Center Associate Director Rebecca Brendel, MD, JD spoke with Medscape Medical News for an article on concerns about a Canadian law, projected to pass on March 17th, that would expand the eligibility criteria for Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) to include serious mental illness. Brendel emphasized the importance of providing all possible care to persons with serious mental illnesses: "As a profession we have very serious obligations to advance treatment so that a person with serious mental illness can live [a] full, productive, and healthy [life]."
