Medical aid in dying (MAID) is an end-of-life option available to 22% of the American population. This option is available to residents of states that have passed legislation allowing patients with terminal conditions to ingest a lethal dose of medication prescribed by a physician. The various state statutes describe a lengthy process to enroll in the program – designed to ensure the appropriate use of the option. In 1997, Oregon was the first state to legalize this end-of-life option. Since then, we have learned how difficult it is for most patients and their families to access this option. Hence, how can we anticipate and overcome the many challenges encountered when seeking MAID?Medical aid in dying (MAID) is an end-of-life option available to 22% of the American population.
