Before and After: The Stories of Two People and the Maine Death with Dignity Act

December 9, 2020 By Ohio End of Life Options Leave a Comment

Before Maine’s Death with Dignity Act

In June 2019, Maine journalist Cindy Williams shared her family’s personal story. Her mother-in-law was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Ms. Williams shares their experience as her mother-in-law died without the option of Medical Aid in Dying.


After Maine’s Death with Dignity Act

Just days ago, Erik Carlson of Maine chose to end his life using Maine’s Death with Dignity Act that went into effect in September 2019. In this short video he talks about how and why he chose to end his life before his cancer robbed him of himself. These two videos are a great introduction to all the reasons why we are fighting for this option in Ohio. Please share with your family and friends new to this issue. It will help them understand. Thank you.

You can also read more about Erik Carlson, his family, and his decision here.

Please share your thoughts about these stories below. Thank you.
