Medical Aid in Dying, Questions of Ethics and Fairness
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) has received much exposure in a variety of forums. This has often been in the context of advocacy for or against making it legal in various states. It is currently legal in 11 U.S. jurisdictions. Unfortunately, the advocates don’t always have correct conclusions in their materials, leading to some opposing the policy who when they learn the facts actually support the policy. I recently engaged in a discussion with some healthcare providers who have been tracking the debate and are puzzled by the opposition from some in New Yorks debate. The question they led to for me was “is it ethical?”
