Episode description
In 2016, the federal government legalized medical assistance in dying. However, it remains a controversial and sensitive topic, with some care providers refusing to do it.
We talk to Dr. Beverly Adams, the senior associate dean of education at the Cumming School of Medicine, about how medical assistance in dying can offer choice and dignity to grievously sick patients and how medical schools are adapting to the practice.
