As New York's Medical Aid in Dying Act is now in effect for qualified terminally ill patients, Colleen De Vos joins to share the story of her father, a Catholic with a terminal illness who chose to end his life through Canada's MAiD program in 2023. She reflects on how the decision affected her family, why she believes their concerns were overlooked, and how her father's death differed from the natural death of her stepmother. De Vos also discusses what she hopes lawmakers will take away from her experience as debates over assisted dying continue.
