Voluntary Stopping of Eating and Drinking - One More End of Life Option


Listen Later

VSED, or voluntary stopping of eating and drinking, is legal in all 50 states. It is not considered suicide. Why do people choose this option, and how can this manner of dying be more comfortable and peaceful?
Suzanne O'Brien, RN, has thoughts that I will share.
Judith Schwarz, RN, Ph.D., also has shared her thoughts on VSED.
I have my thoughts, too, and included them for you in this episode.

And what about life insurance? Does it cover VSED or MAID?
