When It Comes to Medical Aid-in-Dying, We Must Protect the Vulnerable

When It Comes to Medical Aid-in-Dying, We Must Protect the Vulnerable
(Heidi de Marco/Kaiser Health New)

“Many such persons will have internalized the idea that they constitute an inconvenient and expensive burden on loved ones, as well as the healthcare system. Legalizing MAID risks reinforcing that message.”

Timeless reading in a fleeting world.
