusion.

I’ve long opposed the legalization of physician assisted suicide, euthanasia, or MAiD (Medical Aid in Dying). I’m not talking about it as often as I used to, but you can find the post about it in the February 15, 2026 edition of the newsletter
