How to Access Medical Aid in Dying in Oregon and Vermont
Thursday, August 8, 2024
6:30 PM EST
via Zoom
Registration ends Wednesday, 8/7 at midnight.
Join us for an interactive discussion on the pros, cons and challenges of traveling at the end of life to access Medical Aid in Dying.
Two states in the U.S. do not have residency requirements to access their assisted dying laws. But what is really involved in traveling to use this end-of-life option?
Speakers:
