MAiD: the Power of Death and Relief

With great power comes great responsibility, and the responsibility of another's life or death is one that raises many moral concerns. The last century of medical advancements has not only brought deeper understanding of this field, but also a much more humane approach to others' suffering than earlier practices such as the omnipresent limb-sawing. Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) can end many patients' pains and many praise the practice for this ability, while opposing proponents point to the dangers of its abuse and violation of dignity.
