SUMMARY:Dying on Our Terms: Medical Aid in Dying\, Palliative Care\, and the Right to Choose - Saturday Nov. 21-1pm\, Durham Main Library
DESCRIPTION:The Durham Main Library and Endswell Funeral Home present Dying on our Terms: Medical Aid in Dying\, Palliative Care\, and the Right to Choose. \n\n\n\nThis panel discussion will explore the complex and often deeply personal questions surrounding Medical Aid in Dying (MAID)\, palliative care\, and the broader conversation about individual autonomy at the end of life. \n\n\n\nThe discussion will be moderated by Steven Petrow\, an award-winning journalist and author who is writing a memoir about his sister’s death by Medical Aid in Dying (MAID). \n\n\n\nOur Speakers \n\n\n\nJay Niver\, of the Final Exit Network\, advocates for the right to die and self-determination in end-of-life decisions. \n\n\n\nEd Tiryakian\, J.D.\, of Dying Right NC\, works to advance legislation that would allow Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) in North Carolina. \n\n\n\nDr. David Fisher\, Palliative Care Medical Director at Duke HomeCare and Hospice\, offers insight into the role of palliative care in relieving suffering and supporting quality of life at life’s end. \n\n\n\nDr. Ben Frush is a hospital medicine and palliative care physician who serves as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Hospital Medicine and as core faculty at the Trent Center for Bioethics and Humanities at the Duke University School of Medicine. His scholarship focuses on the ethics of medical training and end-of-life care. \n\n\n\nTogether\, these panelists will discuss the medical\, ethical\, and personal dimensions of this important topic\, from the desire for autonomy to the value of palliative care in supporting patients and families. \n\n\n\nThis conversation invites attendees to reflect on what it means to approach death on our own terms and how we\, as a society\, can hold space for differing beliefs and choices at life’s end. \n\n\n\nThe views expressed by the panelists are their own and do not represent Duke University or Duke Health. \n\n\n\nRegister Here: https://durhamcountylibrary.libcal.com/event/17678367
