Hosted by Connie Jorsvik, join us for this engaging online discussion with Canadian bioethicist Eric Mathison, PhD.
In this important conversation, we will explore:
The Clinical Ethicist: The vital, often behind-the-scenes role these professionals play in hospitals, and how they impact patient care and end-of-life decisions.
Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD): As a fierce defender of medical autonomy, Eric will discuss the ethics of assisted dying in Canada. He has written extensively on why expanding MAiD access is both legally and morally justified, and why removing the "reasonably foreseeable death" requirement is a triumph for bodily autonomy.
Advance Care Planning: Eric has boldly stated that "advance care planning is broken" in Canada. He will share his insights into why the current system fails patients and what he is building to fix it, so that our final wishes are actually honoured.
At the end of our chat, we will open the floor for your questions.
