End of life option advocate Dan Diaz is sharing the story of his wife Brittany Maynard and her pursuit  of a gentle death. Diagnosed at age 29 with a terminal brain tumor, Brittany chose to move 600 miles to a state that allowed for death with dignity, utilizing Medical Aid in Dying.  In this powerful interview, Dan describes the impact of her life and death on compassionate death choices and legislation.  

Since Brittany’s death in 2014, Medical Aid in Dying laws have expanded to eleven states in the U.S.  Dan continues to tell their story, advocating for expansion of death with dignity laws to every state.  We continue to learn from her experience and fierce determination to ensure the kind of death she wanted.
