Is the Medical Aid in Dying Movement Opening Up a Bigger Conversation? As Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) legislation continues to expand across the United States, a deeper question is emerging: What is really driving the conversation? In this episode, Suzanne B. O'Brien, RN, Founder and CEO of Doulagivers Institute and author of The Good Death, explores the growing movement around Medical Aid in Dying and asks us to look beneath the headlines, politics, and debates to uncover what many people are truly seeking. Suzanne recently appeared on the nationally acclaimed Freakonomics Radio podcast alongside New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who discussed her decision to sign Medical Aid in Dying into law in New York State. While opinions on MAID vary widely, Suzanne believes there is one important truth that deserves more attention: The desire for Medical Aid in Dying is often rooted in fear. Fear of pain. Fear of prolonged suffering. Fear of loss of dignity. Fear of losing autonomy. Fear of becoming a burden to loved ones. But what if, instead of debating only the final decision, we focused on addressing the fears that lead people there? Drawing on more than 20 years as a hospice and oncology nurse and the bedside wisdom of over 1,000 dying patients, Suzanne shares how education, preparation, community support, and compassionate end-of-life care can transform fear into peace. This episode opens an important conversation about what it means to die well—and ultimately, what it means to live well. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why Medical Aid in Dying has become such an important public conversation The fears that most commonly arise at the end of life What thousands of patients have taught Suzanne about suffering, peace, and quality of life How lack of education around dying creates unnecessary fear The difference between a medical event and a human experience Why end-of-life planning can dramatically reduce suffering How communities can reclaim the sacred role of caring for one another The critical gaps in our healthcare system around aging, caregiving, and end-of-life support What families can do now to prepare with greater confidence and peace of mind A Question Worth Asking If people are choosing Medical Aid in Dying because they fear pain, suffering, loss of dignity, or becoming a burden... Shouldn't we first make sure they have access to the education, support, resources, and care that can address those fears? That is the conversation Suzanne believes is the invitation of this moment: Returning Death Back to Sacred Experience it was meant to be.   Resources Mentioned   Death Doula Secrets Webinar: https://event.webinarjam.com/4kv5v/register/zmyryix0?

Stephen Grootes speaks to Zanele Sabela COSATU Spokesperson, about the regulator’s warning that GEMS’s proposed 7.5% contribution hike may be financially unsound and could undermine the scheme’s long-term stability, including risks to its solvency and funding gap concerns. COSATU argues that despite these warnings, civil servants cannot continue absorbing steep medical aid increases amid weak wage growth, insisting that affordability must be prioritised and that GEMS should first tackle inefficiencies and governance costs rather than shift the burden onto members.

Gov. JB Pritzker signed the $55.9 billion budget package for the upcoming fiscal year, along with a revenue package to help pay for it. Meanwhile, lawmakers failed to take action regulating data centers in Illinois, but controversy over those developments is now going away. And a federal lawsuit seeks to block the state's Medical Aid in Dying law from going into effect in September. Ben Szalinski, Jerry Nowicki, Nikoel Hytrek and Jenna Schweikert discuss those stories with host Peter Hancock.

Jeff Monasso joins Ryan Wrecker and Kim St. Onge to discuss Illinois' new medical aid-in-dying law, known as Deb's Law, which allows certain terminally ill patients to obtain life-ending medication under strict medical guidelines. The conversation examines the law's requirements, safeguards, and the personal story that helped inspire its passage. Monasso also breaks down a federal lawsuit challenging the law, with disability rights advocates, physicians, and patients arguing it could create unequal treatment for individuals with disabilities and terminal illnesses. The discussion explores concerns about potential misuse, questions surrounding informed consent, comparisons to similar laws in other states and countries, and the broader ethical debate over dignity, suffering, personal choice, and end-of-life care.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Thanda Sithole, FNB & WesBank Senior Economist, about South Africa’s modest 0.5% GDP growth in the first quarter, unpacking the resilience in finance and agriculture, the drag from manufacturing and declining fixed investment, and what the mixed signals in consumer spending, exports, and inventories mean for the country’s economic outlook. In other interviews, Luyanda Njilo, Senior Equity research analyst for healthcare at Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking talks about a growing challenge facing South Africa’s medical aid industry: the decline in younger members. Medical schemes rely on younger, healthier members to help subsidise the healthcare costs of older beneficiaries, but that balance is increasingly under strain as fewer young adults join or remain on medical aid.

California's End of Life Option Act, which allows people with certain terminal illnesses and a life expectancy of less than six months to receive medication that ends their life, turns 10 this month. Yet despite polling showing the policy is popular, access remains complicated and controversial, and few eligible patients actually pursue the option. We'll discuss how the program has worked in California and examine the shifting national support for medical aid-in-dying policies. Guests: Paula Span, adjunct professor, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism; writes the New Old Age column, a co-production of The New York Times and KFF Health News Dr. Lonny Shavelson, physician and director of education, Academy of Aid-in-Dying Medicine; medical doctor who's provided aid-in-dying care for 7 years Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we're joined by writer, academic and creator John Duncan to talk about the effects Large Language Models are having on academic writing and research. John talks about the growing number of AI hallucinations that are appearing in academic papers and articles and what it reveals about the poor working and pay conditions of academics in the UK and around the world.

