Episode 8 - Physician-Assisted Dying

Station to Station with Joe Pavia

Physician-assisted dying will become a reality in Canada this year. This episode deals with a town hall meeting I attended in Toronto. Ontario’s Ministry of Health wanted to hear from the community in person and through online surveys on this very emotional issue. If you’re interested in supplemental reading you’ll find the recommendations made by a Canadian advisory committee. Here is the link:final report and recommendations (PDF). As well you’ll find a link to the Death and Dignity Act from Oregon. https://public.health.oregon.gov/ProviderPartnerResources/EvaluationResearch/DeathwithDignityAct/Pages/index.aspx Check out Joe's website: www.joepavia.com
