Thanks for this good piece! I've worked with end-of-life issues for decades and am currently on the board of a great nonprofit, End of Life Choices CA. (www.endoflifechoicesca.org/) We counsel on all legal eol options including Medical Aid in Dying. (MAID is becoming the generic term for assisted dying -- we avoid "suicide" for umpteen reasons; no legal MAID death has ever been listed as "suicide" on the certificate.) It's wonderful to have thoughtful, well-written articles to promote dialog & understanding on this important topic. My "Dying Unafraid" (Synergistic Press, 1999) is out of print, but if you'd like a copy I'll be happy to send one (no charge; I bought a bunch when Synergistic closed.) Surely Medium has a way you could send me your address? I am technologically challenged. Hearts to you.