I had the privilege of learning from fellow Greenwall Faculty Scholar Lisa Harris about a term she termed, "dangertalk."  As an ob/gyn and abortion provider, Lisa found the debate around the legality of abortion so polarizing that it created a false dichotomy: you're either for or against.  Any talk about misgivings, uncertainty, ambiguity, or ambivalence was silenced.  Talking about these issues in the face of polarization was deemed dangerous and undermining to one side or another. "How could you?" For Lisa's work in finding common ground and embracing nuance she was awarded the 2023 Bernard Lo Award for forging connections across divisions. In today's podcast we focus on the equivalent experience of moral uncertainty, distress, and residue among prescribers of medical aid in dying.  We are joined by Carly Zapata and Dani Chammas, prescribers of medical aid in dying in California. We discuss: Their journey prescribing medical aid in dying, and reasons for choosing to prescribe The legality of prescribing in California.  We compare California to Canada, as we have previously on this podcast. We discuss new limited survey data suggesting that legal barriers may not explain the remarkable 20 fold differences in use of medical aid in dying between California and Canada; rather, Canada has 6x the number of providers per capita as California, and much greater awareness of the legality of medical aid in dying. We talk about cases that are not as clear - e.g. people who have voluntarily stopped eating and drinking.   Moral issues, including ambiguity and ambivalence, distress and residue. For example the moral distress created when a patient requests medical aid in dying due to what is clearly a systems failure (see this Atlantic article for clear examples from Canada).  We ask if they sometimes feel frustrated that more people who are in favor of medical aid in dying are not prescribing, instead leaving prescribing responsibility to a relatively small group of clinicians.   How core ethical ideas might lead to very different conclusions about medical aid in dying, and ways Dani teaches ethics to trainees.   Psychological models that can help navigate this complex terrain with patients and families, including formulations and countertransference.   And I can't believe I haven't played, "I will follow you into the dark" previously - but google couldn't find it - really?  In 400+ GeriPal podcasts?  Great song.  So fitting.  My son Renn plays guitar on the audio only version. -Alex Smith   Additionally, some take home points, sent by Dani after recording: (1) Holding the dialectic: On one hand, people deserve the highest level of attention to their personhood and their suffering—an effort that, at times, can soften or even resolve a desire for hastened death. And on the other hand, some people will authentically experience this as the most values-aligned way of dying, given their circumstances. (2) Learning to accept that while laws create the safety rails, within those boundaries, morality is pluralistic. Both patients and clinicians bring deeply held moral frameworks to these decisions—and those frameworks deserve to be acknowledged and respected. (3) We have to be willing to ask the hard questions—and to show up for one another as we do. Because this work, more than almost any other, has taught us the profound impact of not feeling alone when navigating grey terrain. I view the discussion as an invitation for our field to not necessarily to become more certain, but to be willing to wrestle with the hard questions—while still showing up with rigor and compassion. And to remember that our patients are people before they are cases. If we can stay close enough to truly know them, we're much more likely to respond in ways that honor both their suffering and their dignity—whatever path that ultimately leads to.

This is a preview of a bonus episode! Check out the rest, as well as our extensive backlog of bonus episodes, here! We're joined by writer and journalist Sarah Jaffe, to talk about her new book , Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire. Sarah talks about the personal events that shaped the ideas for her book, and why she believes that meaningful political change must understand and cherish death and grieving rituals.

We also talk about the emerging economy of gambling apps and ‘predictive markets', in particular, the way it uses death as a phenomenon to be monetised and profited from, rather than a sacred moment that tells us what it means to be human.  Purchase and requests copies of Sarah's book here: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sarah-jaffe/from-the-ashes/9781541703490/ Follow Sarah's work here: https://sarahljaffe.com/podcasts/ ------- PALESTINE  AID LINKS -You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza -------- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!

This week, Hussein chats to London Centric editor Jim Waterson about his recent story about a real estate contractor making money on the side through racist and Islamophobic rage bait on TikTok. Jim talks about how his team tracked the contractor down using a comprehensive knowledge of British Bins, how his content fits into the broader milieu of fake immigration stories online, that are having a deep impact on British society and its politics, and why it feels near impossible to stop.

Disclaimer: This episode contains references to SA and CSA, that may be upsetting to some listeners.  This week, we're joined again by actor, director, and screenwriter Jonathan Daniel Brown to talk about Hollywood's AI infatuation, and how it's producing cheaper, and worse, films. Jonathan talks to us about how the AI industry entered Hollywood, the pressures it has placed on creators by forcing out technical expertise, and how it's driving film production out of Hollywood, and even out of the United States entirely. We also talk about the recent cache of Epstein files, and, among all the darkness and evil, the revelation that Epstein and his acolytes seemed to also be obsessed with posting online.  Follow Jonathan on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/jonathanbrown/ ------- PALESTINE  AID LINKS -You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza -------- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!

