Or
256: Courtney was able to say goodbye
Today’s episode deals with a controversial question: Should a
person be legally allowed to get medical assistance to end their own
life?
And
keep in mind, this usually pertains to someone who is terminally ill,
and who is also mentally and emotionally stable enough to make that
decision on their own.
Here
in the US, most states still do not allow it. But Medical Assistance
in Dying is legal in all of Canada. That’s where Courtney lives.
Courtney
told this amazing story on the podcast about four years ago. It’s
the story of her mother’s decision, and it’s both wonderful and
heartbreaking.
And
stick around after, because I was able to record a chat with Courtney
to get an update on what’s happened since we last spoke.

you’d like to contact Courtney: [email protected]
