Ohioans with terminal illnesses have medical-aid-in-dying options in Vermont, Oregon
Thank you for running The Washington Post story about Vermonters opening their houses to the terminally ill traveling to use Vermont’s medical aid in dying (MAiD) law (“Homeowners open their houses to terminally ill people,” April 20). MAiD, in the ten states that allow it, affords competent adults suffering from a terminal illness the right to obtain a prescription they can use to end their lives peacefully on their own terms if they are within six months of death.

The Generational Impact of ALS: The Importance of Advance Planning
Written by: Laura Taxel
Brandy Gleason’s mother, Nannette Livingston, passed away in 2019 at 56. The cause of death was ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The same disease took Brandy’s grandmother and great-grandfather. Often called Lou Gehrig’s Disease in memory of the famous New York Yankees baseball player whose career it ended in 1939, ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that starts with muscle weakness and leads to loss of all motor function and ultimately complete paralysis. It is always fatal.
