What can we do today to prepare for MAID legalization in New York?
Imagining New York After Medical Aid in Dying Legalization
October 27, 2022, 6:00pm-7:30pm EasternVia Zoom
Medical aid in dying (MAID) is expected to become legal in New York within the next few years. Once it becomes legal, terminally ill patients who have decision-making capacity can request for a doctor to prescribe a life-ending medication which the patient must self-administer, if they choose to do so, to have a peaceful death. As we look toward our future, it is time to imagine and prepare for a New York after MAID legalization.
Join us as we hear from expert panelists in California —including Lonny Shavelson, MD, a prominent end of life physician; Lori Goldwyn, an end of life doula; and Bradley Berman, a filmmaker who documented his close friend's journey with cancer and use of MAID — to explore what we can expect, what we should do to prepare, and what we can hope for once MAID becomes legal in New York.
