Today New York State, with its 20 mio citizens, becomes the 14th US jurisdiction to permit MAID as an end of life option
For those unsure what MAID entails, keep in mind the US does not follow the Dutch or Canadian models. It is among the strictest in the world, limited to terminal ill patients with full decision-making capacity and the physical ability to self-administer the meds. In other words, unlike other countries’ MAID models, in the US euthanasia remains prohibited and is prosecuted as murder

Dr Jenna Baker, the new CEO of the American Association of Suicidology, addresses the opening plenary session of the annual meeting in St Louis during which the AAS reinstated its 2017 policy paper that MAID is not su***de and that the term “Physician-Assisted Suicide” is a misleading, incorrect misnomer. In 2023 the 2017 statement had been withdrawn from the AAS website but under Dr Baker’s leadership, the heavily researched initial viewpoint of 2017 was restored. An important victory since language often shapes the debate and who would know better than the experts who study su***de professionally and whose mission is su***de prevention!

The UU of Raleigh statement of support for MAID will hopefully lead other open minded congregations statewide to adopt similar resolutions. A merciful God/Higher Power could not wish His servants to suffer needlessly at end of life against their will!