In my view, Michelle Lapierre was fortunate: she and her mother talked openly about end-of-life choices well before those conversations became necessary. And when her mother did become terminally ill, she was clear about her choice: to use Medical Aid in Dying, which has been legal in Colorado since 2017. What led them to have such clarity? What was the experience like? How does Michelle feel about it, years later? How do states like Colorado regulate and advocate for individuals to have this medical option at the end of life? Join us to hear an intimate and educated perspective on MAiD.

This is an unlocked bonus episode. You can find it, and many others like it, on our patreon! Friend of the show Oobah Butler returns to talk about his latest documentary,  How to Make a Million in 90 days.  Live from New York, Oobah tells us about the murky financial world he stumbled upon while making the documentary, filled with bored fintech CEOs and finance guys devoid of any real ideas, and desperate to make as much money as they can through exploiting attention and hype. We also talk about why this project may have been Oobah's funniest, but also most depressing – and what happens when a documentarian has to confront a group of people who refuse to engage with reality, while using their wealth to manipulate the world around them.  Watch Oobah's documentary here: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/how-i-made-1-million-in-90-days ------- PALESTINE  AID LINKS -You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza -------- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!

In December 2025, Governor Kathy Hochul reached an agreement with the New York state legislature to pass the Medical Aid in Dying Act, which would legalize what proponents call "death with dignity" and what critics call physician-assisted suicide. About a dozen other states already permit doctors to prescribe lethal medication to terminally ill patients who request it. The state of Oregon pioneered this practice in 1994 and it has since spread across the Western world. Now, there are people who have an ailing parent or grandparent or, God forbid, a child who is genuinely suffering—suffering in agonizing ways that make the cessation of that suffering seem like the only humane response. It would be inhuman not to acknowledge the enormous emotional, psychological, and physical burdens of that pain, or to minimize it. But the question of physician-assisted suicide ultimately is one about medical ethics as upheld by the physician, the distorting market effects of this practice, and social policy. What happens when the state makes it possible for large numbers of people to receive this option from the very person whose profession calls on him to heal and not harm? What happens to the moral foundations of our culture when assisted death becomes something we learn to abide? The evidence from places like Canada and the Netherlands begins to answer those questions in deeply disturbing ways. What started as a carefully limited option for the terminally ill has expanded dramatically. In Canada, deaths from medically assisted dying rose from 4,480 in 2018 to over 10,000 in 2021—and by 2022 accounted for 4 percent of all deaths in the country. Patients are now approved for reasons of poverty, loneliness, and mental illness. Veterans seeking PTSD treatment are sometimes offered death instead. The physician and educator Leon Kass warned nearly 30 years ago that once we break the ancient taboo against doctors killing patients, the practice would prove "in principle unregulable." The evidence now seems to vindicate that warning. To discuss this topic, Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver is joined by Aaron Rothstein, a neurologist at the University of Pennsylvania and a fellow in bioethics and American democracy at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. They discuss the origins of the modern euthanasia movement, and the disturbing reality of how euthanasia functions once legalized.

One of the most complex medical, ethical, moral, and religious questions of our era is that of physician-assisted suicide—also known as Medical Aid in Dying, or MAID. Eleven U.S. states and Washington, D.C. have legalized some form of MAID for terminally ill patients. And New York might join them. Over the summer, a Medical Aid in Dying Act passed New York's state legislature. It is now sitting on Governor Kathy Hochul's desk as she decides whether to sign it into law. Under the proposed New York bill, terminally ill adults with a prognosis of six months or less to live would be able to access a prescribed, self-administered life-ending medication. Supporters argue that this is a compassionate option—one that can relieve people of immense pain and suffering, allowing patients to choose when and where they die, and to do so surrounded by loved ones. Opponents see this as a violation of physicians' fundamental oath to do no harm. They also worry that while access may begin narrowly, it could expand over time to include people seeking death for reasons other than terminal illness—such as mental suffering or simply a desire to stop living. Cases like this have already occurred in Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada, and Switzerland. Rafaela Siewert sat down with two experts who see this topic very differently for a heated debate. David Hoffman is a healthcare attorney, clinical ethicist, and professor of bioethics at Columbia University. He argues that hypothetical future abuses of MAID shouldn't outweigh the needs of terminal patients who need this option now. Dr. Lydia Dugdale is a physician, medical ethicist, and professor of medicine at Columbia University. In her view, legalizing this practice of physician-assisted suicide risks undermining the responsibilities of governments, medical systems, and families to care for the mentally ill, the poor, and the physically disabled. And she fears that the potential for excessively expanded access over time is too great. We are among the many Americans who do not know what the right answer is. We see both sides—which is why grappling with the nuances of this subject is so important. This is a debate you won't want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
