Lecture Details

From the Greek eu meaning ‘well’ or ‘good’ and thanatos meaning ‘death’, the term ‘euthanasia’ literally means ‘to have a good death’. But what does that mean? And who should decide? And why? In this lecture, we will consider the history of mercy killing and its evolution and development as Medical Assistance in Dying (or MAID) in Canada.
