As the medically assisted death movement grows, what is it like for someone nearing death to approach the idea of ending their life through the MAiD process? This is an intimate look into the decision that a couple has made together for one partner who has been diagnosed with ALS – a terminal and deteriorating condition. John and Lynn share with dignity and love their approach to John’s last days.
This inspiring documentary series shines a light on the evolution of death and dying, and the relationship between caregivers and terminal patients. It challenges ideas about end-of-life care and provides new ways to improve the quality of care.
