SUMMARY:"When Law\, Ethics & Medicine Collide: Considering Medical Aid in Dying"
DESCRIPTION:University of Minnesota presents: \n\n\n\nTen states and the District of Columbia currently have statutes on the books or a court decision that authorizes medical aid in dying (often called MAID) for adults who are terminally ill. Many additional states\, including Minnesota\, are debating similar legislation. First legalized in 1997 under the Oregon Death with Dignity Act\, these state statutes authorize doctors to prescribe lethal medication that the patient may choose to take. No U.S. state statute authorizes euthanasia. Evolution of state law continues\, including reexamination of the state residency requirements. In 2016\, Canada authorized both provision of a lethal prescription and euthanasia. Starting in 2027\, Canada plans to enlarge eligibility to patients whose only underlying condition is a mental illness. Canada has faced significant pushback from human rights advocates and disability rights organizations\, suggesting the nation’s legal framework lacks the necessary oversight and safeguards to protect vulnerable populations. Our three panelists are experts on the law\, ethics\, and clinical realities of medical aid in dying\, in both the U.S. and Canada. They bring different perspectives and disciplines to this important debate. This presentation is free and open to the public.Audience members will be able to ask questions of multidisciplinary experts: \n\n\n\nThaddeus Mason Pope\, JD\, PhD\, HEC-CProfessor of LawDirector of the Health Law InstituteMitchell Hamline School of LawRecent Publications:Top Ten New and Needed Expansions of U.S. Medical Aid in Dying Laws\, American Journal of BioethicsMedical Aid in Dying: Key Variations Among U.S. Laws\, Journal of Health and Life Sciences Law \n\n\n\nK.
